Moving aarch64-unknown-netbsd to Tier 2 #84475

Open alarixnia opened 3 years ago

alarixnia commented 3 years ago

AArch64 NetBSD (Tier 3) is fast approaching x86_64 NetBSD (Tier 2) in popularity among NetBSD users.

Is there any way we (speaking on behalf of the NetBSD project) can help in moving it to Tier 2? It may be possible to provide access to an AArch64 server for automated builds and testing, for example.

@niacat Our target policy is (finally) about to be documented in the RFCs repo: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2803. From skimming it I think the next step since it's already at tier 3 is to open an MCP in the compiler-team repo: https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/new/choose.

Hey @alarixnia, I'm taking a look^1 into the target tier policy from the perspective of the library team because of a netbsd PR and am interested in getting netbsd's platform support^2 documented. Looking at your comments in https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2803 it seems like you were going to do this a while back but ran into difficulties with the process. Are you still interested in getting aarch64 netbsd moved to tier 2 and if so, can I help?
