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
