Status...Packages...
We probably have enough packages ported to run autobuild -- Chris Davis has volunteered to set this up on our box in Sweden (ravel).
I am currently working out the details of amd64 support in dpkg and apt; dpkg is almost done, apt is 1/2 way there.
Documents...
See changelog for info on recent packages.
You can download the packages locally, or grab them of a mirror (my uplink sucks):
- UK: http://zeniiia.linux.org.uk/pub/apt/debian-amd64/.
Also, Alioth has a larger collection packages, of which some are mine.
- Alioth: http://debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org/ (maybe out of date).
- SE: http://farbror.acc.umu.se/amd64/ (rsync://farbror.acc.umu.se::pub/amd64).Any of my patches can be obtained from here.
I've also hacked up some scripts, they are here.
And any files that don't belong elsewhere are here.
There are some obsoleted packages store for historical purposes.
