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 2009 archive signing key will expire at the end of the month. I've created the 2010 one, uploaded it to the keyservers, and it's the one that will start to be used in the next few days.

The key is: 

pub   4096R/4D922A56 2010-01-07 [expires: 2011-01-31]
      Key fingerprint = E3A1 3759 FB59 B641 45A8  6154 F460 A91E 4D92 2A56
uid                  Debian Ports Archive Automatic Signing Key (2010) <ftpmaster@debian-ports.org>

Thanks to the Advalem Technologies, we now have an IPv6 accessible debian-ports mirror in France.

The SH4 port has been added to debian-ports. More details about this port is available here.

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.

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.

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.

The key is:

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

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.

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

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

Due to abuse (an IP downloading a .iso file with more than 220 connections) the maximum number of connections per IP for a .iso file has been limited to 25.

The machine is now accessible through native IPv6.
