I think we should include Paul Brook in the discussion, as he written a lot of parts of the ARM emulation, and is also active in the Debian ARM port. Anyway I will say that if we can have fast machine (and there are fast ARM machines), it is better than a few not to slow emulated ARM machine. But that machine should be accepted by the DSA. And here is the problem. > How fast is each of your build machines in comparison to existing > buildds? For what I saw they are a bit faster than the Debian build machines. You can expect to have a ARM v5 running at around 350 MHz. And with plenty of RAM (256 MB in my case), so that make a huge difference on some packages. > The offered Hedges machine is more than twice as fast as existing > buildds and really ought to be brought into the network - it has been > offered for about 2 months now.
