Those are expected. The reason is that there's no bootstrap binaries
for mips{64,}el because upstream dropped their tier level and no
longer provides them. So we'll have to drop (or keep an outdated)
firefox/chromium binary. Note that for mipsel, this doesn't matter
much, as llvm-16 isn't available either,
and there are no firefox-esr/chromium/thunderbird builds there.
Thanks for the background.
Technically there /are/ firefox-esr builds on mipsel in bullseye, but
they're really old:
firefox-esr | 78.15.0esr-1~deb11u1 | oldstable |
source, mipsel
chromium doesn't build for mips* in any case, and bullseye-LTS won't
support mips*el. So the practical effect AFAICT is that we lose the
ability to build firefox-esr and thunderbird on mips64el for bookworm.
I /assume/ that isn't particularly an issue.
It's an issue for mips64el firefox/thunderbird users (if any), but it shouldn't
block us because the status quo will be in a similar situation (unsupported
ff/tb versions). However it's not something I can solve (at least not with
reasonable effort). But if a mips porter wants to provide a bootstrap tarball I
could include it to get rustc-web built there.
Cheers,
Emilio
