Re: The brief status of Debian riscv porting --2023/01/08



Hi All,

I have a question.  Is it possible to run an eBFP application inside Linux Kernel for RISC-V architectures at this point in time or is it still a work in progress?

Hi,

This is the first issue of status with Debian riscv64 porting of the
new year. With less than a week[0] to go, The freeze for bookworm
will happen. So anyway from now let's look forward to the release of
bookworm.

Debian riscv64 arch did not catch up with the release of bookworm in
my view. But we're so close to achieve the goal. Many thanks to
everyone involved in this process. Without their participation, this
achievement would not have been possible.

In 2023, we should have several powerful boards(kernel upstream
supported) that can be used as buildd machines. This will make it
easier for us to meet Debian official porting requirements.

After several waves of rebuilding[1] for some packages that have not
built for a long time, There's not a lot of FTBFS on riscv64 packages
was added here. Another important thing from my view is to help
nodejs[2] that can be built on riscv64 as soon as possible. This
caused some dependency issues for debci[3].

BR,
Bo
