Re: No port maintainers?

[Thomas Evans]

I would like to help as well, but I'm not super experienced with the 
Debian way of doing things.


I am a decent developer, but I found attempting to get libc fixed for 
Alpha to be just simply traumatic.


Could someone tell me offline what would be involved?  I have a few 
Alpha systems here that I could use or even loan/give to people that 
want to be a port maintainer.

I'd love to help, but unfortunately I'm unusually short of time the last
year or so, and additionally I can't really use my alpha (XLT) for much
experimentation as it's my firewall system.

I'd hate support for Alpha disappear though... always feel free to ask
if I can help, e.g. some simple testing, although I can't promise I will
be able to.

I've created http://wiki.debian.org/alphaLennyReleaseRecertification  
from the template. Sections that needs work include:


Developer machines
Autobuilders


I've updated those two a bit with the information about the two Debian  
AlphaServers hosted by Sanger.  The porter machine has been waiting  
for the DSA to set it up for almost a year.  Please, Alpha  
maintainers, if you want access to this box, press the DSA's to bump  
it up their priority list a little.  If it doesn't happen soon, the  
project *will* lose the machine because I won't be able to justify it  
to the head of IT here.
