Loong64 is now an official Debian architecture

John Paul Adrian Glaubitz has announcedthat loong64 is now an official architecture for Debian, and will bepart of the Debian14 ("forky") release "if everything goesalong as planned". This is a bit more than two years after the initialbootstrap of the architecture.

So far, we have manually built and imported an initial set of 112packages with the help of the packages in Debian Ports. This wasenough to create an initial chroot and set up the first buildd whichis now churning through the build queue. Over night, the currentlysingle buildd instance already built and uploaded 300 new packages.
