[debian-mysql] Bug#970043: Request to help test ia64 build for galera-4

[Otto Kekäläinen]

Thanks Frank and others!

I appreciate your assistance in testing the build. I will proceed to
merge this before the next upload then.


I just wanted to add here the regular Debian Developer's point of
view: after every upload of every package I maintain, I always check
the buildd status, investigate all build failures and try to get them
working. As long as ia64 is among the build targets[1], I feel it is
implied that DDs should try to get the build working. I have been
sending bug reports to upstream and they have helped several times in
making modifications to the source code to make all builds pass.

If you some day in the future think that ia64 work is not valuable use
of a regular DD's use of time, I'd appreciate seeing some announcement
on debian-devel@ for example so that I and others know that we should
invest our limited Debian time in other things.
