If a problem is found, the first step is to decide if it is "upstream" |
| 10 |
or is it a problem for the distribution. |
| 11 |
The best way to know this is to try and reproduce a problem in the |
| 12 |
upstream build. |
| 13 |
Google for "contrib/linuxsparc" for the upstream sparc binaries. |
| 14 |
|

It is also needed to find if a problem is sparc related - test on |
| 16 |
different platforms. I can help you with that. |

There are currently not any bugs upstream that are specific to sparc. |

I am not a gentoo user, but doing the upstream OOo port for sparc |
