Control: reassign -1 ftp.debian.org Control: severity -1 normal Hello FTP masters,
Please remove kitty from s390x architecture. Upstream has refused the support for the same, see: https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/issues/8548#issuecomment-2816794626 Thank you.

A removal of this from testing is triggered in 3 weeks and I don't wish to pressurize anyone to come up with a patch quickly so I am reassigning this bug to ask FTP master for a removal in s390x. If at a later point a s390x patch works *and merged upstream*, we can think about cherry-picking it as a targeted fix. >>> Given that soft freeze has now started, is it a sensible time to ask >>> for removal >>> of this package from s390x > > > I think that's quite acceptable given the reply from upstream.

I've just uploaded a new release, mostly to fix a pending CVE. I've added architecture-is-little-endian in git so this is picked up the next time.
