Source: linux Severity: normal Tags: patch Dear Maintainer, As you may be aware, the ia64 architecture has recently been added back to Debian, but now resides in Debian ports. The attached patch should enable the linux package to build the ia64 kernel again. Thanks for your time! -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: ia64 Kernel: Linux 3.14-0.bpo.2-mckinley (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init)

This appears to be almost exactly reverting the change I made to remove
ia64 support, which is not the right thing to do.
You need to actually review the changes that have happened in the 2.5
years since then and update the config accordingly. In particular, the
following symbols no longer exist in Linux 4.15-rc8:
CONFIG_BLK_CPQ_CISS_DA
CONFIG_BLK_CPQ_DA
CONFIG_CISS_SCSI_TAPE
CONFIG_I2O
CONFIG_I2O_BLOCK
CONFIG_I2O_CONFIG
CONFIG_I2O_PROC
CONFIG_I2O_SCSI
CONFIG_MMTIMER
CONFIG_SCSI_DC390T
The commit message for the removal of CONFIG_MMTIMER upstream (commit
07903ada96139ced48f2f893fe57a26a8fbc6043) implies that SGI SN2 systems
are no longer supported, in which case presumably the sn-modules udeb
should also be removed.
Do Itanium systems typically have floppy drives? If not, delete the
"suggests: fdutils" from debian/config/ia64/defines.
Shouldn't the "mckinley" configuration be renamed, since it's supposed
to support later processors as well?
Does it still make sense to build an "itanium" configuration, given how
few Merced systems exist?
Also, do you have any idea whether these bugs have been fixed upstream:
https://bugs.debian.org/679545
https://bugs.debian.org/691576
https://bugs.debian.org/728706
If not, those should be reopened when ia64 is enabled again.
Ben.

Control: tag -1 - moreinfo Control: tag -1 pending I got fed up of seeing ia64 build failures so I've re-added ia64 configurations on the master branch.
