Hi it's dead Jim. Well, that's what the meeting minutes from the last FTPMaster meeting tell me to write here. But I think the better content would be: As sparc isn't exactly the most alive architecture anymore, not in jessie and unlikely to be in stretch, I am going to remove it from the archive this weekend. (This does not block it coming back as sparc64!) To be even more precise, it will get removed from: unstable experimental jessie-updates new byhand (And their buildd related suites, if any). It will stay in the released versions, that is, I won't (of course) change around oldoldstable/oldstable and related suites for them - there it will simply follow them to archive.debian.org whenever we archive the suite it is in. -- bye, Joerg (23:02) <liw> I should take a photograph of my stapler, the maker of which is "RAPESCO"
