Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

I also sent an email to James Troup to add AMD64 to P-A-S for SBCL and
also explained why the SBCL binary packages for mips and mipsel should
be removed. I'm quoting it below:

Thanks!

==============================================================

Hi James,

I've helped upstream add AMD64 support to the SBCL source package.
It's now in the alioth amd64 distribution.

Would you please add amd64 to the SBCL entry. Also, upstream sbcl has been
broken[1] on mips/mipsel for about 5 months. There are no plans to fix
this. Would you remove mips and mipsel from the entry as well?

I'll file a bug report against ftp.debian.org to remove the binary
packages so that newer versions of sbcl can migrate to testing.

Thanks,

Kevin

[1] Specifically, sbcl seems to have a cache flushing problem on
mips/mipsel. So that builds only succeed about 10% of the time.
