Hello, I would love to resurrect debian sparc 64, I can provide 2 t2000 Sun fires, and one v880, which are not on line at the moment, but I will use them for testing. Also is there someone who made a CD image for a newer debian version to put on my Sun, so I don't have to build my own? Greetings

Hi! I was wondering how many here are still interested in the Debian SPARC port? In the past weeks, I have invested some efforts to revive the sparc64 port a bit and managed to get at least gcc-5 compile and work through the build queue a bit. Rod Schnell, a user from the US, kindly donated an Ul
