This is worth revisiting. Is upstream stable enough for a buildd? I don't know since I'm not aware of any attempts to run a buildd with those kernels. Neither do we, we're not HPPA porters :) We did go through this before with newer kernels, and it didn't help FWIW. Is the answer to that question still germane? Ish. We still have the issue that you can't actually buy HPPAs any more, and various bits and pieces from the Arch Requalification list. [change of order by me below] Also, I'd like to ask HPPA debs be kept in testing staging area, just never promoted when the release is cut. This will let people continue using HPPA without having to suffer with the !hppa breakage that lives in unstable. (that's all I personally care about - I don't care about stable releases.) This is one of the major problems for the port. Testing exists to create the next stable release.

HPPA and Squeeze
Hi, As mentioned previously[0], the release team haven't been happy with the state of the HPPA port in Debian. After the release team meeting[1], it has been decided that unfortunatly HPPA will not be supported for Squeeze. This was after careful consideration, and wasn't an easy decision. This means that ftpmasters will be asked to remove HPPA from testing and unstable from the 30th June. It is suggested that HPPA porters may wish to consider using debian-ports.org if they wish to continue with the port. Regards, Neil McGovern [0] http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2009/04/msg00299.html [1] http://lists.debian.org/debian-project/2009/05/msg00080.html -- MadCoder and right now I'm wearing a tutu and am doing dance steps Maulkin I'm scared by the French cabal in tutus.

Amendment: Enhance requirements for General resolutions
Hi, Thanks for bringing this GR. I'd like to propose an amendment: AMENDMENT START General Resolutions are an important framework within the Debian Project. Yet, in a project the size of Debian, the current requirements to initiate one are too small. Therefore the Debian project resolves that a) The constitution gets changed to not require K developers to sponsor a resolution, but floor(Q). [see §4.2(1)] b) Delaying a decision of a Delegate or the DPL [§4.2(2.2)], as well as resolutions against a shortening of discussion/voting period or to overwrite a TC decision [§4.2(2.3)] requires floor(2Q) developers to sponsor the resolution. c) the definition of K gets erased from the constitution. [§4.2(7)] (Numbers in brackets are references to sections in the constitution). AMENDMENT END Rationale: This is basically s/K/Q/. It keeps the 'immediate override delegate decision' as twice as hard as proposing a GR.

Website updates for Lenny
Hi Debian boot! To try and get the website ready in time for release, it would be great if the boot section of the website could be updated. I can create the patches to the webwml if you need me to, but it would be really good if you could go over http://www.debian.org/releases/etch/debian-installer/ and tell me what's out of date, and what needs updating. I also need some text for the press release, have a look at http://www.debian.org/News/2007/20070408 Thanks!
