debian-hppa-newlibc archive moving to debian-hppa

Hi,

Since the change in symbol versions (as well as the introduction of linuxthreads support) broke all old binaries, I've been rebuilding the Debian base system over the last few days with the new glibc. These packages have been building up in ftp://puffin.external.hp.com:/pub/debian-hppa-newlibc/ though I haven't really announced the existence of this archive.

At this point I have replaced my entire system with new binaries, and the newlibc archive is in fact more complete and up-to-date than the original one, so I would like to remove or archive the old one and switch to using this one exclusively. So, I've moved the old one to /pub/debian-hppa-oldlibc, and the new one to /pub/debian-hppa.

I believe Matt Taggart is putting together a new base system tarball using these new packages (we now have almost all of the relevant parts of the Debian 'base' section built).

I've been uploading NMU-versioned source packages (just the .diff.gz and .dsc) of any packages that have required significant source changes to /pub/debian-hppa-source. This does not include packages that need our versions of config.{guess,sub}, however. I haven't had time to submit the changes to the maintainers yet but I'll try to get it done this coming week.
