 Yes, but amd64 is not an official Debian port yet (and sarge is not
 released for amd64), so it has always been in the lowest priorities.

 Thats true. Sadly we won't support amd64 in sarge, although the port
 matured over the last 9 months and has become pretty stable. The
 argument to not include it 6 months ago was the imminent release of 
 sarge, but this is another story.

The AMD64 support will appear in the upcoming package.

 Hello,

 what is the state of the emacs21 amd64 build patch? 

 may I politely ask why it is still not included in the source package?

The CVS is fixed but differently from what I hacked together.

The maintainer did send a backport patch from CVS but that didn't
compile.

So, this could need another look at the cvs and another try to extract
the right changes for this.

 we have at least 10 packages FTBFS because of this currently, among them
 important packages like auctex and python2.3.

 The bug is open since 260 days now.

 Kind regards

As I recall, the last I saw of this bug, Jérôme and Goswin were going
back and forth trying to determine a correct patch, and I didn't think
they had come up with a conclusive answer, but perhaps they did (I may
well have misunderstood).

Jérôme: so was one of those patches good enough that I should go ahead
and apply it?  (We can test on one of the ia64 machines if we need
to.)

Thanks

The latest one is the good one. BTW, It requires a modification of
configure.in.

I could have applied it a long time ago but sarge was about to
release so I didn't want to apply untested changes. But sarge
is still not released ...

I fully understand how you prioritize your work, and I dont argue
against it. It would even be absolutely legitimate to tag this bug 
wontfix unless pure64 enters sid and becomes a release candidate.

It is just bothersome for the amd64 porting team to always have to patch
emacs21 on every new release. Fortunately you don't release as often as
the zsh-beta package ;-)

Well, I just wanted to ask, since the last activity on this bug is from
some months ago. If you could apply the patch before the next upload,
you would make a lot of people happy ;)

Kind regards
