The docs are relatively new, at one point we had a few folks who had never contributed to Debian show up wanting to convert their company's internal port of Debian for their company's CPU arch into an official Debian port. I figured it was time to document the process and so helmut, josch, guillem, aurel32, other folks and myself translated the PortTemplate page (which I created as a more organised alternative to current port pages) into a proper checklist that ideally every port could comply with. I consider reproducible builds (and bootstrappable builds) an essential part of any ideal port, so I of course mentioned both. https://wiki.debian.org/PortTempate The architectures they were interested in are ARC from Synopsis and LoongArch from Loongson, who used to make MIPS chips. Later we had some people new to Debian wanting to improve riscv64, so the new port docs proved useful for guiding them too. https://wiki.debian.org/Ports/arc https://wiki.debian.org/Ports/loongarch64 > > Since repro builds […] is a blocker for testing migration, > > Ahem, I'd really love if that was the case, but it really isn't at > the moment. Hmm, I wonder how I got this so wrong. I thought britney was taking into account repro builds tests in some way, maybe blocking regressions or reducing migration time, I guess I was remembering the 2019 thread about this but completely misremembering the outcome, wooops! https://lists.debian.org/msgid-search/f6a50af4-9857-d491-0d7b-bf4cadd796d4@debian.org If you'd prefer to move repro builds to a different section, please edit the docs or let me know which stage is most appropriate for it. That can of course change as circumstances in Debian change. https://wiki.debian.org/PortsDocs/New -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
