Hi,

mips64el has been dropped from Debian testing earlier this year and
isn't supported in trixie, nor in forky. Some of the mips64el cross
toolchain is in a very sore state and we want to remove it from testing.
However, at least via u-boot, these packages are in the key package set.
Can you please stop building mips64el qemu targets for now?

Hi,

There is at least one reason, but there may be more.

u-boot somehow is a key package via d-i iirc.

u-boot build-depends-indep gcc-mips64el-linux-gnuabi64 [!mips64el],
gcc-mipsel-linux-gnu [!mipsel]

gcc-mips64el-linux-gnuabi64 is built from gcc-defaults-mipsen

gcc-mips64el-linux-gnuabi64 depends on gcc-14-mips64el-linux-gnuabi64

gcc-14-mips64el-linux-gnuabi64 is built from gcc-14-cross-mipsen

gcc-14-cross-mipsen build-depends on linux-libc-dev-mips64el-cross

linux-libc-dev-mips64el-cross is built from cross-toolchain-base-mipsen

All of these assume amd64 as native architecture.

Hi Vagrant, Loïc,

Sorry to ping.

What's your take on my request?
