I guess the bigger questions would be "why bother?" Given the limited
number of Linux hackers I know of working on SuperH as it is, spending
time on support for newer hardware would seem wiser.
Hi,
So is there a consensus that sh4 inclusion is what is wanted? If so, is
the port at a state where that's feasible. Looking at debian-ports.org,
( http://buildd.debian-ports.org/stats/graph-week-big.png ) you seem to
have just under 90% of the archive built.
If you're still interested in getting the port into
unstable/experimental (and obviously aiming for a release, but that's up
to the release team), you need to co-ordinate between DSA (for buildd
hardware and hosting), the buildd team (for integration into the main
buildd network) the release team (to check they don't want to veto the
port), the security team (again to check they have no reason to veto the
port). Finally, wearing my ftpmaster hat, if everyone else is happy,
I'll be happy to start the archive bootstrapping process with you.
