Re: The brief status of Debian riscv porting --2022/10/22
Hi!
Thank you for sharing the porting status of RISCV64.
When I make this a Debian official port, I'm worried about what is a blocker.
Of course, there is a porting package coverage, but do you know what
the support status
such as infrastructure and others when it becomes an official port?
If possible, I would like to cooperate with this.
According to architecture requalification[0] and other
information[1][2], Buildd-DSA[3] and
porterbox seem to be major blockers. Are you or other member working on these?
