Debian unofficial ports are built separately.
As RISC-V is now official, it needs to be rebuilt with the infrastructure that builds all official architectures.
There should be no issues, as the unofficial port is already building over 95% of the Debian package library. Note that Debian is the biggest distribution, so this is no small feat.
In a couple weeks, it should all be sorted, with the official port built to the same level the unofficial port was.
- rwmj 3y agoSure, we also build most of Fedora on a separate build system (http://fedora.riscv.rocks/koji/ http://fedora.riscv.rocks/koji/) so it's a pretty similar situation.
- pabs3 3y agoBy built separately, they meant unofficial ports aren't built by Debian, but by random machines hosted in random places by members of the port team, who often aren't Debian members yet.
