Woops, I sent the mail before I had finished it, I continue from where I stopped. Setup communication channels for the architecture, such as a mailing list and IRC channel. https://www.debian.org/MailingLists/HOWTO_start_list https://wiki.debian.org/IRC#How_to_create_a_new_.23debian-.2A_channel Add your architecture to the bugs arch usertags page: https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Debbugs/ArchitectureTags Continue building as many packages as you can using the new build-essential packages.
