I was under the impression that the golang maintainers want all architectures bootstrapped from gccgo? This was the reason mips64el support was not in stretch despite upstream support for it. If a normal bootstrap would have been acceptable, I would have done it ages ago. Again I have to point out that you are *not* allowed to upload binary debs to the archive before the corresponding source is uploaded. You need to re-read this: https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/ch05.en.html#porter-guidelines Please can you actually discuss this with the package maintainers and mips porters _before_ you do anything like this again. You should also read the mips related go bugs filed against various golang packages. Thankfully you didn't upload golang-defaults so a mass-build of go packages wasn't triggered... [On a related note, the gccgo patches for mips64el have now been merged into GCC master] James
