Debian ARM Hard Float (armhf) port TODO list
list of Hard Float usertagged bugs. For the ones with a patch and no maintainer reaction for months, Porter NMU is ok.

State of features for armhf
This list omits many features that "just worked" from the beginning, and thus have avoided attention from porters. Thus it looks worse than it is. Detailed package-specific notes are on the page ArmHardFloatProblems.

Triaging:
- Configure scripts potentially needing fixing
- Check that nothing is stuck in wrong dep-wait or not-for-us state in debian-ports.
- Provide fixes for packages.
NMU:
Packages that have open FTBFS bugs most likely FTBFS on armel buildd's as well. 0 Day NMU period for RC bugs is closed.
Packages with longstanding armhf usertagged bug should be open for porter NMU.
- For inactive maintainers, go for it, for active maintainers try first pestering the maintainer.
NMU BSPs:
Other:
- There is currently no easy migration path for users of the current ABI Debian ARM port. Thought needs to go into this.
- We need more people with armhf systems to start running popularity-contest.

Armhf in testing
As mentioned above armhf testing is now in a good state and is now considered a release architecture. As of 2012-07-21 143 packages were uninstallable. This overall count is only marginally worse than armel. However it would be good to get the uninstallability count down further
A list of uninstallable packages can be found at http://edos.debian.net/edos-debcheck/results/testing/latest/armhf/list.php
Known problem packages:
- openvas-plugins-dfsg: depends/build-depends loop preventing autobuilding, maintainer contacted to enquire about manual bootstrap building
- cernlib FTBFS in armhf unstable with what appear to be testsuite failures
Packages waiting for testing migration but with no known actual problems
Packages waiting for build in armhf unstable but with no known actual problems.

Haskell packages
This list looks bad, but we're reasonably convinced these are all false positives - Haskell doesn't do variadics. See http://lists.debian.org/debian-arm/2012/04/msg00008.html

Recording ARM Hard Float bugs to Debian BTS
- Earmark armhf bugs to have them searchable:
armhf usertag with user debian-arm@lists.debian.org
- To set usertags:
To: control@bugs.debian.org user debian-arm@lists.debian.org usertag bugnumber + armhf thanks
- Alternatively, when filing the bug:
Package: bloatlib Version: 12765-broken1 User: debian-arm@lists.debian.org Usertags: armhf
- one can use "bts" command from devscripts to set usertags:
bts user debian-arm@lists.debian.org . usertag $DebianBugNumber armhf
See also bugs.debian.org/usertags
Pending subscribe some mailing list so interested parties can receive armhf bugs:
$bug_number-subscribe-debian-arm=lists.debian.org@bugs.debian.org
It is recommend to try to agree on some other mailing lists besides <<MailTo:debian-arm AT lists DOT debian DOT org>>
