Is anyone counting? I haven't seen good, clear reasoning yet as to why 'parisc' does not adequately fit the requirements and 'hppa' does. Bdale said: > ... no messages have passed the debian-parisc list yet despite over 50 > subscribers ... Surely you exaggerate, I see _ten_ messages in my debian-parisc box, not including the subscription confirmation emails! But seriously, I would guess that most of the subscribers are userland hackers, not kernel people ... or, like me, aren't hackers at all, they're just sad lonely people who own an HP box and like being on mailing lists. =) When the announcement is made "okay, userland works and we're not going to change anything any more, at least not without big huge announcements" and people can start working with gusto on building packages, I'm sure the list traffic will go up considerably. We're just waiting for you to show us the way, in other words. =) Andrew. -- Andrew Shugg http://www.neep.com.au/ "Just remember Basil, there's always someone worse off than yourself." "Oh, really?
