Because some maintainers refuse such NMUs for unofficial architectures. Practically speaking, it is impossible to achieve the conditions for testing qualification without being official. The amd64 port was exceptional on this matter because it could gather a great number of contributors, who could compensate for the extra amount of work required because they were outside the archive. > > posibility to start negotiation with RM to be included with > > lenny (after etch is out, of course), ... > > That doesn't look realistic to me, and seems a bit premature as a > justification for getting into the archive anyway. Both kfreebsd ports are currently the closest ones to be able to reach testing qualification, and they are much closer to it than the Hurd port. If you reject them, what are you going to accept? > But what I mean is more that maintaining two simple Debian patches (one > for Linux, one for kFreeBSD) is probably simpler than maintaining one > complicated Debian patch (with some conditional make cruft). BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA. Sorry, but reading this just makes it obvious - to those who didn't already know it - that you have not been doing serious maintainer work lastly. > And probably > more importantly, it means that you can do immediately upload stuff for > kfreebsd without *any* risk of breaking the Linux version. Yeah, sure, relibtoolize patches and conditional configure options have caused incredible numbers of bugs. What an important problem with the inclusion of this port, sure. > Does that make it a bit clearer what I mean b? Yes, it makes clear that you are ready to say anything to justify not doing your ftpmaster job correctly. > The other side is just making the Debian mirror network available for > kfreebsd users.
