Debian mips64el port
Contents
This page tracks the progress of the mips64el port (unofficial).
Archive
There is a repository at http://mips64el.debian.net/ which tracks unstable. Currently it has about 90% of the archive built.
That site also contains some QEMU images, the build logs for all packages, and some statistics about what is currently building and has been built (updated hourly).
Binary packages archive: http://mips64el.debian.net/debian
Build logs: http://mips64el.debian.net/debian/logs
QEMU images: http://mips64el.debian.net/debian/qemu
Statistics: http://mips64el.debian.net/debian/info
ISA
Little endian, N64 ABI, MIPS64r1 ISA, and hardware floating-point.
Build Machines
The new archive has a number of buildds (7 at the time of writing) and is running the normal buildd software the main Debian archive uses (buildd, sbuild, wanna-build).
Installation
Run debootstrap on a Debian mipsel system, then configure bootloader and kernel.
