It's fixed, about 40 packages got through without my pgp ID, and I
wasn't about to go through them all :)

Sorry for the spam to the repective maintainers.

Could whoever setup the buildd on xia01 please fix it to pass -B to
dpkg-buildpackage as God and the upstream maintainers intended?

1999-05-07 Thread Christopher Lawrence
Either the buildd for sparc or some maintainer is not setting -m when
running dpkg-buildpackage... please check this.

Thanks,

As is mentioned in another posting, a bug was just discovered in the
kernel which is causing this (a linked list is being screwed up).  On
the vger mailing list people are suggesting that the problem is
dependent on memory configuration.

Hopefully this patch will soon make it into CVS and into a stock,
upstream kernel.  I'd like to keep our kernels synchronized with the
other platforms.  However, I will compile a patched kernel and put it
up on my local ftp/http site.

Thanks, I don't read it. I'm recompiling the kernel with this patch,
hopefully I'll be able to use the new glibc2.1 then :)

JavaStation-1 hangs (loops) when bank 0 has 32MB and bank 1 has 8MB.
It turned out that when we insert the element into the sorted list
we also append it, and this makes a circular list.

What puzzles me is that 2.2.5 has exactly the same bug, but it works.
Anyone saw unusual behaviour on sun4m's recently?

FYI, I've just done a quick review of this material, and there's
really not anything there which is not in the official sparc
documentation at http://www.debian.org/releases/slink/>.

[ Well, there was one thing about CD-ROM problems on Sun4m, but I just
added that... should be in the stock version soon. ]
