Package: release.debian.org Dear Release Managers,
Version 0.8.0 of libcpuid supports arm/arm64 and I've uploaded a version that includes those architectures, first to experimental to check that it all went okay, then to unstable. I've also built cpu-x 5.3.1, which requires the libcpuid 0.8.0+, and which supports arm/arm64. Again, first to experimental for some sanity checks, then to unstable. Although libcpuid is a shared library, it's pretty much a leaf package: the only things that use it are cpu-x and nix-bin. And although there was an so bump from 17 to 18, this was actually due to an extremely minor API change: two structs were lengthened for additional CPU information. Aside from supporting ARM/ARM64, the new versions recognize some more recent Intel and AMD CPU models. So, I'm requesting that libcpuid and cpu-x be unblocked, because basically the new versions broaden support to include extra architectures, both a new family and new micro-architectures. Cheers, --Barak.
