Hi, there are some issues in the hppa port that currently let us doubt whether we should continue to carry on that port to next stable. Apart the fact that hppa is no longer buyable as new, there are quite a few technical issues.
You know your porters mailing list best, but I want to highlight some of the issues: http://lists.debian.org/debian-hppa/2009/07/msg00002.html http://lists.debian.org/debian-hppa/2009/07/msg00050.html http://lists.debian.org/debian-hppa/2009/07/msg00053.html As from release team point of view, it is necessary that there is a plan how hppa can and will return in the forseeable future to normal mode of operation, i.e. there are not many issues with e.g. architecture specific build failures. I'd welcome your feedback with a list of open current issues and how and when they will be resolved. It would be good to have that feedback before end of August to avoid the necessity to treat the hppa port as broken in regard to our testing migration scripts.
