Strictly speaking, debian-ports.org is not Debian (no matter whether it’s a package in the unstable or experimental suites which contain binaries compiled from unmodified sources from the same-named suites in Debian, although not always their latest version, or its unreleased suite, which contains full source and binaries of packages needing architecture-specific patches which are not yet applied by the maintainer of the package in unstable, or, in this case, arch-specific packages which obviously cannot live in sid). Strictly speaking, the Debian BTS is for Debian packages, considering it does things like version tracking and the likes. Packages in unreleased currently also do not show up in the PTS at all, whereas packages in d-p.org unstable and experimental do show up there. (I wish this could change.) So there is precedent. On the other hand, d-p.org is for architectures that would like to be part of official Debian releases (again) some day, and having everything working the same would help; reportbug for example doesn’t distinguish between a Debian (release or not) and Debian-Ports architecture (even in cases where it should, like FTBFS bugs on d-p.org are not RC bugs, although neither are they on Debian architectures that are not release architectures…). I don’t know what should be the answer. There are strong points for both sides. Getting users to report bugs against something not the BTS for _some_ packages will be hard, even if we find something. bye, //mirabilos -- I believe no one can invent an algorithm.
