#debian-release: Architecture Qualification
Meeting started by jmw at 18:58:25 UTC
(full logs).
Meeting summary
- amd64/i386 (jmw, 19:02:45)
- AGREED: amd64/i386
stay (jmw,
19:03:38)
- hurd-i386 (jmw, 19:04:14)
- https://release.debian.org/jessie/arch_qualify.html
is the arch page I'm working from, by the way (jmw,
19:05:41)
- https://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?pkg=meanwhile
that's a small package (aba,
19:10:22)
- the hurd situation is improved, but not
enough (jmw,
19:17:17)
- AGREED: hurd-i386
will not be a release architecture (jmw,
19:17:26)
- sparc (jmw, 19:17:33)
- AGREED: sparc will
not be a release architecture (jmw,
19:17:56)
- armel/armhf (jmw, 19:18:14)
- DSA have multiple concerns (jmw,
19:19:19)
- ancina is the only armel machine remote from
the others, and due to be decommissioned (jmw,
19:21:37)
- there are two armhf machines remote from the
others, both at ynic (jmw,
19:22:58)
- DSA did not see an improvement in the situation
during the last cycle (jmw,
19:29:58)
- AGREED: armel/armhf
hardware situation is not a blocker at this stage, but the situation
needs to improve before release (jmw,
19:30:43)
- https://release.debian.org/jessie/arch_qualify.html
says so (aba,
19:31:11)
- ACTION: DSA liaise
with ARM about hardware and remote management, best-effort
(jmw,
19:32:10)
- kfreebsd-amd64/kfreebsd-i386 (jmw, 19:33:10)
- only one porter appears to be active
(jmw,
19:34:19)
- RC bugs do not appear to be found quickly nor
fixed in a suitable timeframe (jmw,
19:34:41)
- there appear to be significant unresolved
upgrade problems (jmw,
19:38:16)
- AGREED: kfreebsd-amd64/kfreebsd-i386 will not be release
architectures (jmw,
19:42:55)
- mips/mipsel (jmw, 19:43:22)
- DSA has concerns, but they should be alleviated
soon with a new datacentre and hardware (jmw,
19:45:43)
- AGREED: mips/mipsel
will be release architectures (jmw,
19:50:32)
- powerpc (jmw, 19:50:40)
- AGREED: powerpc will
be a release architecture (jmw,
19:51:45)
- s390x (jmw, 19:51:54)
- DSA have concerns about a single source of
hardware, sponsored, and it doesn't appear to be improving
(jmw,
19:54:14)
- we do have redundant locations. DSA's concern
is only mild (jmw,
19:56:15)
- AGREED: s390x will be
a release architecture (jmw,
19:57:14)
- arm64 (jmw, 19:58:12)
- arm64 is a new port (jmw,
19:58:16)
- DSA have multiple concerns; hardware
availability, management of existing hosts, no geographic
redundancy (jmw,
19:59:57)
- the port is not yet bootstrapped into
sid (jmw,
20:05:47)
- ACTION: aba to try a
testing bootstrap of arm64 and ppc64el (jmw,
20:11:49)
- AGREED: arm64 is a
release architecture in principle, providing a testing bootstrap is
successful and DSA's hardware concerns can be alleviated. if there
are significant problems, the architecture may be dropped before
release (jmw,
20:14:57)
- ppc64el (jmw, 20:15:05)
- mild DSA concern about hardware, not a
blocker (jmw,
20:15:56)
- DSA concerns about hardware location are
expected to be resolved imminently (jmw,
20:17:34)
- AGREED: ppc64el is a
release architecture in principle, providing a testing bootstrap is
successful and DSA's hardware concerns can be alleviated. if there
are significant problems, the architecture may be dropped before
release (jmw,
20:20:21)
