I have joined Nobuhiro to help supporting the sh4 port. I am currently
working on to reactive the build queue again. Needs-Build on sh4 is
currently over 4000 and I need to build a couple of essential packages
like gcc-4.9, gcc-4.8 and python2.7 manually to be able to resolve
the dependency problems.

gcc-4.9 has been building since Wednesday but it's looking good. I hope
to have the packages uploaded over the weekend.

Cheers,
Adrian

 Please, consider the above commitments rescinded.

Thanks a lot for your work and professional feedback. Sorry to see you
leave Debian and look forward to see you as upstream provider.

Verbatim from a mail to debian-hurd:
 I've been progressively scaling down my involvement in Debian (due to
 continued dissatisfaction with the project), and given that I've not
 been very active maintaining GNU/Hurd packages since the switch of the
 packaging to git (as I find maintaining packaging with full upstream
 sources in the same repo slightly annoying), but mostly because Samuel
 has been doing excellent work anyway so I didn't need to do
 anything :),
 I thought it would be proper to make the records match reality, so I'm
 leaving the team.

 I just removed myself from Uploaders from the gnumach and mig
 packages,
 from the web site [O] and from the debian-hurd and pkg-hurd alioth
 projects, for which I was still admin.
 
   [O] http://www.debian.org/intro/organization
 
 I probably will still be lurking around, and might show up in the
 upstream lists or here from time to time, though.

Amazing that no-one from Debian side have noticed you are phasing
yourself out. Well, maybe other distros can be potential new Debian
replacements. Currently I'm staying, but if something better pops up,
I'll switch faster than light (including kfreebsd and hurd of course)

 At my current job, we are working on fixing mips* bugs including
 possible compiler errors. As an example, I recently run tests to try to
 find tool chain errors for packages that on non-Debian distro were

Re: Results of the porter roll call (Was: Roll call for porters of architectures in sid and testing)

[Sven Luther]

Hi Niels,

I don't know upto what point you are familiar with my history and its link to 
the powerpc
port, but it pains me to see that the powerpc port is left with so few porters, 
and that it 
may mean the port being dropped. I also have not really followed the mailing 
lists since 
a long time, and don't know who is actually managing the powerpc port, but 
giving the (1) and 
0.5 remark, i guess there is not a full porter.

So given that, and provided debian may not see a problem again in me becoming 
active, i may
be interested in becoming active again as powerpc maintainer. Not sure what 
category you 
can include me in though, and what the formalities would be should i become 
active (and welcome)
in debian again.

Also, i am not really sure of the amount of time i will be able to devote to 
debian, and i will
have to take my powerpc hardware out of the storage area i put it in, but i 
guess it should be enough
to do powerpc porting work, provided other folk help me out. That said, i am 
also interested in the
powerpcspe port, as i am (slowly) working on a open-hardware Freescale P1010 
based board.

Anyway, please let me know if there is anything i can do.

Friendly,

Sven Luther

 [2] By the looks of it, if sparc was replaced by sparc64, we could be
 looking at 3 in the Other-column rather than 0.
 
 NMs/DMs include DMs and people currently in NM process.  The Other
 column may include people who said they would like to become porters
 (but would need to be introduced to the job) and thus may imply some
 active recruiting from the current porters.  This is at least true for
 hurd-i386.
 
 
 
 The current policy says that we require 5 developers (i.e. DDs) for
 release architectures[AP], so based on that only amd64, i386 and
 hurd-i386 would pass this requirement.  It is quite possible we need to
 revise that requirement, but most of the architectures would (still) do
 well to attract a few more (DD) porters.
   I have attached a file with my notes of who are behind those numbers.
  If your name is missing or you believe I have miscounted something[CD]
 for an architecture listed in the table above, please reply to this
 email *promptly* (CC'ing me explicitly is fine) with your concerns or

 At this time, I have *not* updated the arch qualification table yet.  I
 will do that in a couple of days.  We will also follow up on this in the

Looking at a recent build log on sparc64 it is obvious the chroots on at
least one of the sparc64 buildds have not even been upgraded to have perl

the old (no longer available) perl!

