NMU candidate. [10] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=786995 ## lierolibre Sent a patch, bug #790363 [11]. NMU candidate. [11] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=790363 ## cde It seems upstream doesn't support other arches apart of amd64/i386. There has been some conversation regarding this at bug #668121 [12]. No commits happened upstream since early 2013, dead upstream? Anyway, I reproduced the issue locally and I'm evaluating a fix. The package seems in very bad shape :-( Contacted upstream. Anibal suggest looking at other distros: I did it with no results. [12] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=668121 ## moarvm Maintainer uploaded moarvm without mipsel support [13]. Later, upstream added support for libffi which should make moarvm build on mipsel. We keep working at bug #789187 [14] (even if already closed). [13] https://tracker.debian.org/news/691954 [14] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=789187 ## nlc I keep working on this package. I recently opened bug #789817 [15]. This package is huge and complex, my work here is slow. [15] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=789817 ## node-raptor No news this week for this package from previous report. I asked upstream [16][17] for help, but no answer so far. [16] https://github.com/0xfeedface/node_raptor/issues/15 [17] https://github.com/TooTallNate/node-gyp/issues/646 ## capnproto Looking at buildd, it seems code builds OK, but the embedded tests-suite fails. A related bug is already opened: #781443 [18]. I was unable to reproduce the issue locally in my ci20. The package builds fine here. So, more investigation is required. [18] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=781443 ## sdrangelove I've contacted upstream and I'm working towards a fix, have a temptative patch which leads to another error. ## memtailor buildd says: Some symbols or patterns disappeared in the symbols file. There is a related bug report: #788245 [20]. However, I was unable to reproduce the issue locally. The package builds fine here. So, more investigation is required.
