[cl-debian] RFH: removal of difficult architectures from sbcl, clisp targets

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, In the last few weeks the time I've been able to spend on debian has been quite limited. In light of this, but also seen the amount of time I've already spend in trying to get clisp on sparc to work again for example. I've decided that unless I get patches from people running or trying to run sbcl or clisp on architectures that fail to build I will stop bulding these packages for these architectures. The fact that most upstream developers do not have the possibility anymore to support these architectures themselves already is a clear sign these architectures are heading towards the big gc in the sky. Frankly I do not have the time, nor in most cases the machines to keep these architectures alive. This means that for clisp I will not build anymore for sparc (a sigsegv during boot). For sbcl that means removing alpha (missing arch_handle_single_step_trap), mips (impossible missing file src/assembly/mips/arith.lisp), mipsel (error during testing of sb-introspect) and sparc (old sbcl crashes on startup). Volunteers has time to speak up until 31/8. Groetjes, Peter - -- signature -at- pvaneynd.mailworks.org http://www.livejournal.com/users/pvaneynd/ "God, root, what is difference?"
