Is there any interest in adding linux-alpha archives to
lore.kernel.org? See https://korg.docs.kernel.org/lore.html for
details.
I don't know whether alpha is still viable. Krzysztof has been
struggling to get a working alpha qemu and userspace working to do
boot testing of some PCI-related changes, and it's pretty hard. But
maybe it's at least of historical interest, since alpha was one of the
first non-x86 ports?
Cc'd you, Eric, since you've done recent alpha fixes and apparently
have a bootable qemu-system-alpha:
https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-alpha/msg07206.html
I don't have any of the old archives myself, but
http://marc.info/?l=linux-alpha and
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-alpha/ both seem to work.

If Krzysztof has any patches for testing available, I'm happy to give those
a spin on any of my Alphas. I have various AlphaStations available (233,
433au, XP1000 as well as a DS-20E and an ES-40).

FWIW, I haven't had any issues installing Debian unstable inside qemu-system-alpha
with the images I am regularly creating for Debian Ports:

Let me know if you run into any problems.
Thanks,

Yes, that would be nice!
