Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

Hi,

Mtail has never worked on mips64el, because inotify support is broken (still
not sure where the root problem lies). It was compiled successfully once, but
due to a mistake in debian/rules that meant not all tests were run.

I was able to work-around this for prometheus, but the code in mtail is too
complex for my limited golang abilities.

There is a bug[1] open in the fsnotify library, but the project is
semi-abandoned.

So, for now I would like to request the removal of mtail from this
architecture, so it can finally migrate to testing.

PS: I also requested[2] mtail upstream to try to address this.

Thanks.
