"Our repository settings doesn't allow us to merge otherwise" <-- then go fix those settings!
#debian experimental now has u-boot-asahi. This together with already available m1n1 and asahi-fwextract you can now run update-m1n1 command and have all the bootloader parts from official debian repos. (Missing kernel and dtbs.)
BEWARE: This is a pure mainline u-boot, missing Asahi tree functionality like: M2 keyboard, multi-(Linux/BSD) booting and some USB parts.
A quick note that the new year started with asahi-audio being accepted inte the #Debian archive and swiftly updated to latest version. This means testing/unstable now has a complete userspace #Asahi audio stack! Still lacking an Asahi kernel in the official archive though, so check out https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Bananas for usable third parties (while we wait for mainlining of kernel parts)!
Another precondition for the #asahi audio stack in #debian on it’s way to unstable with lsp-plugins 1.2.14-1 upload.
rust-wmidi 4.0.10 now uploaded with tests enabled! Thanks to upstream for the quick fixes. This is how #Debian packaging contributes to improving for everyone!
Apart from asahi-audio not being in the archive yet, we also need to take care of #1058672 … then onto actually providing a kernel (and installer) at some point in the future.
Today bankstown-lv2 was ACCEPTED into the #debian archive and I’ve now updated it from 1.0.0 to 1.0.3 as well. Now waiting for asahi-audio to pass NEW and we’ll have the userspace bits of the #asahi audio stack.
3 weeks and counting waiting for #debian NEW processing…. Have been poking at rust-wmidi 1 and rust-lv2-atom 2 in the meantime hoping to make rust-lv2 stack migrate to testing soon.
