Hi,
sorry for the late reply and thanks a lot Graham for pinging me
directly. I didn't monitor -devel closely lately, but

I am an active porter for the following architecture and I intend
to continue this for the lifetime of the Bullseye release (est. end
of 2024):

For ppc64el, I
- test most packages on this architecture
- run a Debian testing or unstable system that I use regularly
- fix ppc64el-related bugs, especially by following 
https://udd.debian.org/cgi-bin/ftbfs.cgi
- test d-i on a daily basis with an homegrown automated iso
  (sid netboot/testing netinst/bullseye alphas) installer
  (vm and PowerVM) and moving to OpenQA now.
- fix d-i bugs/issues

I am a DD,

Frédéric Bonnard

yes. I have three arm64 buildds (I did have an arm64 desktop until we
all got sent home - it's now stuck in the office, but I should have an
arm64 laptop from next week...) (thunderx, softiron, Ampere emag). and
an assortment of armhf and armel devices including my home controller
(armel, balloonboard) (odroid, hikey, arndale, cubietruck, qnap). My home
server and mythtv backend was armhf until it croaked last month. An
emergency x86 box has been stuffed in until I work out what's wrong
with it/replace it.

>  * Are you testing/patching d-i for the port(s)?

Yes. Added multiple console support for last release.

The main blocker for that seems to be a bug that was fixed in
gcc-10 10.2.0-20, a new source upload with the gcc-10-source
build dependency bumped to (>= 10.2.0-20~) should fix that.

binNMU won't work due to binary-all.

I looked into it back then, at least for me there was nothing obvious 
why dbus-python failed and not other packages.

A few months earlier one other package had a similar problem,
but it seems rare enough that it shouldn't be a high priority
for anyone.

I know I'm a bit late to the party now...

I do run both arm64 and armhf on numerous machines, mostly as part of
the reproducible builds zoo. We mostly stick to stable for the main OS,
but do run unstable and testing in chroots. I also sometimes run testing
or individual packages from unstable on various other armhf and arm64
machines I use and make efforts to report and ideally fix bugs when
encountered.

I maintain u-boot and arm-trusted-firmware, used primarily on armhf and
arm64. I do occasional debian-installer work and linux related work for
both arm64 and armhf.

I can most likely continue doing the above for the forseeable future.

Not likely to fix deeply complicated toolchain issues.


If all that qualifies for a porter hat, ok, if not, also ok. :)

Please note we don't automatically assume that porters for previous
releases will continue to do so.
If you were a porter for a previous release, we'd like you to sign up
again for bullseye.

Please refer to the architecture requalification page [1] for the
current status.

Porter roll call for Debian Bullseye

2020-11-02 Thread Graham Inggs
Hi

We are doing a roll call for porters of all release architectures.  If
you are an active porter behind one of the release architectures [1]
for the entire lifetime of Debian Bullseye (est. end of 2024), please
respond with a signed email containing the following before Friday,
November 27:

 * Which architectures are you committing to be an active porter for?
 * Please describe recent relevant porter contributions.
 * Are you running/using Debian testing or sid on said port(s)?
 * Are you testing/patching d-i for the port(s)?

Please note that no response is required for amd64 because our
toolchain maintainers are happy to support amd64 as-is.  Also note
that this waiver no longer applies for i386, where it did in previous
releases.

Feel free to use the following template as your reply:

"""
  Hi,
