Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: important Justification: fails to build from source
Hi ftp masters! As reported in #330296 and #329197 and reported upstream, all postgresql version die with a SIGBUS on mips and mipsel for a long time now. I failed to debug this; no combination of versions, compiler versions, compiler switches, or configure options makes it work, the bug is almost impossible to debug, and upstream does not know what to do about it ATM. Therefore Steve Langasek and I agreed to remove the mips and mipsel binaries from testing and unstable until this is solved. Recent 7.4, 8.0, and 8.1 packages do not build mips packages any more (see below), so I closed above two RC bugs to allow testing migration for the other architectures again. 7.4 and 8.0 succeed/FTBFS based on the test suite outcome, so mips and mipsel packages will be built again as soon as this is fixed. 8.1 cannot FTBFS completely since client programs, and even more important, the client libraries are required on mips and mipsel, too. Therefore the postgresql-8.1 now lists all but mips[el] in the Architecture: field and a failed test suite does not cause an FTBFS. In particular, please remove the following debs from sid and testing for mips and mipsel: * all debs generated by postgresql-7.4 * all debs generated by postgresql-8.0 * postgresql-8.1 * postgresql-contrib-8.1 * postgresql-plperl-8.1 * postgresql-plpython-8.1 * postgresql-pltcl-8.1 Thank you!
