Package: wnpp Severity: normal I intend to orphan the memtest86+ package.
After much time a new beta is out, but it still does not include the multiboot support. I don't have enough interest in this to dedicate the time it requires to do things right. The current unreleased state of the package is at https://salsa.debian.org/debian/memtest86plus on branch "wip". The package description is: Memtest86+ scans your RAM for errors. . This tester runs independently of any OS - it is run at computer boot-up, so that it can test *all* of your memory. You may want to look at `memtester', which allows to test your memory within Linux, but this one won't be able to test your whole RAM. . It can output a list of bad RAM regions usable by the BadRAM kernel patch, so that you can still use your old RAM with one or two bad bits. . Memtest86+ is based on memtest86 3.0, and adds support for recent hardware, as well as a number of general-purpose improvements, including many patches to memtest86 available from various sources. . Both memtest86 and memtest86+ are being worked on in parallel. Memtest86+ scans your RAM for errors. .
