To be honest, I find the rapid release model for glibc a bit annoying as a downstream. Upstream projects which adopt this model and then require constant attention from porters cause lots of stress for the less common architectures. There are other upstream projects that want attention as well and at some point it just will get extremely frustrating. Is such a rapid release model really needed for something like a C library? As for the testsuites: Adhemerval has gotten access from Debian to a number of porterboxes for the various uncommon architectures, including alpha, hppa, powerpcspe, sh4 and sparc64 and we're happy to give out accounts to anyone interested. And since Debian regularly updates glibc as well, you can get most testsuite runs also by just checking the build logs (click on the green or red texts): > https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=glibc&suite=sid Note: Testsuites for sh4 and m68k are currently disabled.
