Re: Bug#968309: src:austin: fails to migrate to testing for too long: FTBFS on armhf and mipsel
Dear Release Team
I believe this migration issue is caused by the build failure of
Austin on a couple of architectures. Unfortunately, I do not have the
means to debug on such platforms and therefore I am unlikely to be
able to provide a fix. Austin is guaranteed to work on the arm65, i368
and amd64 architectures. If tests pass on other platforms that's a
bonus, but given that I cannot develop nor test on other platforms, I
cannot guarantee broader support.
Please let me know if there's anything that I can do to address this issue.
Best regards,
Gabriele
