  • Request for help to support LoongArch architecture in ocaml source

    From zhangdandan@21:1/5 to All on Sat Apr 27 10:40:01 2024
    Dear maintainers,

    Please don't feel bothered by my sudden letter.
    I would like to ask for your help��
    This e-mail is about the support for LoongArch architecture in ocaml source.

    The support for LoongArch architecture has been submitted in ocaml upstream. However, the submission request to support LoongArch is still in open
    status.
    Please see https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml/pull/11974.

    Ocaml 4.14.1-1 version compiled for loong64 in the Debian Package
    Auto-Building environment lacks LoongArch support.
    Please see https://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?pkg=ocaml&ver=4.14.1-1&arch=loong64.

    For the above situation, the current solution is to upload the
    unreleased version for loong64 to the debian ports.
    Please see
    http://ftp.ports.debian.org/debian-ports/pool-loong64/main/o/ocaml/.

    Currently, based on the unreleased version of Ocaml, more and more
    packages (the compilation dependency is ocaml) are being built for
    loong64 in the Debian Package Auto-Building environment and the
    packages' build status are normal.
    The build status for loong64 can be found at https://buildd.debian.org/status/architecture.php?a=loong64&suite=sid.

    At the same time, we have submitted a patch with LoongArch support to
    Debian BTS.
    Please see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1054109.

    We hope the support for LoongArch can be merged into ocaml upstream.
    Could you give us suggestions for promoting patches being merged?
    Your opinions are welcome.

    Thanks,
    Dandan Zhang
