I'm curious how the GPG bit works given that there is no guarantee that the signature can be validated at any other point in time than ingestion on ftp-master - especially considering the rotation/expiry of subkeys and buildd keys. In this case the files already come from a trusted source and should be ingested as-is, I guess? (Not that I particularly like the fact that it's only a point in time validation.) Kind regards Philipp Kern

At the openmainframeproject EU meetup, it was indicated that SUSE joined with indication that Open Build Service might be able to use resources hosted by Marist. I wonder if it makes sense to reach out, and see if there are resources available to use as porter boxes & build boxes. That way Debian might be able to get such donated resource available on ongoing basis and hopefully with some hw support. Debian already makes use of Marist's resources. The challenge was/is to get redundancy as DSA very sensibly insists on. Kind regards Philipp Kern

I mean in theory sometimes they turn up on eBay and people try to make them work[1]. It also seems true for other ports where we commonly relied on sponsors to hand us replacements. But maybe it's only ppc64el these days, maybe there are useful builds available for the others (including arm64 and mips) on the market now.

(For reference, there is no mipsel machine which has hardware bugs affecting daily operations. There are two mips machines which are pre-series and are not as stable as I wish, but as builddadm I was more occupied recently with arm* machines not stable then with mips machines not stable. This all doesn't mean I think nothing should be changed, but please do not FUD against mips* (or any other architecture).) builddadm does not keep the machines running, DSA does. ball is ancient, corelli and gabrielli are unstable under load and lucatelli does need occasional reboots too, IIRC. But mips and mipsel might not actually be the same bucket you'd want to use, that seems to be the key takeaway here. Kind regards Philipp Kern signature.asc Description: Digital signature
Re: Qt5 switching qreal from float to double on arm*

Yes, I know many of you will think of this as **ugly**, but so far means 3 binNMUs per arch. Now if this is not acceptable, then no change will be made, because I won't change Qt5's SONAME. What is your plan to support partial upgrades? BinNMUs can require new Qt versions to be installed, but Qt can be upgraded independently to the newer version, causing the rdepends to crash. This can potentially be solved by Breaks, but it still breaks assumptions of people using Debian in that such ABI breaks will be communicated through SONAME bumps. And the old lib will not even be coinstallable. (Of course a good time to do such changes are in fact SONAME bumps, but I realize that this won't happen for Qt for quite some time.)

Fwd: mips uses cramfs
Hi, I think the attached mail should go here, not to boot. Kind regards Philipp Kern ---BeginMessage--- Hi folks The mips (not mipsel) images still uses cramfs. I intend to remove this support from the kernel. All other linux arches uses initramfs. If no one cries, I will change d-i as well, however I will not be able to actually check it.

Meeting Minutes for the IRC Release Team Meeting on August 23, 2010
Hi there, those are the minutes of Monday's IRC meeting at #debian-release. 1) What will be the release architectures for squeeze? - sparc will be kept as a release architecture for now. The gcc code generation code which moved to v9/32bit has taken place in Nov 2009. There will be rebuilds of all packages that haven't been rebuilt since. The exact details of this still need to be sketched out. [assignee: pkern] - mips*: #519006 is hurting us badly. GCC upstream was pinged, Loongson and Codesourcery will be contacted about a backport to gcc-4.4 if there's no answer. [assignee: aurel32] - mips: a possible toolchain issue popped up on openjdk-6, which needs investigation [assignee: aurel32] - mipsel: another Loongson machine will be shipped to aba for use as a porter box [assignees: zobel, aba] - hppa: HPPA will be dropped as a release architecture for squeeze. Details on a possible squeeze-hppa release need to be discussed with the hppa porters. [assignee: ?] - kfreebsd-*: We consider a released kfreebsd-* package set as a technology preview, that might not be up to the full Debian standards. We will try to keep it in the same infrastructure set (i.e. as normal architectures) for squeeze, but this can be reviewed later. 2) Which transitions are left for squeeze? What's their current state? - gnustep: RC bug on hppa, fix pending upload. Looks good otherwise. - opencv: one FTBFS on hppa - ace: FTBFS on armel and kfreebsd, not a blocker - php: No transition removing deprecated features. - mono: mail to debian-release@ to be sent [assignee: meebey] - apt: transition can be started in unstable [assignee: mvo] - xapian: ditto [assignee: olly] 3) Release Team meeting 2-3 October in Paris: Who's going? - Negotiations about times, crashing space and travel sponsorship need to be done with zack. [assignee: faw] - mehdi, jcristau, luk, adsb, aba and pkern can probably make it; HE: unsure; faw: relying on the availabilty of overseas travel sponsorship, if not possible following remotely - Maulkin cannot make it. 4) What's the state of the Release Notes? - timeline: 4 weeks to get them ready, 2 weeks of string freeze, 1 week of fixes and final week for translations (i.e. 2 months) [assignee: faw] - upgrade-reports to be prepared and solicited [assignee: vorlon] 5) Any other business? - This item was not called as the time budget was exceeded. A full log is available on [1] (text-only version on [2]). Action and info items are also available as extracted bits on [3].
