Purpose

The purpose of this page is to demonstrate that arm meets the architecture recertification criteria for lenny.

If some of these requirements are irrelevant or implausible for the port, please add a waiver request indicating why and how this isn't a problem for the arch in bold.

Availability

The architecture is publicly available without NDAs via:

  1. Aleph One (Balloonboard)

  2. Simtec (CATS, Bast, ...)

  3. ADS (Bitsyx, VGX, AGX, ...)

  4. Linksys (NSLU2)

  5. Arcom (Viper, ...)

  6. ARM Corp (Integrator?)

  7. Nokia (770)

  8. iRiver PMP-120/140, GPL'd firmware

  9. Intel (IXDP240x, IXP28xx, ...)

  10. Radisys (ENP-2611, ENP-2605, ...)

  11. PePLink (MANGA, MANGA Mini, ...)

  12. Castle (Iyonix)

  13. Loft (IXP42x)

  14. Glomation (GESBC-9312-sc, ...)

  15. Technologic Systems (TS-7200, TS-7250, TS-7260, ...)

  16. LogicPD (PXA270 Card Engine) oh, and about 100 others.

Developer machines

The following machines are available to developers:

  1. agnesi.debian.org. Thanx to Joey Hess for making this happen, I believe.

  2. Vince Sanders (Kyllikki) maintains a machine to which developers can be given specific access. jennifer.kyllikki.org port 1022. Mail vince@debian.org to ask for an account.

Port maintainers

The Debian port is maintained by the following developers, who actively work on architecture specific issues:

  1. Martin Michlmayr (tbm) debian-installer, kernel
  2. Riku Voipio, general
  3. Wookey, buildds, general
  4. Colin Tuckley, general
  5. Aurelien Jarno, general
  6. Gordon Farquharson, kernel, debian-installer

Users

The port is being actively used at the following sites:

  1. Cambridge University Engineering Dept: 25 machines (Balloon3), 100 users, robotics teaching course.
  2. bar: 1 machine, yyy users, development server
  3. ...

According to popcon, arm has 806 users as of 21st January 2008 making it the 3rd most used arch in Debian.

Installer

The installer is being maintained by Martin Michlmayr and it's currently working effectively. Successful installation reports are available at: ...

Upstream support

Upstream support is provided by:

  • binutils: codesourcery (Paul Brook)
  • glibc: codesourcery (Paul Brook)
  • gcc: codesourcery (Paul Brook)
  • g++: codesourcery (Paul Brook)

  • kernel: Russell King and others,kyllikki, buytenh

  • boot loader: there are lots of these for different machines
    • blob - blob.sf.net
    • able - Simtec Ltd
    • uboot -
    • redboot - Redhat Ltd
    • apex -

Archive coverage and Autobuilder support

  • The port is currently at 96.23% up to date (21 Jan 2008) according to the buildd stats (95% cut off)

  • The port has currently also built 96.23% of the archive (21 Jan 2008) (90% cut off)

Archive cleanliness

The port builds from unmodified Debian source.

Autobuilders

The following machines run buildds for the port:

  • oldstable/stable/testing (*-proposed-updates, *-security)

    • toffee.einval.com - buildd logs checked by security team, testing security group and ?JamesTroup, adminned and hosted by SteveMcIntyre

  • unstable

    • cats.kyllikki.org - buildd logs checked by ?JamesTroup, adminned by SteveMcIntyre, hosted by ?VincentSanders

    • grieg.vie.kapper.net - buildd logs checked by ?JamesTroup, adminned by SteveMcIntyre, hosted by GerfriedFuchs

  • experimental, unstable non-free, bpo, unstable d-i
