dpkg and dpkg-dev binary and source tarballs for hppa-linux

Hi,

I've got CVS dpkg cross-compiled for PA-RISC. Have at it:

ftp://puffin.external.hp.com/pub/parisc/binaries/userspace/dpkg-20000824.tar.gz ftp://puffin.external.hp.com/pub/parisc/binaries/userspace/dpkg-dev-20000824.tar.gz

A tarball of the source is at:

ftp://puffin.external.hp.com/pub/parisc/src/dpkg-src-20000824.tar.gz

We don't have Perl yet (working on that today, maybe, if the kernel doesn't crash) so most dpkg-dev functionality isn't there, but it's a start.

The native toolchain is basically working for static binaries, and shared libraries should work as soon as we resolve some remaining issues with libgcc.a and PIC/non-PIC linking. I'll post a tarball for the native toolchain soon (beware, it's large).

The kernel is not stable enough (VM and exception handling are "not quite there yet") to really use this stuff though so don't get too excited :-)

If you're brave, you can use a 2.3.99pre8 kernel with the current arch/parisc/kernel/{signal.c,entry.S} until we get our really-slow-VM problems fixed.
