GCC (present in 7.x) and binutils (2.28 onwards, actually before that
in Debian due to backported patches to 2.27) have been upstreamed,
glibc and Linux (among others) are missing.
Do you still prefer to wait until all bits are upstreamed? Aurelient
Jarno told me several times that it would be important to be have
support in stable releases, otherwise people like DSA are a bit more
reluctant (or gives them more work) to install from backports or
similar, for the bits of infrastructure which need support.
Yeah I'd like to wait, otherwise there is no guarantee the ABI is
properly defined. Regarding stable, as I think I've mentioned in the
past, adding arches within dpkg stable updates is standard practice
precisely due to the reasons you give. So I'm happy to do that one
the upstreaming is completed.
Can we have this now, and a backport to stretch?
Only glibc is missing, but patches have been already submitted and some
acked, and 2.27 will be released in February in principle... and I
assume that you will need a few days/weeks for that.
Aurelien cannot upload glibc with the arch enabled because dak will
reject it if dpkg doesn't know about it.
Cheers.
