Dear developers, we, the wanna-build admins, made the switch and put Packages-arch-specific, the file which states what packages are excluded from which architectures, into our hands. This means that the submission rules for changes to this precious file that controls our building infrastructure change a bit: Please submit additions, corrections and removals as bugs against buildd.debian.org to the Debian bug tracking system. Comments about specific bits and inquiries not fitting the criteria above may also be sent to `packages-arch-specific@buildd.debian.org'. The new canonical location of the file will be [0], with branches for each release as found on [1]. The git repository is available on [2]. We will establish a mirror on git.debian.org to use their gitweb frontend as soon as possible and offer a link in [2]'s base directory. Commit mails will be sent to `debian-dak@lists.debian.org' like they were before. Scripts that use anonymous CVS checkouts should not break, neither should scripts that use the old web location (which remained the same), but former should be converted as soon as possible. I thank Adam Conrad, LaMont Jones and James Troup for their past work in maintaining this file. This change was also communicated with two known downstream users of the file: Ubuntu and debian-ports. Should there be more, it would be nice if a contact could be established with the above mentioned mail address. Kind regards, Philipp Kern on behalf of wbadm [0] http://buildd.debian.org/quinn-diff/Packages-arch-specific [1] http://buildd.debian.org/quinn-diff/ [2] http://buildd.debian.org/git/packages-arch-specific.git -- .''`.
