I personally disagree: - it's an ugly workaround - it's hiding problems (s390 failures) - there is no good reason to not support s390, so your removal request might even be rejected (I don't know of course what would really happen, I cannot speak for ftp-master of course). - it adds extra workload to ftp-master, which is unnecessary - it means two extra unnessesary uploads, causing extra load on the buildd's, again, quite unneeded --Jeroen -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] (also for Jabber & MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
