My Debian package does not work on Lenny. I recently moved my laptop
computer to Lenny, so I will be able to build 32 bit and 64 bit packages
of Aldor for it. I am not going to upgrade my server, so I will be able
to build Etch packages for 32 bit. I might also be able to build 64 bit
Etch packages with Ralf's help. 'libssp0' is needed for the stack
protection features I have enabled in the build. In recent gcc versions
(used by Lenny), this is part of gcc:

As for the source builds:
"This is currently disabled due to licence uncertainness."
I will soon create a stable snapshot of my local repository and send it
to you, personally.

That has been fixed long ago, but never published due to above mentioned
reasons.

Many, but I can't really work under the current circumstances. How are
Stephen's negiotiations coming along? How was the discussion with NAG?
