The focus of this distribution is fixing systemd caused regression, not porting. And reviving the arch would require a lot of effort: Sparc is dead. Oracle killed its hardware in 2016-17, and was mostly hostile to Linux development for it (and Solaris is now dead, too). The kernel maintainer did the last commit in Nov 2018, any newer stuff is someone doing drive-by work to avoid blockers to an unrelated arch-indep change, same as happens with other dead archs. It might be tempting to do that effort to allow some hardware not go to waste, but human time is expensive, hardware cheap -- thus I'd recommend migrating to a supported arch sooner.

[DNG] buster to beowulf
I have a buster installation sitting around on my hard drive in dual boot with beowulf. I was planning to delete the buster, but I understand we still want to test crossgrading from buster to beowulf. So... What is the current recommended way to crossgrade from buster to beowulf (so I can test it properly) And what logging would be useful to do while I do this? In particular, is there any useful way to get a log during reboot to the new system? -- hendrik ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
