Re: Debian MIPS port

[Claus Høyer <choyer@computer.org>]

Hi Guido,

I didn't expect anything newer than 3.0, what I mean is that the Debian/MIPS port has not been around for a long time, and I wonder if there seems to be sufficient commitment to/interest in this architecture that it will continue to be supported well into the future?

With regards to my question regarding which MIPS ISA was supported, since the Debian/MIPS port is actually running on the MIPS ISA I R3000A (in a DECstation 5000/240), it appears to be in fine shape for my purpose.

Thanks,
Claus

Only from 3.0? What newer versions did you actually expect?

  

of this port. Is the port "alive", is it reasonable stable, are new 
packages being ported (soon after release...), and are most packages 
actually working?
    

There's testing and unstable as on every other debian architecture too.
