I can also host a buildd at home, no restrictions AFAICT. Administration can be handled remotely by a DD if I'm not able to do the job properly and/or I'm not being trusted. I can't participate with a hardware donation, unfortunately, with three grown-up children and a chronically ill wife on my neck. > I just read jcristau's mail: I don't see the difference between running > buildds for jessie-kfreebsd and sid.

Or they need the machines for some other services. >> As kfreebsd-* are probably never going to to be release architectures >> due to systemd, maybe it is better to move the port to debian-ports. > > Wait!

My impression was that the release team would not bless an architecture if it doesn't use the default init system. Also, certain sets of packages will not work properly without systemd. > I wonder what is exactly needed to run a buildd wrt. to the host > operating system. Does it need to be a "stable" Debian? Apparently no as that would rule out GNU/Hurd. There's no stable release for ia64 that is being resurrected/bootstrapped at the moment.
