Currently each has only 3 porters listed: * Riku Voipio, Wookey, Colin Tuckley * Steve McIntyre, Julian Andres Klode, Hector Oron These clearly have overlap, plus there are other people including (OTTOMH, probably forgetting more!): * Konstantinos Margaritis * Adam Conrad * Martin Michlmayr * Vincent Sanders ARM in general is very well supported upstream, both in terms of kernel and toolchain, by a lot of different companies and individual developers. Several of the Debian porters are employed by ARM and other companies in the ecosystem In terms of raw buildd CPU right now, I think we're doing OK, but memory is more of a limiting factor with bigger C++ builds. I belive current status is acceptable and we're keeping up with unstable without any issues. We are expecting newer faster hardware in the next year (imx6, Calxeda Highbank) which will work for both the armel and armhf ports. These will be substantially faster than existing machines, and will also support more memory. I believe both ports are clearly ready for release with Wheezy. -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. st...@einval.com < liw> everything I know about UK hotels I learned from "Fawlty Towers" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-arm-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
