As Cyril Brulebois was the only one to even answer, I inferred that the other persons behind sparc@b.d.o and all the subscribers on debian-sparc don't seem to be interested. My bad. After having more information I have now reworded the text to: Due to the lack of buildd suitable buildd machine there are currently no daily builds for the SPARC architecture. These builds will be reenabled as soon as as a suitable machine is available. It was never my intention to offend anyone or to spread "FUD".

I thought that the correct contact point would be the sparc buildd admins because the setup needs access to the buildd and I expected that the persons having this kind of access to be the buildd admins. I thought that the wb-team is involved with managing the wb database which is not used for the d-i daily builds. > > and I did tell on #d-boot the following on Nov 13 2010: > > [...] > 15:27 < trave11er> ok, we didn't get any reply from stappers, so sparc > dailies still have the old kernels, afaict > [...] > 15:31 < otavio> trave11er: buildd people were going to put sparc into it > 15:31 < otavio> trave11er: dunno if it has been done > 15:31 < otavio> adsb: ^? > [...] > 15:33 < phil> otavio: "were going to" is quite untrue.

IMHO IRC is not a good medium to communicate important information to a team. It's to easy to forget something and the information never reaches all the involved persons. As I'm very rarely on IRC I missed this communication. Gaudenz -- Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better. ~ Samuel Beckett ~
