    Source: dpkg
    Version: 1.21.22
    Severity: normal

    Hello!

    In order to be able to add loong64-specific changes to source packages, the dpkg version on the
    infrastructure servers, in particular DAK, needs to be able to recognize loong64 in d/control.

    Since the servers are running oldstable and stable and loong64 support was only added to dpkg
    1.22.0, I would like to ask for loong64 to be backported to the dpkg version in oldstable and
    stable.

    Thanks,
    Adrian

    Hi Guillem!

    was only added to dpkg 1.22.0,

    This was introduced in dpkg 1.21.10, reverted in 1.21.19 and reintroduced
    in 1.21.21, but that was after the 1.22.x series had already been branched (so it got cherry picked from git main at the time, and that's why it
    looked like it got introduced only in 1.22.0).

    Thanks, I wasn't aware of that.

    I would like to ask for loong64 to be backported to the dpkg version
    in oldstable and stable.

    I guess I could backport it to dpkg 1.20.x for oldstable, but if the
    infra servers are going to be upgraded soon (at least out of oldstable
    to stable), then perhaps there's no point in bothering the release-team
    with this?

    From the discussions on #debian-devel it seemed that the servers are not going to be upgraded anytime soon, so having this patch backported to oldstable would definitely help speed things up.

    Thanks,
    Adrian

    Ok then, I'll prepare an oldstable backport and send a request to the release-team later today.
