Re: HPPA and Squeeze

[Bart Schelstraete <bart@schelstraete.org>]

Hello all,

Everybody is talking about the 'random crashes' and 'segfaults' in the HPPA version.
Over here I'm using the hppa on a small HP-UX workstation, and that has an uptime of 542 days!.
So it's not that unstable. 
I even need to say that I had a lot more crashes with the x86 version then with the hppa version.


Just to say that I'm personally not so unhappy with deb hppa, and that not everything is bad.

The main problem we have with hppa is that important porter issues are
not dealt with in a reasonable time frame. The random crashes and
segfaults are lasting for years already!

Note that we do *NOT* intend to drop hppa from unstable, it being
mentioned at all was an unfortunate sign of the deep frustration of some...
