[Pkg-ltsp-devel] LTSP propagation into testing is blocked by mips and mipsel

[Petter Reinholdtsen]

As I expected ltsp to move into testing yesterday, and this didn't
happen, I ha d look at the issue.  The problem is on mips (and
probably mipsel).

The ltsp-client package depend on 'initramfs-tools (>= 0.11) |
initrd-netboot-tools', and the latter is only for sarge.
initramfs-tools depend on klibc-utils, and klibc-utils is missing on
mips and mipsel because its build dependency linux-headers-2.6.15-1 is
missing.

So to get ltsp to move to testing, we need to make
linux-headers-2.6.15-1 available on mips and mipsel, and get the klibc
source package to build on mips and mipsel.

I'm not sure who to contact to fix the linux-header issue, and suspect
the release managers or the buildd maintainers are the correct people
to contact about a rebuild when the build dependency is available.

We can also ask for the mips and mipsel binaries of ltsp to be removed
from Debian, but I'm not sure if that will be accepted.

JFYI.
