Steve, welcome! I'm just replying to what was already on the CC list. I've also added parisc-linux mailing list since this may involve kernel and/or need FP unit expertise that I don't have. > Unfortunately, it doesn't seem from the bug log as though much progress is > being made towards a resolution. We (several hppa developers) are working on it.

My opinion: release team should move on and ignore hppa until this is resolved. If it doesn't get resolved in the next couple of weeks (say by Feb or mid-Feb), then drop hppa from etch. But I'm not a DD and don't want to know the politics involved.

Yes, we are making progress - nothing new to report since last week. I'm looking at it today and will consult with other hppa developers once I have more data later today. And as noted above, I think release team should informally ignore hppa until this is resolved and we catch up again. But I don't know what the politics or policys in Debian allow for. I'm just a (mostly) happy debian user and upstream (hppa) maintainer. thanks, grant -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
