Re: Roll call for porters of architectures in sid and testing (Status update)
Hi, Nothing motivates like a deadline... I am an active porter for the following architectures and I intend to continue this for the lifetime of the jessie release: For kfreebsd-amd64 and kfreebsd-i386, I - test many packages on this architecture - triage arch-specific bugs - fix arch-related bugs - keep an eye on buildds - stay current with debian-bsd@lists.d.o - help with wheezy security support for arch-specific packages Furthermore I run kfreebsd-amd64 on a development machine, and on a number of production servers. I use kfreebsd-i386 on some embedded systems in a production environment. I am not a DD/DM, but maybe someday... Thanks!

Hi, b...@decadent.org.uk said: I've also provided a couple of kernel patches in the past. I'm cross testing with Gentoo to ensure that bugs I report are Debian-specific or ia64-generic. I'll continue testing/software development activity on ia64 for the Jessie cycle, and more generally, until Debian drops ia64. I'm already waiting for Wayland on ia64 and other big updates. So please, keep ia64 in the bandwagon ;-) But I don't think ia64 is well-supported even in wheezy. The kernel doesn't boot on some common machines and no-one seems to be able to fix it. I'm the most recent person to report that bug. Unfortunately I run a sole ia64 box in a production setting and I only have physical access to it during business hours (and no management card) which makes experimenting with kernels difficult. I would be more than happy to sign up as a porter for ia64 however I would need to obtain more hardware. HP rx1620s can be had on eBay for $100 but they are located in California and shipping + customs to Slovakia is not worth it :-/ If someone is willing to donate hardware, or knows of a cheap source of ia64 hardware in Europe I'm more than happy to host it here, maintain it, provide access to developers, and time permitting test and and help diagnose ia64-specific problems with the base system for the lifetime of the jessie release. I am also a long-time Debian user (10 years, mostly x86/amd64, alpha in the past, some arm work and ia64 from the time I've had this hardware). I am not a DD/DM but have experience as a package maintainer via sponsorship in the past. Martin signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Hi, I'm a long-time ia64 Debian user ( 10 years). I'm mostly focused on desktop aspects (GNOME, Iceweasel, LibreOffice, Qt Creator, C++ 3D software development) while most other ia64 users that I know are more inclined on server use. I'm not a DD/DM, but daily update my ia64 workstation, report bugs and do my best to provide useful information in order to get them fixed. I've also provided a couple of kernel patches in the past.

Hi, I am an active tester (not always porter) for the following architectures and I intend to continue this for the lifetime of the jessie release: i386, amd64, armel - test most base packages on this architecture (every day tasks) - test arch-related things - test lots of ipv6 related issues sparc, powerpc - test base packages on this architecture (not every day) I also own SGI Indy (mips*), HP (hppa) and have access to HP Itanium (ia64).

Re: Roll call for porters of architectures in sid and testing (Status update)
FWIW, I am a porter of the Alpha architecture in the following ways: - run a buildd - kernel support - work with upstreams for toolchain support - general porting work including filing bugs and patches I doubt if I will continue that for the life cycle of Jessie given that many of the former faithful seem to be deserting alpha and I don't fancy being the last one left to turn off the lights. But possibly of interest is that I seem to be finding myself using arm based hardware more and more and I anticipate that I might soon be doing arm porting work. Whether that is for all or just a subset of arm ports is yet to be seen. I am subscribed to the debian-alpha and debian-arm mail lists. I am not a DD.

I have not been involved before in the porting effort but may be interested if there is a need. I have a few alpha platforms and ia64.

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.

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 ~Niels [1] Restrictions may apply. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
