Please, where ever this thing for sparc came from, delete it until it is
correct. The way it reads sounds like sparc upgrading is broken due to not
having a static apt/dpkg set. This is WRONG. I told Anne this, and it
looks like he ignored that. The document should atleast say in the "sparc"
section, this exact information. Until it does, I would like it removed.
I also told Anne that sparc slink->potato required a 2.2.x kernel. This
should also be in the sparc specific section (since it is already in the
"upgrade" section of the boot-floppies docs). It should also be noted (as
I told Anne) that sparc did not have a release prior to slink. This is all
very important information that I conveyed to the document writer, and
which is also already easily accesible from the boot-floppies docs.
IMO, all of this should be updated in the boot-floppies documentation to
avoid duplication. Then debian-cd can simply make symlinks in the CD
directory, and/or the archive can be linked. It's especially
disturbing that this document does not make any reference to the
boot-floppies documentation which *is* the official source for such info.
