The buildd logs for my package, aplus-fsf, show a failure to build on the s390 due to a compile error. I logged on to trex and attempted to build it in the unstable chroot. It built without error. Then I noticed that the error in the buildd log referred to a file /usr/include/c++/3.2/backward/ne

You may be interested in taking over the fcron package when you become a developer. Having the upstream and the Debian maintainer in the same country wouldn't do any harm, I don't plan on maintaining fcron long-term and I'm not sure whether Henrique wants it back when I'm finished with it. --
