Debian ARM Hard Float (armhf) port TODO list

State of features for armhf

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.

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.

Recording ARM Hard Float bugs to Debian BTS

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

$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>>
