Purpose

The purpose of this page is to demonstrate that hppa meets the [http://release.debian.org/etch_arch_criteria.html architecture recertification criteria for etch].

Availability

The architecture is publicly available without NDAs via:

  1. [http://www.hp.com/workstations/risc/index.html workstations] and

  2. [http://www.hp.com/products1/servers/HP9000_family_overview.html servers]

Developer machines

The following machines are available to developers:

  1. paer.debian.org - maintained by DSA (Matt Taggart and dann frazier local admins), connectivity via HP.

Port maintainers

The Debian port is maintained by the following developers, who are familiar with arch-specific issues for this port

  1. LaMont Jones

  2. Matthew Wilcox
  3. Randolph Chung
  4. Kyle ?McMartin

  5. Jeff Bailey
  6. Thibaut Varene

Users

The port is being actively used at the following sites:

??? Add more here ???

  1. HP's Linux lab uses at least one production lab machine with >40 users

  2. popcon = 44 machines, assume 44 users

Popcon indicates 44 users of the architecture as at 2005-10-08. 44 individual machines + a machine at HP with 40 users on it > 50 needed for release qualification.

Installer

The installer is being maintained by Richard Hirst and it's currently working effectively. Successful installation reports are available at: bugs.debian.org

Upstream support

Upstream support is provided by:

  • glibc: Actively hindered by glibc upstreeam, Carlos O'Donell is your man for glibc issues
  • gcc: John David Anglin. Randolph Chung also very capable.
  • g++: John David Anglin. Randolph Chung also very capable.
  • kernel: Matthew Wilcox, Grant Grundler, Kyle ?McMartin, Thibaut Varene, others

  • boot loader: Paul Bame
  • ...

Archive coverage and Autobuilder support

  • There is more than enough hardware floating around to bring in additional build daemons as necessary. The current buildd is able to cope just fine though, and isn't even using both cpus!
  • Both etch and sarge are >98% built

  • The port is currently above 97% up to date according to [http://buildd.debian.org/stats/graph2-week.png the buildd stats] (95% cut off)

  • The port has currently built over 95% of the archive according to [http://buildd.debian.org/stats/graph-week.png the buildd stats] (90% cut off)

Archive cleanliness

The port builds from unmodified Debian source.

Autobuilders

The following machines run buildds for the port:

  • sarti.debian.org - connectivity via Black Cat Networks, buildd logs checked by LaMont Jones, admined by DSA (Jonathan ?McDowell is local admin)
