Hello! I was just pointed towards this mail and wanted to give a quick heads up! The original claim in the first mail is not accurate. While Debian has stopped supporting alpha **officially**, we are still supporting alpha in Debian Ports. In fact, Debian has more stable and working ports than Gentoo with many of them team-maintained by the Debian Ports team. For an overview of the currently supported targets, see: > https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=base-files&suite=sid All architectures build the vast majority of packages without problems and alpha is actually one of the healhiest ports with over 90% of all packages being built: > https://buildd.debian.org/stats/graph-ports-big.png Please do not drop support for alpha in util-linux. To get in touch with us, we're hanging around in #debian-ports on OFTC. Adrian -- .''`.
