[[https://ftp-master.debian.org/archive-criteria.html|ftp team]],
[[https://release.debian.org/testing/arch_qualify.html|release team]]

== development ==
- there must be a developer-accessible debian.org machine for the architecture.

== buildd ==
- the architecture must have an actual, running, working buildd

- the port must include basic unix functionality, e.g resolving DNS names and firewalling{{{
 buildds are Internet-plugged in order to be useful
}}}

- the architecture must be able to run a buildd 24/7 sustained (without crashing)

- the supported architecture must have sufficient buildds to keep up with the volume of uploaded packages

== packages ==
- the supported architecture must have successfully compiled most of the archive's source (excluding architecture-specific packages)

- binary packages must be built from the unmodified Debian source {{{
 (required, among other reasons, for license compliance)
}}}

== installer ==
- the supported architecture must have a working, tested DebianInstaller

== security support ==
- there must be security support team for this architecture

== social need ==
- 5 DebianDeveloper who will use or work on the port must support the architecture.

- the port must have at least 50 users
