oh, and about 100 others.
Developer machines
The following machines are available to developers:
foo.debian.org - maintained by ..., connectivity via ....
Kyllikki maintains machines to which developers can be given specific access. A general-access developer machine needs putting up as the old one (debussey) has falled off the net.
Port maintainers
The Debian port is maintained by the following developers, who are familiar with arch-specific issues for this port
- Vince Sanders (kylliki)
- Phil Blundell (pb)
- Wookey
- Riku Voipio (nchip) (not that familiar yet..)
- ...
Users
The port is being actively used at the following sites:
- Kyllikki:
- Simtec Ltd:
- Wookey at home: 1 netwinder, 2 users, firewall/P2P server
- Aleph One Ltd: 2 machines, 2 users, various

- Movial, Iyonix machine for scratchbox cpu transparency, ~20 active users, and a pile of arm tablets running a debian fork
- Company X, several Iyonix and Simtec CATS machines, tens of users.
10. Jeroen Massar; Currently 2 NSLU2's for devel + storage etc, 2 other NLSU's optionally for dedicated debian usage + 1 iRiver PMP-140 (debian support is in the pipe!
Popcon indicates zz users of the architecture as at 2005/xx/yy.
What's a port user? pure debian installed with official debian installer? sarge/woody without debian kernel? debian fork users?
Installer
The installer is being maintained by kyllikki and it's currently working effectively. Successful installation reports are available at: ...
Upstream support
Upstream support is provided by:
- glibc: ...
- gcc: ...
- g++: ...
- kernel: kyllikki
- boot loader: there are lots of these for different machines
- ...
Archive coverage and Autobuilder support
Archive cleanliness
The port builds form unmodified Debian source.
Autobuilders
The following machines run buildds for the port:
- toffee - connectivity via ..., buildd logs checked by
- grieg - connectivity via ..., buildd logs checked by
- netwinder - connectivity via ..., buildd logs checked by
- smackdown - connectivity via reciva.com(?), buildd logs checked by, adminned by Phil Blundell
- cats - connectivity via ..., buildd logs checked by
Offered:
2 dedicated debian NSLU2's, to be hosted at [http://unfix.org/~jeroen/network/ Jeroen Massar's network], these can also be used for developer access if needed.
