Yes: https://lists.debian.org/debian-mips/2023/07/msg00052.html >... > If our official buildds for a release architecture are unable to run on > either the stable or oldstable kernel, I think that raises some important > questions about suitability for inclusion in future releases. >... This problem affects older (and slower) buildds, the newer buildds don't run with any kernel older than oldstable. Turning off the affected buildds is an option. >... > >From the point of view of the project having control over its own future, > I would have hoped that official Debian infrastructure would only be using > suites that are supported by Debian as a whole, >... This problem is not limited to mips: https://nagios.debian.org/cgi-bin/icinga/status.cgi?hostgroup=buster&style=overview E.g. the Python2 removal in bullseye removed planet-venus, which was never ported to Python3 but is used by planet.debian.org. A replacement is being written in Perl, but it is still WIP. > Thanks, > smcv cu Adrian
