I went again through the mips build problems and collected the appended list which records the current state, with a few annotations added.
Thiemo Debian mips port, status 2007-05-16. See also: http://buildd.debian.org/~jeroen/status/architecture.php?suite=unstable&a=mips&priority= Architecture-independent problems, "failed" packages and Dep-waits are not systematically tracked. The mipsel port is only incidentially tracked. ========================================================================== Maybe fixed (TODO: remove when actually ok) ------------------------------------------- cacao # "CTX_EPC undeclared", patch sent, #449185, #479529, fixed in experimental, reopened root-system # partial patch sent, #434855, fixed differently upstream # -> but FTBFS in experimental with new version gddrescue # patch sent, #474426 guile-1.8 # segfaults (ia64 mips mipsel), patch sent, #481378 firebird2.0 # patch sent, #481208 scribus # was disabled for old toolchain bug, re-enable requested, #481441 libflorist # odd gnat-4.1 dep, patch sent, #479075 tightvnc # Needs imake tweak, patch sent, #481444 lasso # botched java check, patch sent, #479737, (mips mipsel s390) soci # patch sent, #481499 Needs retry ----------- usepackage # not reproducible, (mips mipsel) openarena # not reproducible, (mips) hildon-thumbnail # (mipsel) libhildonfm # (mips) [mipsel needs dep-wait on hildon-thumbnail] hildon-desktop # (sparc) [mips mipsel need dep-wait on libhildonfm] helium # (mipsel powerpc) netatalk # (mips) illuminator # (arm mips mipsel) libgdal-grass # (mips mipsel powerpc) hplip # (mips mipsel) Maybe needs retry (TODO: check) ------------------------------- -- Qt ABI, fix by waiting for next Qt version -- kde4libs # needs rebuild to fix ABI (or wait for new version) kdebase-runtime merkaartor universalindentgui sailcut psi ktoon # Broken qt ABI -- ghc6 stuff -- washngo # vm exhausted, (arm armel mips mipsel powerpc) haskell-haskell-src # vm exhausted, (mips mipsel alpha) lhs2tex pandoc gtkrsync highlighting-kate haskell-happs-data haskell-happs-ixset haskell-happs-server haskell-happs-state haskell-happs-util haskelldb-hsql-mysql haskelldb-hsql-odbc haskelldb-hsql-postgresql haskelldb-hsql-sqlite3 arch2darcs darcs-buildpackage hpodder -- other -- mlt # (ia64 mips mipsel powerpc) vdr-plugin-live kde-style-qtcurve # not reproducible, but see #462001, (amd64 arm hppa mips powerpc s390 sparc) mozart gpsdrive libgtk-java # needs libcairo-java-dev qtnx # needs libnxcl1 tuxguitar music-applet # needs libxml-parser-perl, (mips mipsel powerpc) mplayer # (hppa mips mipsel powerpc sparc) edenmath.app gnome-chemistry-utils virt-manager gsynaptics ucspi-proxy epiphany-extensions Broken source ------------- -- Bug reported -- monotone # Testsuite too strict, #474280 mklibs # See #445507 xserver-xorg-video-newport # See #402178 g-wrap # See #473085 noteedit # See #474896 libjdic-java # doesn't try to build arch-specific packages, #478943 iaxclient # Needs atomics, #475809 ardour # See #474422 kaffe # perl failure, pending, #479716 xcircuit # creates files in clean, #481460 glob2 # See #479872 gst-editor # See #436324 gnome-cups-manager # See #417209 camelbones # See #447373, removal requested haskell-syb-with-class # template haskell, #469890 -- gcc-4.3 induced bugs, no patch -- insighttoolkit # See #474537, #478950 necpp # See #474838 gpsim # See #474796 ttfm # See #474409 asc # See #478838 qtractor # See #481393 dballe # See #381397 -- bug unreported -- libqglviewer # creates files in clean galax # creates files in clean gigedit # gcc-4.3 gnudatalanguage # gcc-4.3 Should be in in P-a-s (or not-for-us?) -------------------------------------- -- sys/io.h on (mips mipsel powerpc) -- flashrom lcd4linux vbetool libx86 superiotool rovclock -- ocamlopt on !(alpha arm armel hppa ia64 m68k mips mipsel s390) -- ara spamoracle whitelister -- no upstream support for mips/mipsel -- rtai xen-3 virtualbox-ose xserver-xorg-video-intel # x86 only xserver-xorg-video-geode # x86 only libacpi # x86/ia64 only flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound # i386 only eeepc-modules-2.6 # i386 only cpushare # P2P distributed computing client systemtap # needs kprobe umview # UML related?
