I've copied my cron-driven upload scripts to chiark, where they're now running. The procedure for uploading via chiark is now as follows: 1. Upload your files to chiark:/pub/debian/private/project/Incoming. 2. Rename them into chiark:/pub/debian/private/project/queue. My cron will pick them up

aout-* packages

1995-11-17 Thread Karl Ferguson
Hi.. Are these new aout-* packages going to stay the same name forever? And also, are there going to be elf-* packages under the debian-1.0 tree too? It's a little confusing having aout-gcc-2.6.3-4.deb and gcc-2.7.0-2.deb - is the 2.7 ELF? I think I read a little about this before

This brings up a potentially important question: 1.2.13 won't compile under ELF by default, and though there have been many threats of 1.2.14 it has yet to materialize. Are we going to push forward with 1.3.x, or stick with 1.2.13 and patch? I run 1.3 kernels myself, but they are not

As far as I can see, the following packages will have to go through this transition: electric-fence, libdb (part of libc4, but not of libc5; I'll take a look at this), libg++, libident, libncurses. add flex (for libfl) This brings up a good question. Do we really want to provide
