Hi everyone! I need some help from registered Debian developers[*] to compile static versions of apt and dpkg (potato/i386), to facilitate upgrades. The more static versions, the better! (Well, I just need them soon, so don't discuss first, Just Do It ;-)
You can do this on any potato box that has the necessary devel pkgs installed (AFAIK master has). 1. Fetch sources: wget http://incoming.debian.org/apt_0.3.19.tar.gz wget http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/potato/main/source/base/dpkg_1.6.12.99.tar.gz 2. Follow (easy!) instructions on: http://panic.et.tudelft.nl/~costar/potato/upgrade-i386/source/ 3. Make an md5sums file with checksums of the constructed .deb files: md5sum *.deb > MD5SUMS 4. Sign the MD5SUMS file with your GPG/PGP key[*]. 5. Put the packages & signed MD5SUMS on some HTTP/FTP site or mail them directly to me. Thanks in advance! Regards, Anne Bezemer [*] This is needed, because ftpmasters won't install unsigned things, and I'm not a developer myself... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
