I did now have a look at the build failure, and i get :

  The following packages have unmet dependencies:
cdebconf-newt-udeb: Depends: libnewt0.52 but it is not installable
  E: Broken packages

I don't know who is to blame for this, probably the powerpc buildd or
something, but this is clearly something of which i am not responsible, since
the d-i build-depends are clearly satisfied on my machine, as i run
dpkg-checkbuilddeps on the svn checkout, and then apt-get install all missing
packages.

If there is something on my part to do there, i will willingly do so, but i
don't really see how my responsabibility could be engaged in this failure, as
the new daily build script don't send me the log mails anymore, and joeyh
collects those for monitoring, so anyone could have a look and fix the issues.

Friendly,

Sven Luther

For accusing me in two different emails that it is my fault the daily build is
broken, while he knows perfectly i am currently half a world away.

Furthermore, i have a script which daily scans the build-dep of the svn
checkout of the d-i tree, and installs the build-dependencies, so it should
not cause problems.

Also as said, it is a bit difficult to swallow that i am told debian is better
off without me, and then being held responsible for the d-i daily builds,
don't you think ? 

Really, i just wanted to be helpful to hsaymal, and orient him to the right
place, i may not have checked everything in detail, as i am not really in
conditions to do so, but that is no excuse for bashing me in 2 different
emails, and is furthermore a behavior very similar to the one i was almost
expulsed for, so two weights two measures ? 

Friendly,

Sven Luther

You mean for not taking a look at the build logs from time to time,
and a new installing a package every few months?

Or, to make it clearer: that there's nobody to blame.  Dependencies in
unstable change... just get on with it.

Did you actually take *any look* at the failure at all?  If so, you'd
know that you're blaming the wrong people...

I didn't touch the buildd since more than a week, so it is clear that (again)
the d-i team broke the daily builds and don't take the responsability to fix
them. Bashing on your porter is fine, but then don't expect them to fix stuff
at your whim, and do the job yourself.

I hereby officially announce that i won't continue to do the ungratefull job
of powerpc d-i porting, i hear the d-i team has plenty of folk to take my
place, so they should fix this.

And Frans, you are an unfeeling bastard, i personally asked you yesterday to
not pick on me like you are doing now, since i was facing another strong
crisis with my mother yesterday, and really didn't need such bullshit. It is
clear by your action that you have no human decency.

Just for the record, I tried d-i rc2 and it worked like a charm
(except for a constant set of error windows during detection from
'modprobe -v sbp2') so it certainly seems it is the broken daily
build.

Thanks,
Shyamal

This is not an initramfs-tools problem, but the result of powerpc daily 
d-i builds, for which Sven himself is responsible, failing for the last 
few days.

The kernel powerpc64 kernel (linux-image-2.6-powerpc64) could not be
installed because the initramfs build failed.

allow, but unfortunately I may not have access to this machine after
