Bug#1103595: RM: kitty [s390x] -- RoM; unsupported upstream

Show all headers | View raw

Control: reassign -1 ftp.debian.org
Control: severity -1 normal

Hello FTP masters,

Please remove kitty from s390x architecture. Upstream has refused
the support for the same, see: https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/issues/8548#issuecomment-2816794626

Thank you.

A removal of this from testing is triggered in 3 weeks and I don't wish to pressurize
anyone to come up with a patch quickly so I am reassigning this bug to ask FTP master
for a removal in s390x.

If at a later point a s390x patch works *and merged upstream*, we can think
about cherry-picking it as a targeted fix.

Yes.

Yes, they should accept it.

I've just uploaded a new release, mostly to fix a pending CVE.
I've added architecture-is-little-endian in git so this
is picked up the next time.
