Currently, the port has 2 buildds running, and over 4200 packages built. The ARM64 porters are asking for help and volunteers to assist with over 300 packages that need small trivial updates. They also need assistance with bug filing, <a href="https://wiki.debian.org/Arm64Port";>wiki</a> updates, and programming language porting. </p> <toc-add-entry name="dose">edos.debian.net back as qa.debian.org/dose</toc-add-entry> <p> Ralf Treinen <a href="https://lists.debian.org/20140522201040.ga4...@free.fr";>announced</a>. that the analysis of not-installable packages due to dependency issues done since 2006 under the name <tt>edos.debian.net</tt> is back on a Debian project machine as <tt>qa.debian.org/dose</tt>. It comes with some enhancement: the use of <a href= http://dose.gforge.inria.fr/doc/tools/debcheck-primer.html";> dose-debcheck</a>, a multiarch-aware tool, improved explanations of non-installability, and a classification according to the duration of non-installability since April 5, 2014. </p> <toc-add-entry name="hurd">Bits from the Debian GNU/Hurd porters</toc-add-entry> <p> Michael Banck sent some <a href="https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2014/05/msg00006.html";>bits of the Debian GNU/Hurd porters</a>, retracing the evolution of the GNU/Hurd port during the last two years. Since their <a href="https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2012/02/msg00002.html";>last message</a>, they have been working on several fronts: Last year, whereas Debian <q>Wheezy</q> does not provide an official Hurd port, they released a <q>Wheezy-like</q> version of <a href="http://ftp.debian-ports.org/debian-cd/hurd-i386/current/";>Debian GNU/Hurd sid</a> distribution, as qemu and Debian Installer images. On the archive covering front, now more than 80% of the packages available in the archive succesfully build for hurd-i386. The stability and uptime of the hurd autobuilder has been improved, and the up-to-date package count for wanna-build statistics recently reached 98%. As the result of last year's GSoC work by Justus Winter, the init system has been switched to SysVinit. This goes together with numerous advances in the upstream GNU/Hurd and GNU/Mach projects. </p> <toc-add-entry name="other">Other news</toc-add-entry> <p> Alexander Wirt <a href="http://blog.snow-crash.org/some-new-lists";>announced</a> that three new Debian mailing lists were created for Squeeze LTS: <a href="https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts";>debian-lts</a>, <a href="https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-changes";>debian-lts-changes</a>, and <a href="https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce";>debian-lts-announce</a>. </p> <p> Gijs Hillenius <a href="https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/community/osor/news/open-source-everywhere-plovdiv-military-prosecution";>reported</a> that the Military Prosecutor's office in the Bulgarian province of Plovdiv uses Debian as its default operating system. </p> <p> The <a href="https://lists.debian.org/debconf15-team/2014/05/msg00062.html";>contest for the DebConf15's logo</a> just closed.
