Re: status of ia64 for jessie and later

[Patrick Baggett <baggett.patrick@gmail.com>]

I'm an ia64 user and I would love for the port to not be dropped because I don't like the idea of Gentoo. :(

Is libunwind8 the major blocker here? That doesn't seem too bad if it is. I'd rather ia64 creak along than to be dropped entirely.

Hi,

I remember talk about potentially dropping the ia64 port after wheezy
was released, but don't know about the current status.

However if this is planned it might be worth doing so soon: on ia64
about 2750 source packages depend on libunwind7 which changed its soname
to libunwind8.

Regards,
Ansgar