It might be possible to set up a sparc64 chroot by bootstrapping from
snapshot.d.o at a date a bit before the upload of perl 5.18, and then
upgrading as much of the chroot as possible to as recently as possible
from debian-ports, but even if that is done on a local machine and one
rebuilds the relevant perl packages to get a fully upgradeable chroot
one is still faced with buildds at debian-ports that will build packages
against an obsolete perl.

So I would suggest locating the buildd admins.  The following lists a
useful email address for that purpose:
http://www.debian-ports.org/contacts

Cheers
Michael

Results of the porter roll call (Was: Roll call for porters of architectures in sid and testing)

Hi,

The final results are in:

Summary table:

sparc[2]   ||  1  ||   0 || 0 ||1

[1] The (1) and .5 is from a I am not primarily a porter [...]-remark,
so I wasn't sure how to count it.

[2] By the looks of it, if sparc was replaced by sparc64, we could be
looking at 3 in the Other-column rather than 0.

NMs/DMs include DMs and people currently in NM process.  The Other
column may include people who said they would like to become porters
(but would need to be introduced to the job) and thus may imply some
active recruiting from the current porters.  This is at least true for
hurd-i386.



The current policy says that we require 5 developers (i.e. DDs) for
release architectures[AP], so based on that only amd64, i386 and
hurd-i386 would pass this requirement.  It is quite possible we need to
revise that requirement, but most of the architectures would (still) do
well to attract a few more (DD) porters.
  I have attached a file with my notes of who are behind those numbers.
 If your name is missing or you believe I have miscounted something[CD]
for an architecture listed in the table above, please reply to this
email *promptly* (CC'ing me explicitly is fine) with your concerns or
corrections.

At this time, I have *not* updated the arch qualification table yet.  I
will do that in a couple of days.  We will also follow up on this in the
next bits from the release team.

Today we had Jon Ward (Aardvark) (non-DD) from ARM Ltd show up on the
#debian-arm IRC channel. He is still getting up to speed but plans to
work on armhf stuff.

I'm guessing we may get more people from ARM, IBM/open-power.org and
other hardware industry organisations showing up over time.

Well, count me in for sparc64 in general, too. I expect, too, that's
where we're heading to anyway, and I don't expect too many
differences. I though fear that we're not yet there:

Yesterday I tried to setup a sparc64 chroot on a second disc in one of
my Sparcs, but the currently documented way[1] to do so failed[2] due
to outdated packages. On a first glance it looks like missing BinNMUs
for the Perl 5.14 to Perl 5.18 transition.

[1] https://wiki.debian.org/Sparc64#Bootstrapping_sparc64
[2] https://lists.debian.org/debian-sparc/2013/10/msg1.html

OTOH such issues were present in the past[3] of sparc64, too, back
then with the transition from Perl 5.10 to Perl 5.12.

I was just about to pipe up here. I have to state for the record that I will
not be working on Debian stuff as an ARM employee, but in my own time.

But yes, I have the keen to start contributing to armhf. I have been a Debian   
user (and occaisionally sysadmin) since 1995.

On a related note, I idly wonder whether anyone is interested
in an official ARMv6 hf port. The rpi community is massive.
To be clear I'm not volunteering to be involved, merely curious.

Are you aware of any other hardware that would benefit from such 
architecture?

The info at https://wiki.debian.org/RaspberryPi#Raspberry_Pi_issues

No. Stuff using armhf now could run a v6+hf port, and I think it's a
shame we baselined on v7 for this reason, but that decision has passed.
Raspbian seems to be fine, I kind-of think it's a shame that Debian
doesn't have the exposure and mindshare it would have had if it was
the blessed port for rPi itself… but like I said, I'm not going to be
working on it either way.

Last I checked I don't have the source for the microcode for my Intel
amd64 CPU, either.

I don't disagree (although I think the bottom-most bullet point is
superfluous.)

Hello, all.

I am not currently a porter but I would like to be one for the s390x
architecture.


I am familiar with zSeries system programming and have a lot of
experience in running Linux in virtual environments, mostly z/VM on
large IBM processors..  I use Linux for 11 year, family with cross
compiling tool chain.

