Duplication (of builds) is prevented by using the same wanna-build database. Each buildd runs wanna-build --list=needs-build and jots down the first ten or so packages. If any of these turn out to be taken by someone else when it gets around to checking them out, too bad, print a log message and proceed with the ones that were taken successfully. > more people root on voltaire is something I would want to avoid if > possible, obviously. Fine by me. Changing files and scheduling a retry isn't strictly legal anyway :-P But write access to the database is a matter of being in the voltaire group, right? postgresql built fine on my Lombard and has been uploaded to pandora in the meantime. Is there a debian-devel-powerpc-changesd list to send announcements to from dupload? Michael
