Purpose

The purpose of this page is to demonstrate that arm meets the [http://release.debian.org/lenny_arch_policy.html 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.

Developer machines

The following machines are available to developers:

  1. [http://db.debian.org/machines.cgi?host=agnesi 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

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 786 users as of 26th October 2007 making it the 4th 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: ...
