Now, since seems that certain arches do not have enough hw or people which are the workaround to have stuff tested to a minimum in time? - emulate such hardware if you don't own it - use cross-distcc if you have the hardware but takes ages to build or just requires too much power. - use qemu-system or qemu-softmmu if you don't have access to the hw. lu -- Luca Barbato Gentoo Council Member Gentoo/linux Gentoo/PPC http://dev.gentoo.org/~lu_zero -- gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
