Zack, I kicked this off on my testing/unstable hybrid hppa box: dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -us Source/Build tree is on: iou.parisc-linux.org/~grundler/monotone-0.36/ hppa is a 32-bit user space and this system is running a 64-bit kernel. Please let me know off list if you would like access to that machine and/or ia64-linux machines. cheers, grant > This message is going out to all the porter lists for which the > monotone package presently FTBFS because of testsuite failures.
