Bug#1111010: release.debian.org: phase out armel for forky
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-arm@lists.debian.org
User: debian-arm@lists.debian.org
Usertags: armel
The release notes for trixie announced that it would be the last release
for armel.
Now that forky is open, would it be possible to start removing armel
from the lists of architectures that "matter"? For example, this could
allow packages whose buildability regresses on armel (usually due to
lack of atomic ops) to migrate to testing, without needing ftp team
intervention to clean up their old binaries.
In my case this request was prompted by looking at src:dxvk, which was
buildable on armel in trixie but has regressed in experimental
("undefined reference to `__atomic_fetch_sub_8'"), and at this stage of
armel's life cycle it doesn't seem useful to spend time on fixing that.
Thanks,
smcv
