I could revive some hosts, too, though it would involve some work. But the point is not machines; if they are set up, in general they will keep running (module age issues). The point is how much time we're willing to put in. I'm still interested in getting this hybrid ColdFire thing working, but not if I end up being the only one to work on it again. I'd also need to get a fairly up-to-date environment to work on my coldfire board. > So, when there's a chance to have an up-to-date archive, I would welcome it. > Though, we should consider to not build everything just for the sake of > being able to do so. We should be careful in how we prioritize packages. We should not let buildd hosts sit idle if there are things they might be able to build. Also, adding more computing power is, in general, just a scalability issue. Adding more manpower is something else. -- The biometric identification system at the gates of the CIA headquarters works because there's a guard with a large gun making sure no one is trying to fool the system. http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2009/01/biometrics.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-68k-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
