Package: avr-libc Version: 1:2.0.0+Atmel3.6.1-2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Hi all, The upstream project at https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/avr-libc/ appears to have stalled, because no actual updates have been made in a couple of years now. Meanwhile there are many new types of AVR chip that the library does not yet support. I've been reporting bugs upstream and not getting any responses. E.g. https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?54652 https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?54977 Would it be possible for Debian to find another source of this - perhaps by using the Atmel part files more directly? Specifically, newer chips that this Debian package does not support that I have been trying to work on are: ATmega328PB ATtiny214, ATtiny414, ATtiny814, ATtiny1614, ATtiny3214 ATtiny416, ATtiny816, ATtiny1616, ATtiny3216 ATtiny417, ATtiny817, ATtiny1717, ATtiny3217 (i.e. the entire new ATtiny 1-series) ATmega3208, ATmega4808 ATmega3209, ATmega4809 (i.e. the entire new ATmega 0-series) A number of folks on #avr on Freenode have been aware of this for some time, and we're getting close to the point of declaring a fork of the original nongnu project so we can continue to make progress adding the newer chips from the last few years. Before we look into that, is Debian aware of any other sources for this sort of thing, that we could talk to instead?
