Purpose

The purpose of this page is to demonstrate that m68k meets the [http://ftp-master.debian.org/archive-criteria.html archive criteria].

 Note that information has to be on the page directly, and verifiable. -- ajt@d.o 

Requirements for architectures

Is port cursed?

Don't think so (WTF is "cursed" supposed to mean?)

Are machines available to general public?

No answer

Is full source available?

Source of the whole port is available. All of the packages use the same sources as the official Debian ports. In fact, it was an official architecture for Sarge.

No.

 coldfire should be addressed here 

Are there 3 or more developers (or n-ms) actively maintaining the port? Who are they?

No answer

What sort of architecture is this? Desktop/workstation? Mainframe/supercomputer? Embedded? Something else?

old Desktop/Workstation and embedded.

Does it have any users? If a desktop system, are there Debian admins who run Debian systems on the arch? If an embedded system are there real systems shipping that a Debian port will be useful for? If a mainframe system are there real systems with many users that a Debian port will be useful for? Who are they?

Is there kernel and toolchain support? At what level?

No answer

How do you install a system? (URL to a HOWTO)

[http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/m68k] -- the Debian installation manual.

Has a buildd been setup? How much of the archive has been built (count by source package, builds of old versions are fine for this case)?

Many build daemons, mostly up-to-date (though not entirely).

Needs further precision

What hardware is potentially available as a fast buildd?

Currently none. Perhaps the situation will improve slightly if/when the port will work on the ?ColdFire; see [http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2006/01/msg00005.html]

Is there any corporate support of this arch, and the Debian port in particular?

Not currently. There is corporate support for the ?ColdFire architecture, however.

Is there an example box developers can login to to see if it works?

The following machines are available to developers:

  1. kullervo.debian.org
  2. crest.debian.org

Further requirements for OSes

Not applicable for this architecture.
