Hi Michael, it sounds like you would be interested in installing the how-can-i-help package, where you can run queries pre-filtered to the list of packages you have locally installed. how-can-i-help --old --show no-testing,testing-autorm signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Bug#988361: ITP: golang-github-rafaeljusto-redigomock -- Easy way to unit test projects using redigo library (Redis client in go)
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Arnaud Rebillout * Package name: golang-github-rafaeljusto-redigomock Version : 3.0.1-1 Upstream Author : Rafael Dantas Justo * URL : https://github.com/rafaeljusto/redigomock * License : GPL-2.0 Programming Lang: Go Description : Unit tests using redigo library (Redis client in go) Easy way to unit test projects using redigo library (https://github.com/gomodule/redigo) (Redis client in go). This is a dependency of mirrorbits [1] that I plan to package. This is also a dependency for tests of gitlab-workhorse, although at the moment the related unit tests are disabled in the Debian package [2]. I guess that it will be possible to enable those tests when rafaeljusto-redigomock is packaged. I plan to maintain this package with the Go Team.

How to commit a new architecture like RISC-V
hello We have a new architecture , We have compiled a lot of packages.Now the system can work normally . We want to submit to debian like RISC-V. Please What documents(or others) can we refer to. I want to know the submission process and documents.I know RISC-V has done it ,but I do not know how to begain and what can referance. Please help me . thank you !!!

I read that CPUs supporting it can also run MIPS, ARM, RISC-V and x86 binaries. Are there any advantages to a new port instead of the existing binaries? https://www.cnx-software.com/2021/04/17/loongson-loongarch-cpu-instruction-set-architecture/ > We want to submit to debian like RISC-V. Please What documents(or others) > can we refer to. I would suggest to read the PortTemplate wiki page. Each item on it should be completed for LoongArch to eventually become a viable Debian port. Once you have read through it, followed each of the links and you know the new Debian architecture names for LoongArch, you can create new wiki pages for each of the architectures, then fill out the template as you complete each item. Currently only the ia64 wiki page was organised like this, other architecture wiki pages grew organically. https://wiki.debian.org/PortTemplate https://wiki.debian.org/Ports -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise

I think that recent port bootstrapping efforts have been performed using https://wiki.debian.org/HelmutGrohne/rebootstrap. >I want to know the submission process and documents.I know RISC-V has done > it ,but I do not know how to begain and what can referance. Please follow up on this email thread with the following information: * What is the gnu triplet used for the port? * How many bits? Endianess? * What is the state of binutils support? * What is the state of gcc support? * What is the state of linux support? * What is the state of glibc support? * Do you have a preferred architecture name already? When describing "what is the state of ... support?", please tell: * If the support is upstreamed, since which version? * If not, are patches posted? Where? * If not, is support implemented in some fork? Where? Once we got answers to all these, I suppose that extending rebootstrap to support your architecture is the next step. Once finished, you get to manually fill in the gaps and roughly end up with something close to build-essential. Using that, you'll set up a native build system and build the rest of the archive. In the process, you'll break build dependency cycles using various means. The most common ones are nocheck builds and cross compilation. If you do irc, join #debian-bootstrap on oftc. Cross-bootstrap related matters are best directed at debian-cr...@lists.debian.org. Helmut
