Hi, I'm an admin of the GCC Compile Farm (3 bi-dual opteron running debian etch amd64): http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/CompileFarm I'd be pleased to create ssh accounts for known maemo contributors on the farm (for free software development only), especially if someone contributes an auto-builder or patch tester (as someone did for GCC). You can send emails and set crontab on the farm machines, as long as bandwitdh usage stays low (no web server / exports). Then may be someone Nokia can get an account to and copy (scp/rsync) built packages meeting their validation criteria to extra (all at the hand of Nokia people). This would provide a common standard building environment and a path to maemo repository without Nokia having the need to open and administrate a build farm and ssh account for non employees. (I can also provide a web server in another data center but that's not the point here :). Let me know if this is of interest for the maemo community. Laurent PS: if you're a free software developper and like to play with various GCC versions on your software you can also get an account, instructions are given on the web page referenced above. _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
