Please rebuild OOo-voikko for SPARC

2006-11-01 Thread Timo Jyrinki
Hello, I was suggested to ask here for a rebuild of the SPARC version of openoffice.org-voikko (http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/o/openoffice.org-voikko/openoffice.org-voikko_1.1-4.dsc). The reason here is that the SPARC version was built against 2.0.4~rc3 version, which unfortunately
