I just ran into this yesterday when debbugging grub on Sparc: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=609733 > I would also be willing to do the neccessary setup myself if someone > provides me with the necessary access to a sparc buildd.

Sorry if I missed something along the way. So how much disk space is needed for building the daily images, why does it have to be on a buildd (i.e. does it suffice to throw hardware at it) and how new/fast does the sparc to be? I do have a bunch of Sparcs at home which are not in use yet, but most of them are Ultra 5 and 10 which should be around 15 years old or older. I also have one dual processor sparc built by Tritec which I haven't setup yet, so I don't know the details about processor speed -- but I got it for free and it has/had Woody installed according to the previous owner, so it can't be very new. (I also have some more 32-bit Sparcs, but I know that _they_ won't help. ;-) If any of them could help I'll see what I can do (which is also mostly a function of time.)-: Regards, Axel -- ,''`. | Axel Beckert <a...@debian.org>, http://people.debian.org/~abe/ : :' : | Debian Developer, ftp.ch.debian.org Admin `. `' | 1024D: F067 EA27 26B9 C3FC 1486 202E C09E 1D89 9593 0EDE `- | 4096R: 2517 B724 C5F6 CA99 5329 6E61 2FF9 CD59 6126 16B5 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
