Hi,
About two months ago, I was inspired by the [0] and had luckily the opportunity to get help from the mail list to try port Debian packages to riscv. Certainly, Because I was new to Debian's development let alone about porting(deep technically). Now I am learning little by little about porting with your all help, thanks again.
And now I feel the debian-riscv mail list that is a little inactive. I am sure this is due to most packages [1] having been ported by many Debian people's great work:)
Now I have a native proposal about how to let people who want to quickly learn about the current situation about porting of debian-riscv with real-time in a sense. Based on that information, the people who are interested in porting riscv64 on Debian can pick something they want to do as much as possible.
The proposal is:
I will make a bi-weekly report about debian-riscv and it includes but not limited to:
* debian-ci bug report about riscv64 arch. I think these bugreports will flood into the ML in near future.
* debian-buildd statistics. The debian-buildd for riscv64 is more complex now. But new hardware resources are available in May from rvlab [2]. So we can still view the page [3] to continue to fix FTBFS issue for riscv.
* Special issue to affect port progress. For example, The unmatched board does not support HDMI output, IIRC.
* packages (here is my billshit)
** firefox. I am stuck here
** QT
** Libreoffice
** ...
Welcome add some suggestions here and I will glace at it.
But I am a bit worried about that will bring the noise to the community and this is not what I want, so if you feel uncomfortable please tell me.
BR,
Bo
