Do you have any estimate when riscv64 will be released as a stable port?
Definitely Manuel is more authoritative to evaluate when riscv64 is released stable port(arch) and I just want to introduce the current progress about Debian riscv64 porting. Before becoming stable, riscv64 first needs to complete official porting for unstable. yes, Debian riscv64 is still in the unofficial port stage. We now need wait for the ftp team to add riscv64 on unstable and they have agreed but that hasn't happened yet. Given that bookworm is currently in hard freeze[0], so maybe it is *too late*for bookworm release. In fact, official porting is here only the frist step for Debian release and it seems like the most important step also.
Only after Debian release, we can get stable tree in my understand.So unless miracle happens, it will take a long time for us to see riscv64 stable. This is a problem because Chromium has the same requirement like Kubernetes you mentioned. Not sure if riscv64 will be accepted by downstream once the official port is done here. Hope so.:) BR, Bo [0]: https://release.debian.org/bookworm/freeze_policy.html
I would be happy to help speed up the process, but I just have a riscv64 devboard and some programming/ops skills, so I'm not sure if I can be helpful. Sincerely, Alexandr (ernado) Razumov.
