As the glibc hppa ports maintainer I can commit to the following NPTL transition plan: * August 30th, completed NPTL rewrite to support debian partial upgrades. * August 31st to September 19th testing including complex test cases. * September 20th to 29th integration with debian-glibc package. * September 30th, NPTL transition complete. Aurel, is this timeline OK with you? > Some of the buildd kernels still cause segfaults, it would be good to > have an idea what's been done for them and how long you estimate it to > take to solve them. Dave, Kyle, Dann, What's the most stable configuration we can create for the buildds, even if it means crippling them with UP kernels? > I also like to include a small list of packages that were updated to fix > an RC bug (in testing), but are currently failing to build on hppa (even > if they also fail on other arches): > > * acpica-unix Debugging this shows that a segfault in the testsuite prevents the package from building successfully. The segfault is due to a uninitialized field in a structure, which is then accessed as a string. This looks like a clear cut FTBS. In fact the FTBS is already filed: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=539427 > * classpath > * gforth I'll add these to my list of packages to look at. Current work queue is: * glibc NPTL migration. * Investigate kernel stability * ruby1.9 * petsc * xmms * classpath * gforth If you want anything in that order changed, please say so.
