Hello all,

Is there some interest to port this pkg on hppa?
I think so but I haven't enough time to help more for the moment.

Please advise,
Joel

I'll include your patch! :)

Just give me a sign, and I'll include it. I will not do it until next week, as I hope to get the package (v7.30-2) into Sarge when the 10days period is finished [1].

Is any other work required beyond the patch you already submitted to the maintainer? If so, just how much is needed? I have some time to spare.

I don't think there is more work than including the already written patch to get the package compiling on hppa.

The important issue is that I will not include support for hppa if the package is not of any use for the hppa users and developers. So please test it and see if you find the information that is provided of any interest.

Joel had built and tested it on a B180 and found the results usefull.

I just applied the patch and tested on a 712. Works great. I'm not sure if = all
