The debian-port arm64 rebootstrap is progressing nicely, and we just passed 4200 source packages built, with another few hundred pending. There are now 2 buildds running.
In the course of that 344 have failed to build, (see http://buildd.debian-ports.org/status/architecture.php?a=arm64&suite=sid ,'Build attempted' section) many for trivial reasons like 'needs autoconf update'. I need to concentrate on core stuff like openjdk, swig, kdelibs which are blocking big swaths of packages, so I haven't got time right now to wade through all those seeing what went wrong. Thus I'd love it if anyone else could help go through the failures pile and file bugs, or upload old existing ones, or classify them on the wiki. Or if they happen to be your packages then just fix them :-) I've put some links on the wiki page https://wiki.debian.org/Arm64Port#Bug_tracking to the ubuntu and fedora bug lists which will be helpful is there is an actual meaningful issue to fix (one of them is likely to have done it already if it's a mainstream package). Also if anyone has expertise in language porting we'd like to hear from you. Below is the list of languages we believe still need porting to arm64: Anyone who is interested in doing this work, or just has some idea of how much work is involved, do please pipe up (I don't know if each of these is 6 months or 6 minutes). There is a porter box available. GHCi (ghc is done, but not ghci - is this hard?) Go (we have gccgo, but not gcgo) Mono GCL CLISP Gauche Pascal Rust (being investigated) Erlang R D SBCL Julia Wookey -- Principal hats: Linaro, Emdebian, Wookware, Balloonboard, ARM http://wookware.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-arm-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
