Try:

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.debian.org:/cvs/deity login
(empty password)

It should work. if not let me know and i can mail you a tarball. You
probably want to get the aliencode branch, which has hppa patches. Let
me know if you run into any problems.

Yes, or pick up the dpkg-architecture and dpkg-shlibdeps scripts from
http://puffin.external.hp.com/~tausq/, or wait for the next version of
dpkg to get built for hppa (it doesn't use ldd anymore)

hmmm.. didn't see this. I had built a slightly older version of dpkg
successfully.