I am not a DD/DM. and I am somewhat surprised not to see Philiip Kern

I'm interesting in helping on ia64. I'm not fluent in ia64 assembly, but I
can get around pretty well. I'm very experienced in C/C++/Java and
debugging. I've got a fully functional system running Xorg/Mesa3D/sound, so
I can reproduce, test, and fix issues as time permits.

 [1] The (1) and .5 is from a I am not primarily a porter [...]-remark,
 so I wasn't sure how to count it.

 [2] By the looks of it, if sparc was replaced by sparc64, we could be
 looking at 3 in the Other-column rather than 0.

 NMs/DMs include DMs and people currently in NM process.  The Other
 column may include people who said they would like to become porters
 (but would need to be introduced to the job) and thus may imply some
 active recruiting from the current porters.  This is at least true for
 hurd-i386.



 The current policy says that we require 5 developers (i.e. DDs) for
 release architectures[AP], so based on that only amd64, i386 and
 hurd-i386 would pass this requirement.  It is quite possible we need to
 revise that requirement, but most of the architectures would (still) do
 well to attract a few more (DD) porters.
   I have attached a file with my notes of who are behind those numbers.
  If your name is missing or you believe I have miscounted something[CD]
 for an architecture listed in the table above, please reply to this
 email *promptly* (CC'ing me explicitly is fine) with your concerns or
 corrections.

 At this time, I have *not* updated the arch qualification table yet.  I
 will do that in a couple of days.  We will also follow up on this in the
 next bits from the release team.

 affected my ability to do addic^Htion or parsing your email(s) properly.

Re: Roll call for porters of architectures in sid and testing (Status update)

[Steven Chamberlain]

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,

I am not currently a porter but I would like to be one for the Hurd.

I do some test on QEMU and public Hurd host.

I am familiar with system programming and have some embedded and printer
driver development experience.  I use Linux for 11 year, family with cross
compiling tool chain.

I never contributed to Debian before, I read Debian developer guide and GNU
maintainer guide recently.

I want to focus on system usable issue like GUI  or driver issue and back
to Hurd itself if needed. I also wan't to make system clear for new comer.

I am not a DD/DM

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.

- 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).
I have plans to do some debian on them, in my limited free time.

Re: Roll call for porters of architectures in sid and testing (Status update)

[Michael Cree]

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.

Cheers
Michael.

Hi all,

Here is a little status update on the mails we have received so far.
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

Re: Roll call for porters of architectures in sid and testing

[Thomas Schwinge]

Hi!

I'm not a DD or DM, but an upstream contributor and maintainer for the
toolchain, both for different things at work, and in my free time for the
Hurd.  I have no plans to stop this, so this will cover the jessie
lifetime.  As time permits, I also work on the Hurd itself, and advise
contributors in porting issues as well as work on porting issues myself.

Using your template: For Hurd, I fix toolchain issues, and to a lesser
degree triage arch-specific bugs and fix arch-related bugs.


Grüße,
 Thomas

I'm particularly keen to see communication packages working on as many
architectures as possible because otherwise two-way communications
opportunities are missed if some users are excluded.

In short, I'm not formally volunteering, but if people have trouble
with any VoIP or communications packages on any of the ports, please
hassle me, I'll try to help.

I'm also very happy to accept feedback and patches from porters when
wearing my upstream developer hat, so if people have trouble with any
of my packages on ports, please contact me.

Regards,

Daniel

everything after 2.8 breaks certain builds.
  - currently own a Sun Blade 2500, a Netra X1, and a SunFire T2000
  - help port random projects to Sparc64

  For Alpha, I
  - test basic functionality of Xorg and XFCE
  - port random projects to Alpha

Re: Roll call for porters of architectures in sid and testing

[Christoph Egger]

Hi,

I am an active porter for the following architectures and I intend
to continue this for the lifetime of the jessie release:

For kfreebsd-*, I
- test packages on this architecture

This includes running a Desktop (Notebook) System on testing and am
therefore testing the relevant stack every day

- triage arch-specific bugs

I've been working on regressions for some time and plan to continue
there (in the past I've worked e.g. on libxcb, emacs and the kernel
+ lots of build failures)

- fix arch-related bugs
- maintain buildds

I am a DD
