Hi, recently some R packages received bugs that seem to stem from a problem with the build setup (specifically, a qemu bug). When I asked back in one of the bugs[1] whether there are real m68k users I've got the answer
... there are still some users with actual hardware, but the autobuilders use qemu for better performance and/or reliability I conclude that the Debian project is running no real m68k hardware any more (please correct me if I'm wrong) and we are possibly doing a service for some users who potentially also run qemu (wild guess of mine). I'm wondering when it might be time to fully drop a hardware port instead of draining developer time for ethernity. I'm personally drawng the decision that I will tag any bug that concerns scientific software (which is my main focus) and that bug is on m68k only as wontfix and will set severity to minor. I'm sorry but my focus is on real use cases and stumbling upon bugs in BTS which are not helping any real user is just draining time. Kind regards Andreas.
