[Aurora-sparc-user] current Aurora releases

[mat h]

It certainly does sound like a plan, and a good one at that.

Wasn't the ubuntu sparc release always a bit haphazard though - I believe the 7.x series temporarily became official releases with support for the Niagara systems but weren't previous releases community supported releases? I imagine that ubuntu dweebs somewhere out there will spin a sparc release of the 8.x versions too. I'm not honestly worried as long as Debian upsteam keep the sparc64 port - you know what they say after all: "ubuntu is ancient african for 'can't configure debian'"... :)
