Debian may drop the SPARC architecture

by
in linux on (#2YR)
Reported by LWN :
As of tonight, there is no more SPARC in testing. The main reasons were
lack of porter commitments, problems with the toolchain and continued
stability issues with our machines.

The fate of SPARC in unstable has not been decided yet. It might get
removed unless people commit to working on it. Discussion about this
should take place on #745938 .
Decisions about the future of SPARC support are discussed here and depend on new possible maintainers.
