Description sparcmoz 2003-08-24 03:14:27 UTC 
The linux sparc 11rc3 is on the mirrors/contrib and two (2) users have reported
success, so i wonder now if we should create an entry in the porting page? 

i am happy to be listed as contact or perhaps just put the dev@porting mail list. 

Could mention users are requested to help with the smoke tests.

The porting page should also mention where to find the various contrib packages.
Comment 1 sparcmoz 2003-08-31 13:28:55 UTC 
could linux sparc be mentioned on the porting page?
Comment 2 foskey 2003-08-31 13:38:31 UTC 
Could you be a little more concrete about the content.  a html snippet
would be perfect, just the facts would be fine.

Where is the webpage?  If you want a specific webpage we can create
one with all the information.

================
add this

<p><font color="#cc6600">Linux Sparc
<href="mailto:sparcmoz@openoffice.org"> Jim Watson</a>
</font></p>
=================

there is no web page, the tarball is on mirrors at openoffice/contrib 

but i think the porting page could mention this

Installers for some of these ports are found in openoffice/contrib at 
<href="http://distribution.openoffice.org/mirrors/#mirrors"> Current
Mirror Sites</a>
