Hi,

If TNF is not able to host custom build packages, which is ok, community should
help, how much it is in GB?
I don't know what the full size is for e.g. sparc64 packages or x86? It
will be of course for sure less, because I will not build all packages.
No intention (nor hope) to build Firefox or OpenOffice or such on a
SparcStation! It would fail and will be not useful anyway.
I just build some useful tools I need for building (e.g. github,
subversion....) and all its dependencies which are of great use anyway
(cmake, python, perl...) certain take really a lot of build. All
dependencies for GNUstep shall be met (my personal use scenario)
Basic tools which one would expect almost in base distribution: sudo,
gnutls, mozilla certificates. A bare-bones editor like nano. Zip/Unzip,
GNU tar... bash & tcsh
Now I am cutting my teeth on some X11 editors: xemacs compiles and
works! Very very good. I fear gvim and emacs will be heavier and
problematic due to GTK. And ICU... crossing fingers.
I am currently at 98 packages and 204MB. Not that much, but still a lot,
thinking it is native build and should be useful. [*]

[*] up to now, things are quite smooth, in the past I had many more
issues. I wonder why nobody bothered to do an official build run?
