ARM64 debian package

[Nardol]

The Mosquitto project Debian repository does not provide ARM64 package and official Debian repositories provide a quite outdated version even for Debian testing.

I know #815 was opened and the only solution is to compile from source. But could it be possible to add ARM64 architecture to http://repo.mosquitto.org/debian repositories? Or to update it for Bullseye on Debian itself or if not possible, update it for testing then create a package for bullseye-backports.

May I suggest to maintain this package in pkg-iot debian team

https://salsa.debian.org/debian-iot-team

I see this file is not sync with debian archive

Bump, I'd like to help to fix:

Feedback welcome

@rzr Thanks for the bump. I'd be very happy for the pkg-iot team to take over maintaining mosquitto in Debian. It doesn't help specifically with providing arm64 support in repo.mosquitto.org, but would definitely take a load off.

Excellent, let me prepare the work, maybe I'll need you and your sponsor to make a last upload as maintainer, let's keep in touch.

Do you have a git history of current package, I didnt see in the public tree:

OLD: VCS is behind the version in the archive: 2.0.8-2 < 2.0.11-1.2.

https://qa.debian.org/cgi-bin/vcswatch?package=mosquitto

Mean Let me try to rebuild the current release using gbp (I'll rebase later)

[ralight]

I don't have the git history, sorry, just the uploaded versions.

[rzr]

Ok no problem I have sorted it out

Please review and let's cooperate at:

https://salsa.debian.org/debian-iot-team/mosquitto/-/merge_requests/1

Meanwhile for ARM64 packages It seems to build:

I am also reachable as rzr at:

Is it ok for you that I follow the ITS procedure as explained at:

https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/pkgs.html#package-salvaging

Nitpicking: May I suggest @ralight to export key to suppress this warning:

I: mosquitto source: public-upstream-key-not-minimal has 6 extra signature(s) for keyid 779B22DFB3E717B7 [debian/upstream/signing-key.asc]
N: 
N:   The package contains a public upstream signing key with extra signatures. The signatures are unnecessary and take up space in the archive.
N:   
N:   Please export the upstream key again with the command:
N:   
N:    $ gpg --armor --export --export-options export-minimal,export-clean
N:   
N:   and use that key instead of the key currently in the source package.
N: 
N:   Please refer to the uscan(1) manual page for details.
N: 
N:   Visibility: info
N:   Show-Always: no
N:   Check: debian/upstream/signing-key

Then I'll pick it from upstream (here) to debian-iot

By the way remaining warnings are:

Now running lintian mosquitto_2.0.15-1_amd64.changes ...

Let's me jump to this generic issue, and keep this one for specific arm64 debs
