 * The port has currently built 71,1% of the archive according to [http://unstable.buildd.net/buildd/kfreebsd-i386_stats](90% cut off)
    * The port has currently built 82% of the archive (90% cut off),
    * The number of up-to-date packages is over 71% according to [http://unstable.buildd.net/buildd/kfreebsd-i386_stats buildd.net], i.e. over 85% ever built packages are up-to-date (95% cut off).

Purpose

The purpose of this page is to demonstrate that kfreebsd-i386 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.

Availability

The architecture is publicly available without NDAs via:

1. [http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/ProductInformation/0,,30_118_9331,00.html AMD]

2. [http://www.intel.com/technology/architecture-silicon/intel64/index.htm Intel]

  1. io.debian.net - maintained by Aurelien Jarno and Gürkan Sengün, connectivity by ETH Zürich, Department of Physics.

Port maintainers

Archive coverage and Autobuilder support

Archive cleanliness

The port builds from unmodified Debian source. (Except a few packages that are provided separately in a third-party archive.)

Autobuilders

The following machines run buildds for the port:

  • oldstable (oldstable-proposed-updates, oldstable-security)
    • This suite does not exist for kfreebsd-i386.

  • stable (proposed-updates, stable-security)
    • This suite does not exist for kfreebsd-i386.

  • testing (testing-proposed-updates, testing-security)
    • This suite does not exist for kfreebsd-i386.

  • unstable
    • hagrid.debian.net - connectivity via 100MBps, hosted by ETH Zurich, Departement of physics, buildd logs checked and administrated by Aurelien Jarno.
    • maxwell.aurel32.net - connectivity via 20MBps/1MBps ADSL, buildd logs checked and administrated by Aurelien Jarno.
  • experimental
