--- Begin Message ---Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: normal Usertags: remove Please remove x-loader from unstable. Reasons (RoQA): - Maintained by the Debian QA Group; the last upload (1.5.1+git20110715+fca7cd2-7, October 2024) was a QA upload that had to lower the debhelper compat level from 13 to 8 to work around linker flags breaking the build. - Obsolete: x-loader is the first-stage bootloader for TI OMAP3/OMAP4 boards (BeagleBoard, IGEPv2, Overo, PandaBoard). Upstream is dead (git snapshot from 2011-07-15); these boards have been booted by U-Boot SPL for over a decade. - Unused: popcon reports 1 installation of x-loader-omap4-panda and none for the other binary packages. There are no reverse dependencies. - Likely FTBFS: the Debian armhf binaries date from October 2024 (gcc-14). In Ubuntu, a no-change rebuild of the same source with the current toolchain fails on armhf because the package builds for an ARMv7 target without an FPU, which the hard-float toolchain rejects: cc1: error: '-mfloat-abi=hard': selected architecture lacks an FPU ...

--- Begin Message ---We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following package(s) have been removed from unstable: x-loader | 1.5.1+git20110715+fca7cd2-7 | source x-loader-omap3-beagle | 1.5.1+git20110715+fca7cd2-7 | armhf x-loader-omap3-igepv2 | 1.5.1+git20110715+fca7cd2-7 | armhf x-loader-omap3-overo | 1.5.1+git20110715+fca7cd2-7 | armhf x-loader-omap4-panda | 1.5.1+git20110715+fca7cd2-7 | armhf ------------------- Reason ------------------- RoQA, FTBFS, unmaintained, replaced by U-Boot SPL ---------------------------------------------- Note that the package(s) have simply been removed from the tag database and may (or may not) still be in the pool; this is not a bug. The package(s) will be physically removed automatically when no suite references them (and in the case of source, when no binary references it). Please also remember that the changes have been done on the master archive and will not propagate to any mirrors until the next dinstall run at the earliest. Packages are usually not removed from testing by hand. Testing tracks unstable and will automatically remove packages which were removed from unstable when removing them from testing causes no dependency problems. The release team can force a removal from testing if it is really needed, please contact them if this should be the case. We try to close bugs which have been reported against this package automatically. But please check all old bugs, if they were closed correctly or should have been re-assigned to another package. Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed. If you have further comments please address them to [email protected]. The full log for this bug can be viewed at https://bugs.debian.org/1150814 This message was generated automatically; if you believe that there is a problem with it please contact the archive administrators by mailing [email protected].
