That applies even more so to building thousands of packages in a bulk build ;) > Why aren't arm packages built anymore? Is a hardware donation needed for the > build farm? I used to build them but the N2100 died (and in any event it was quite labour intensive babysitting the build, and took about 3 months to complete). Other people stepped in for the last couple of releases, though not for the last one and knowing how long it takes I didn't feel like asking for volunteers. It might make more sense when there are supported machines that are more suited to running bulk builds.
