So this issue isn't release critical anymore now that 32-bit big endian architectures work (starting from 0.020-2). Cloning a separate bug for the 64-bit part and closing the RC one. No need to 'drop a target architecture' AIUI: no old binaries need to be removed and 64-bit BE autobuilders can keep trying until the issue is fixed. -- Niko Tyni nt...@debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
