 Hi,
 
 As we announced in [LAST-BITS], we would like to get a better idea of
 that status of the ports, to make an informed decision about which
 port can be released with jessie. One of the steps is to get an
 overview of which of the porters are (still) active for each
 port. Once the results from the role-call are in, we will request
 other information about the status of the ports. In the meantime, feel
 free to update and collect info about the ports in the Debian wiki[WIKI].
 
 If you are (or intend to become) an active porter for the lifetime of
 jessie, then please send a signed email explaining your involvement in
 the port to the Release Team debian-rele...@lists.debian.org before
 1st of October 2013. Please explain the level of your involvement in
 the port.
 
 Feel free to use the following template as your reply:

Hi all,

Here is a little status update on the mails we have received so far.
First off, thanks to all the porters who have already replied!

So far, the *no one* has stepped up to back the following architectures:

   hurd-i386
   ia64
   mips
   mipsel
   s390x

I have pinged some people and #d-hurd, so this will hopefully be amended
soon.  Remember that the *deadline is 1st of October*.

In the list above, I excluded:

  amd64 and i386: requirement for porters is waived
  s390: Being removed from testing during the Jessie cycle
(Agreement made during the Wheezy release cycle)

The following table shows the porters for each architecture in
*unstable* that I have data on so far:

armel: Wookey (DD)
armhf: Jeremiah Foster (!DD, but NM?), Wookey (DD)
kfreebsd-amd64: Christoph Egger (DD), Axel Beckert (DD),
   Petr Salinger (!DD), Robert Millan (DD)
kfreebsd-i386: Christoph Egger (DD), Axel Beckert (DD),
   Petr Salinger (!DD), Robert Millan (DD)
powerpc: Geoff Levand (!DD), Roger Leigh (DD)
sparc: Axel Beckert (DD), Rainer Herbst (!DD)


If you are missing from this list above, then I have missed your email.
 Please follow up to this mail with a message-ID (or resend it,
whichever you prefer).

We also got a number of people interested in architectures not currently
in unstable.  These are:

  alpha: Bill MacAllister (!DD), Kieron Gillespie (!DD)
  arm64: Wookey (DD)
  parisc/hppa: Helge Deller (!DD)
  ppc64: Steven Gawroriski (!DD)
  sparc64: Steven Gawroriski (!DD), Kieron Gillespie (!DD)

This will hopefully teach me to remember to include the in unstable
restriction to the next roll call.  :)  Anyhow, if you are working on
these architectures on debian-ports and saw a new name in the list
above, this might be an opportunity to recruit new people.


We also received a couple of emails from people who are not or did not
want to be porters at the moment.  However, they expressed an interest
in the architectures:

  David Kuehling: mipsel
- debug arch-related issues
  Meelis Roos: ppc, sparc64 (parisc)
- test and report bugs in upstream kernel
  Peter Green: armhf (possibly any-arm)
- works on raspbian


In the template email included in the roll call, we included some tasks
that people might be doing.  These are the task people have said they
are doing for a given port.

  * test packages: armhf, kfreebsd-amd64 (x4), kfreebsd-i386 (x4),
 powerpc, sparc (x2)
  * fix toolchain issues: armhf, powerpc
  * triage arch-specific bugs: armhf, kfreebsd-amd64 (x3),
 kfreebsd-i386 (x3), powerpc, sparc (x2)
  * fix arch-related bugs: armhf, kfreebsd-amd64 (x3),
  kfreebsd-i386 (x3), powerpc
  * maintain buildds: armhf, kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386

NB: I have manually translated some prose-text into the items above, so
something might have been lost (or gained) in that translation.

Some of the porters also added some new items.  I have included some of
these items below:

  + test d-i when needed: powerpc (x2)
  + maintain arch-related pkgs: kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386
  + maintain non-DSA porter box: kfreebsd-amd64
  + maintain production system of $arch: sparc/stable
  + can offer hardware access[1]: sparc (Axel Beckert)
  + eglibc issues: kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386
  + maintain+test cross-toolchains for $arch: armel, armhf

Re: Roll call for porters of architectures in sid and testing

2013-09-19 Thread Thomas Schwinge
Hi!

I'm not a DD or DM, but an upstream contributor and maintainer for the
toolchain, both for different things at work, and in my free time for the
Hurd.  I have no plans to stop this, so this will cover the jessie
lifetime.  As time permits, I also work on the Hurd itself, and advise
contributors in porting issues as well as work on porting issues myself.

Using your template: For Hurd, I fix toolchain issues, and to a lesser
degree triage arch-specific bugs and fix arch-related bugs.


Grüße,
 Thomas

Re: Roll call for porters of architectures in sid and testing

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA256




I'm particularly keen to see communication packages working on as many
architectures as possible because otherwise two-way communications
opportunities are missed if some users are excluded.

In short, I'm not formally volunteering, but if people have trouble
with any VoIP or communications packages on any of the ports, please
hassle me, I'll try to help.

I'm also very happy to accept feedback and patches from porters when
wearing my upstream developer hat, so if people have trouble with any
of my packages on ports, please contact me.

Regards,

Daniel
