    Hi team,

    I’m currently testing the buster HPPA and Bullseye HPPA install media after a lot of testing and large amounts of frustration I believe I have solved the issues.

    Once I have tested the current installer on my all my machines with out issues I will release them. Please note these are not official Debian Ports install media and will not install Sid.

    The buster release ( Debian Stable) is intended for servers mainly who need stable system software and security updates.

    Bullseye is the testing branch of HPPA and is recommended for all. It is mainly a mirror of Sid with some fixes if needed been made.

    Which one is right for you.
    As the purple-cat media is solely done by myself and is server focused its your best choice for machines directly connected to the internet, as updates are added to the distro regularly.

    Use bullseye if you want to use more current packages. I may do a backport repo if needed.

    I will announce the release of the media soon.

    I

    Out of curiosity, how are you providing the security updates? Have
    you set up a buildd which pulls in the sources from the Buster security
    sources and upload them to a custom mirror?

    Since Debian Ports is building unstable packages only, we can't really
    support releases. We would need an instance of Britney which is the
    testing migration daemon used for Debian release architectures.

    Hi Adrian, I am looking into a more automated building platform. I’ve asked if I could get access to the security and proposed updates but I was declined. I track the releases, Build manually or if there are a large number process them through a script
    I made.

    I would like to have a Britney setup to help with testing as it’s a manual pull to testing from Sid. I will into it, I might need a hand. At this stage with the daemon.

    I will have up 3 pa risc machines to make this work happen. Does Britney need to be hppa as I have some good amd64 Servers.

    I will accept all offers of help. It would be good to see if a bbuild setup for stable and Britney on line I have got a /28 of public ips and I’m eager to have this working the ‘debian’ way.

    Okay, it would probably make more sense then to cooperate with the Debian

    No, architecture doesn't matter here.

    Sounds good.

    Hi Adrian,

    I’ll join the channel on irc. Would be keen in helping getting the testing Brittney daemon up and running and I can provide hardware and internet connections to do so, also wanna-build buildd etc
