Github tracker for PowerPC issues

Github tracker for PowerPC issues

[John Paul Adrian Glaubitz]

Hi,

I just noticed that similar to the issue tracker I created for SPARC [1], there is an
issue tracker for PowerPC [2].

The idea is to track any issues specific to a certain architecture in a central, prominent
location so these become visible to any distribution maintainer and PowerPC upstream developer.

Thus, if you spot a bug affecting PowerPC, please report it in [2].

Thanks,
Adrian

Thanks for sharing this information. However, the issues at 
https://github.com/linuxppc/issues/issues are mostly related to the core 
Linux kernel and toolchain.

For Debian-specific work, we need a separate issue tracker: 
https://github.com/linuxppc/Debian/issues, where Debian-related issues 
can be reported.

I will share the link to this issue tracker shortly.


Thanks,
Trupti

But I’m not talking about Debian-specific issues. Tracking Debian-specific issues happens in Debian.

When I report an issue in the GHC Haskell compiler on PowerPC, it belongs in the existing tracker. Doesn’t it?

That makes sense, thanks for clarifying. I agree, we can use the 
existing issue tracker for this.


Thanks,

Thank you! Debian-specific issue will be reported in Debian.

I'm just tracking issues there that affect PowerPC in general.
