That's fine. I think though that your problem is less with the crossqa<br>
service (where you picked the right address) and rather a general cross<br>
build problem. In the latter case, please mail<br>
<a href="mailto:debian-cross@lists.debian.org" target="_blank">debian-cross@lists.debian.org</a> in future even if you end up getting a<br>
reply from me. Thanks in advance.<br>

You are looking at a build from two months ago that suffered from<br>
PAC/BTI flags. It has since been fixed via<br>
<a href="https://bugs.debian.org/1051222" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://bugs.debian.org/1051222</a> in version 1:10.11.5-1.<br>
<br>
I'm not sure why you think this looks bad. The page shows the build<br>
history. An old failure is not bad. To the contrary, what we see here is<br>
a failure that was fixed quickly. I note that you cannot read that page<br>
as a "status". Very often, the information needs to be interpreted to be<br>
useful. Frequently, a cross build failure in one package is caused by a<br>
problem in a different package. The page is not meant for package<br>
maintainers but for cross build porters that have an archive-wide view.<br>

The mariadb problem has all been handled already. If you want to support<br>
cross building in Debian, that's very welcome. I recommend the following<br>
communication channels:<br>
* <a href="mailto:debian-mentors@lists.debian.org" target="_blank">debian-mentors@lists.debian.org</a> for basic packaging questions as well<br>
as simple cross build question.<br>
* <a href="http://irc.oftc.net" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">irc.oftc.net</a> #debian-mentors is the same thing with chat.<br>
* <a href="mailto:debian-cross@lists.debian.org" target="_blank">debian-cross@lists.debian.org</a> for cross build sepcific questions. You<br>
are also encouraged to post your ideas about cross build failures and<br>
proposed patches there to get peer review.<br>
* <a href="http://irc.oftc.net" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">irc.oftc.net</a> #debian-bootstrap for more interactive support regarding<br>
cross building.<br>

I still wonder why you build an old version. Please note that I only<br>
support cross building in unstable, because that already stretches my<br>
capacity. For all other releases, you probably are on your own.<br>
