[Aurora-sparc-announce] [ANNOUNCE] Build 0.1 of the Aurora SPARC project is loose!

[Tom 'spot' Callaway]

To all who dare,

The first batch of RPMS are ready for the public eyes, ears, and hard 
drives. They can be found here:

http://aurora.linuxpower.org/build-0.1/

There is also a web page at aurora.linuxpower.org. Yes, it sucks, but I'm 
not a Web Designer. If you're graphically inclined, I'm accepting patches.

As far as Build 0.1 goes, it includes the basic pieces needed. Glibc, 
kernel-headers, gcc 2.96, X, gnome-libs, perl, python, and bash.

These packages are not for the average user, only for those needing 
bleeding edge and willing to help clean up code.

I wouldn't bet on any of the kernel packages booting. You're welcome to 
try.

Right now, there are no sparc64 specific packages, everything was build on 
my trusty SS5. Xconfigurator definitely doesn't work (any volunteers to 
dive into the source and try to figure out why its segfaulting?). There is 
an ICE in gcc 2.96 when trying to build ImageMagick that Jakub hasn't 
gotten back to me on. I know some of the packages have oddness with 
regards to bzip2, please, let me know when you find one, and ill rebuild 
it for build 0.2 sooner rather than later.

Please report bugs of any kind, and thanks for your patience.
