Dear mips64el porters,This is a warning from a Release Team member regarding the state of mips64el in Debian.
Unless Sergei considers himself a mips64el porter, I haven't seen activity of the mips64el porters on bug 1093200 and similar bugs where the porters were asked for help and thus cc-ed. Because of the seriousness of the problem, that's a very bad sign for the port.
I also like to hear your view on the topic of the Debian hosts, like it was raised in bug 1050872. I understand that there are difficulties upgrading existing hardware to bookworm (and later) kernels. Some hosts apparently are currently not upgradable. I also heard that newer hardware is incompatible with the ABI used in Debian. How do you see a future for mips64el in Debian?
