Ben Collins was looking into this but I don't know about the status. I've also heard discussions several months ago about using one of Ben's really fast machines. This is based on what I've heard at some point and may not be accurate. I'm CCing Ben so he can comment. If we do need auric and if we need resources to fix the RAID, Debian can make funding available. > - kubrick: disk is dead I doubt it's worth resurrecting this machine (it's a Sparcstation 10 only). > - vore: I think it's acting as a buildd Yes. > BTW, couldn't we get our acts together and buy new disks for all those > poor machines which disks are dead ? If there is demonstrated need to get those machines going again, I'm more than happy to authorize Debian funds to be used for this. > That would resurrect quite a few machines, including an alpha buildd > (escher). I'm CCing Thimo Neubauer who is in charge for escher. What I said above applies to escher as well. Thimo, can you let us know what the status is and whether it would be good to have escher back? BTW, Noah Meyerhans at MIT has two fairly large Alpha machines he can bring up, but so far we've been told they are not needed. -- Martin Michlmayr [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
