a patch, and some questions

[Martin Schaffner <schaffner@gmx.li>]

Hi,

To cross-compile yaboot, I had to apply the following patch:

http://in3www.epfl.ch/~schaffne/yaboot-cross-compile.patch

Unfortunately, it seems that Ethan Benson rejected such a patch a while  
ago, saying that 1.x is "frozen and doomed". However, 2.x is not out  
yet...


I then tried to look if 2.x would cross-compile without patch.  
Unfortunately, I didn't find out how to compile it:

$ rsync -avz rsync.penguinppc.org::yaboot-unstable yaboot-1.99.x
$ cd yaboot-1.99.x/
$ ls
0arch-timestamps0  COPYING  ChangeLog  TODO  configs  lib  {arch}
$ find . -name yaboot.c
$ find . -iname Makefile
./lib/libc/Makefile
./lib/libc/{arch}/++pristine-trees/unlocked/prom-libc/prom-libc--devel/ 
prom-libc--devel--1.0/erbenson@alaska.net--public/prom-libc--devel- 
-1.0--patch-50/Makefile

It seems that the "second" directory, where yaboot.c is in 1.x, is not  
in the rsync tree. There are no build instructions either. What am I  
missing?

BTW... What do I do with the file <tla-1.1pre8-1.info> in order to tell  
fink about tla?

Thanks,
Martin
