Loong64 is now an official Debian architecture

John Paul Adrian Glaubitz has announced
that loong64 is now an official architecture for Debian, and will be
part of the Debian 14 ("forky") release "if everything goes
along as planned". This is a bit more than two years after the initial
bootstrap of the architecture.


So far, we have manually built and imported an initial set of 112
packages with the help of the packages in Debian Ports. This was
enough to create an initial chroot and set up the first buildd which
is now churning through the build queue. Over night, the currently
single buildd instance already built and uploaded 300 new packages.
