status of s390 toolchain maintenance
Hi, yesterday Aurelian Jarno did switch the GCC default to 4.8 in the VCS. However I don't see him in the Debian GCC maintainer list as GCC port maintainer. In the past I only did see s390 contributions and s390 related bug triage from Bastian Blank. Is this change coordinated with Bastian? Please could both of you add the relevant information to the README.Debian (or send me patch), if you are actively involved in GCC maintenance on s390(x)? Also I note that the list of s390 porters on [1] talks in the past tense. Please could you update this list to the list of *current* s390 porters? Plus there is no ports page for s390x at all. I think it would be worthwhile to document who cares about the s390x port, or point to the s390 page if that is the right thing to do.

I have therefore reverted the changes in the SVN. That said I think s390/s390x should not lag too long behind other architectures, as it usually create subtle bugs, and it's better to discover (and fix) toolchain issues early in a release cycle than late. -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 1024D/F1BCDB73 aurel...@aurel32.net http://www.aurel32.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-s390-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Aurelien did a lot to bootstrap s390x and is also working on the port both wrt buildd maintenance and debugging. He is listed on [1], too. But obviously that does not imply GCC maintainance for s390*. And indeed, we should've copied Bastian on this. I apologize.

He is listed on [1], too. So this does not address s390. The table at [1] is not suitable for jessie. So lets assume that these ports are unmaintained now. I asked several times to start with the architecture re-qualification early this release cycle, but didn't get any replies. > But obviously that does not imply GCC maintainance for s390*. > And indeed, we should've copied Bastian on this. I apologize. So, until now I didn't see any s390 toolchain maintenance from all three of you. Bastian occasionally does some bug triage, Aurelien does help with mipsel, didn't see anything from Philipp. So from my point of view the toolchain for s390/jessie is unmaintained. Please tell me something else, but please tell as well how to achieve this. Feel free to make 4.8 the default for s390, but it is still lacking maintenance.
