Donation request: I am looking for 1 or 2 "very fast" 1u x86 machines (for instance fast-cpu dell r610) so that I can do a refresh of the ports tree amd64-build machines with newer hardware.
The current machines are lagging in performance and I want to improve the build times. The two faster architectures (i386 and amd64) are used to spot build problems in the ports tree very quickly, before other slower architectures see them. The other slower architectures include some rather sensitive machines, though since "all the world is linux running on amd64" is becoming a problem , and therefore they suit that purpose. they act together to catch problems before developers waste time. If anyone can find a way to donate such machines, please drop me a note. thanks.
