Re: Requesting for the loong64 port could be included in the Official ports



Hi Thorsten,

Thanks for your reply, sincerely.

In this email, I have added partners and products information for LoongArch.
There are also download links under some of the partner and product links.

2. Answer the questions included in the archive criteria.
I have created a ArchiveQualification page for loong64 and answered the questions. I will update continuously.
Please check https://wiki.debian.org/ArchiveQualification/loong64.


from my point of view you didn't answer question 6. Can you please provide an English version of the link about the information partners? Adding a new architecture to Debian increases the burden of every package maintainer and of course of all teams dealing with the infrastructure as well. So the effort in doing so must be worth it. Please be more verbose about the number of users that are already using your architecture.

On IRC (nick: ta) you wanted to give me some links where I could buy your hardware in Europe. I don't think you will attract enough developers as porters if nobody can buy your hardware, not to mention the non existing user base. No, I don't see Aliexpress as a suitable source for expensive stuff.
So how do you want to attract more people as porters?

At present, there are thousands of informationization partners of Loongson, which can provide complete solutions from end to cloud based on Loongson.
With tens of thousands of related hardware and software developers.
LoongArch has been merged by Kernel, Gcc, Gdb, Binutils, Glibc, Llvm, Golang upstream projects and so on. The principle is to prioritize the submission of LoongArch architecture support to the upstream. We hope LoongArch users to have a open, long-maintained software repository and operating system. Loongson team will always maintain the LoongArch architecture with Debian Community. The effort to do (Add loong64 port to Debian Official ports) so must be worth it.

Adding a new architecture to Debian increases the burden on each package maintainer, and on all the teams dealing with the infrastructure.
Thanks to everyone for their efforts.
If I haven't listed enough, or if you need additional information, please contact me and I'll keep adding to it.

- How to buy LoongArch hardware in Europe?
In China, it is easy for our users to buy LoongArch machines online, such as Jingdong (JD.COM). In Europe, offers online personnel who can discuss requirements, sign orders, make payments and shipments.
I will provide you the specific method on IRC.
Which of the international buying channels, such as Amazon, eBay, Ozon, etc., is preferred in Europe? We will plan and try to provide the appropriate communication channels.

In addition, before some people buy LoongArch machines, Loongson plans to donate 3 LoongArch PC machines to ftpmasters team, release team, and DSA team respectively (The total number is 9 PC machines). If another team or porter needs a LoongArch machine, we can also communicate in a timely manner.
Your opinions are welcome.

Thanks
Dandan Zhang
