Hi, |
17 |
|
18 |
I'd like to ask the council to vote on the following topics regarding the |
19 |
'minor arches' based on the feedback I received on the respective |
20 |
thread in the gentoo-dev mailing list |
21 |
|
22 |

Drop the following arches to ~arch |
25 |
|
26 |
- s390 |
27 |
- sh |
28 |
- ia64 |
29 |
- alpha |
30 |
- m68k |
31 |
- sparc |
32 |
-(maybe ppc and ppc64?) |
33 |
|
34 |
The feedback on the original question was mostly positive. |
35 |
Most people agree that the long stabilization queues for these |
36 |
architectures create problems |
37 |
for maintainers wishing to drop old versions. |
38 |
The council should also take into consideration that the stabilization process |
39 |
for these arches is mostly a one-man job (Agostino). |
40 |
|
41 |
However, some people raised the point that we should provide stable stages |
42 |
for these architectures and drop everything else to ~arch. |
43 |
|
44 |
So if the Council votes 'NO' to the original question, vote on whether |
45 |
only @system should |
46 |
be stable for these architectures. |
47 |
|
48 |
The Council should also provide a list of the arches that wishes to |
49 |
"mark" as ~arch (even if they only do stable @system) |
50 |
so maintainers are aware of the situation. |
