Well, this email says that somebody needs some hardware to put a MIPS machine on line. The kind of mail I would have liked to receive, for instance on -devel-announce would be for instance: Example 1: ---------- Hello, this is a message for the MIPS porters. We noted that many package transitions are delayed because of they are not yet build on mips and mipsel. We are really sorry for the inconvenience and we are currently working with the persons responsible for the buildds to find a solution. Example 2: ---------- Hello, this is a message from the MIPS buildd administrators. During the past two weeks, the queue in the machines we are in charge of has been growing, and this is causing delays for the testing transition of the packages of may of you. This was caused by an unusual number of uploads, and we expect that normal operations will resume within three weeks. This kink of peak is exceptionnal and we hope that it will not happen again this year. Example 3: ---------- Hello, this is a message from the MIPS buildd administrators. The Debian archives is growing and our current buildds become undersized for the task: a queue has started to form, resulting in delays for the transition of your packages. We are working on increasing the build power for the mips and mipsel arches, and hope the queue to dissapear within a month. I am really thankful for Tim and Martin to work on a MIPS machine, but currently we do not even know if there is a plan to make it a buildd, nor if the problem is really a problem of load or just an unattended bug, or whatever else.
