[Sorry for the long CC: list, I was unsure about subscribers] So, even if this report is quite old, it looks like something is currently moving. This mail is just to ping all interested parties and sum up relevant references. In a recent thread[1], there were initial discussions about first integrating sh4 into debian-ports[2], also to ease a future move into the official archive. Buildd and porters hardware is reported to be available, but it looks to me that the issue is currently related to lack of manpower and people involved. Porters, commenters and SH fans, would you please speak up and coordinate initial setup with Aurelien? Also, it would be good to have general-use knowledge about this port available on the wiki, as it's already happening with other ports[3][4] [5]. While digging the archive, I found many links to Japan documentations and pages: I think you could try to attract more contributors just providing more plain English docs. While at it, can we consider consensus reached to start just with sh4, ask for binary-sh removal and then if requested try to add other flavors (having learned and gained experience from the past)? Reply-to is currently set to Debian SuperH mailing list, please follow-up there but try to keep this bug report updated with major progresses and milestones reached.
