Introduction

The goal of this machine is to provide an infrastructure for unofficial architectures until they are integrated in the main Debian archive. This way porters could spend their time porting packages instead of fighting with the infrastructure.

The 2017 debian-ports archive signing key will expire in about one month. The 2018 one has been created, uploaded to the keyservers, and a new version of the debian-ports-archive-keyring package has also been uploaded. This key will be used in the next few days to sign the archive in addition to the 2017 one, which will be deactivated when expired.

The key is:

pub   rsa4096/0x06AED62430CB581C 2017-12-30 [SC] [expires: 2019-01-31]

CD images for debian-ports architectures have been moved to Debian's official cdimage mirror aka cdimage.debian.org.

Sat, 28 May 2016 12:12:55 +0200

The debian-ports archive has been moved from the old leda.debian.net machine to a new DSA administrated machine called porta.debian.org. The software managing the archive, mini-dak, is still the same, however the whole is now better integrated in the debian.org namespace and with the mirror system.

The archive is now available on ftp.ports.debian.org/debian-ports, see the corresponding page for more details. Redirections have been setup so that the old URLs still work, but they will not be kept permanently.

CD images are now available on ftp.ports.debian.org/debian-ports-cd.

This website is now available through HTTPS. All the links should have been updated, but don't hesitate to report any broken link.

Fri, 26 Feb 2016 22:36:31 +0100

Mon, 11 Jan 2016 13:20:40 +0100

The powerpcspe architecture does not have developers anymore, and has not seen any upload for months. It has therefore been removed from the debian-ports archive. The packages are still available through the snapshot.debian.org service.

Due to an increasing popularity of debian-ports.org, the server has been quite loaded in the last days, to the point of not being able to run the daily archive install.

To address the issue, the critical parts of mini-dak have been rewritten in Python. rsync has also been access has been limited to push mirrors only. The server now seems to handle the load correctly, at least for the last day.

If you were using the rsync access, please use one of the push mirrors instead. We are working on restoring the access on another machine.

debian-ports.org has moved to a new machine, which should solve our disk space issues and secure the hosting for the future. This machine is now hosted by Debian and is called leda.debian.net. Thanks to DSA for making that possible.

The new SSH host keys are:

    (DSA) 1024 92:81:ff:30:c5:fb:85:92:70:8c:aa:d0:ea:3e:0e:c9

Wed, 28 Jul 2010 21:47:28 +0200

For various reasons, the debian-ports.org machine now runs with an UTC timezone. This means the archive runs now happen at 06:02, 12:02, 18:02 and 00:02 UTC.

Wed, 28 Jul 2010 17:41:46 +0200

debian-ports now runs the latest postgresql-based version of wanna-build. The status pages are now using pgstatus instead of status.

When the machine has been moved to Skyrock/Telefun, the native IPv6 connectivity has been lost and replaced by a 6to4 address. This protocol is not fully supported by SixXS, causing problems from people accessing the debian-ports.org machine through SixXS. To solve this issue, it is now using a SiXXS tunnel for the IPv6 connectivity. The DNS has been updated in consequence.

Sun, 15 Feb 2009 19:16:42 +0100

Following the announcement of Debian Lenny, I have made a snapshot of the debian-ports.org archive at the date of the release. Please also note that a weekly snapshot of the archive is also available.

Fri, 31 Jan 2009 07:04:02 +0100

The archive key as expired today. I've created a new one, uploaded it to the keyservers, and it's the one that will start to be used for new signatures.

m68k's unstable archive and wanna-build is now hosted on ftp.debian-ports.org. It was previously hosted on ftp.debian.org.

Mon, 21 Apr 2008 13:41:29 +0200

During the last week-end, debian-ports.org has been moved to a new machine, which is faster and has a lot more disk space. The IP address has changed but the DNS records have been updated, so as long as you don't use the IP directly everything should still work.

The machine is now capable of accepting new ports, currently SH4 seems to be the next one. To accept a new port, we require that a minimal set of .deb packages has been ported, for example enough to run a buildd. Don't hesistate to ask for more details.

I would like to thanks Skyrock/Telefun for hosting the machine, Debian for buying it, and our former DPL, Sam Hocevar, for making this possible.

Wed, 16 Apr 2008 13:49:43 +0200

A git repository of the tools used to run Debian Ports is now available.

Tue, 15 Apr 2008 23:44:27 +0200

http://incoming.debian-ports.org/buildd/ now contains a copy of the latest uploaded packages from both http://incoming.debian.org/ and http://incoming.debian-ports.org/, in an apt-getable repository. The primarly goal is to provide autobuilders a way to be able to start building packages without having to wait for the next mirror push.

Only the sources packages are publically apt-getable. If you run a build daemon, you can ask for access to apt-getable binary packages. Otherwise, just be patient!

Put the following line into your /etc/apt/sources.list:

    deb-src http://incoming.debian-ports.org/buildd unstable main
    deb-src http://incoming.debian-ports.org/buildd experimental main
