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

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

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
