Dear HPPA porters, dear HPPA port users, the Release Team is currently wondering if it makes sense to release with HPPA as a regular stable architecture with squeeze. It might be that it is not up to the standards of a regular Debian release. We seem to chase random segmentation faults, causing multiple give-backs to eventually yield a built package. Especially this is also causing concerns from a security building point of view, as autobuilding has to work for this. If it's not entirely up to our standards, would a separate suite, like it has been done in the past for etch-m68k, help having some sort of release that can be updated independently from the main stable release? Such a suite could also be useful to land larger changes than normally allowed for stable and maybe to continue the hppa port from a stable foundation for some time. I think we do agree that it will be included into stable for the last time. Kind regards, Philipp Kern
