 Me too but not enough for my taste.

 Local server ? I don't know for you but I don't have the bandwidth to be
 a server. And the question about who can clean the mess on the mirrors
 is sadly a old frustration for no-x86 folks. I would not like to raise
 the dust on this (again).

I do have some bandwidth, so I put my locally built packages online. This
has only a few rpms that are not on mirrors, Olivier is doing a good job
on keeping up. It can be used together with cooker/ppc main and contrib
sources.

  RPMS:   http://www.time4t.net/~cjw/mdk-cooker-ppc/RPMS2/
  SRPMS for this: http://www.time4t.net/~cjw/mdk-cooker-ppc/SRPMS2/
  hdlist: http://www.time4t.net/~cjw/mdk-cooker-ppc/Mandrake/hdlist.cz

for apt I use the following line in my sources.list:
rpm http://www.time4t.net/~cjw/mdk-cooker-ppc Mandrake/hdlist RPMS2

 Things will be better now I hope, cooker will be freeze soon. 
 

C'est ce que je sentais arriver et le freeze me parait toujours trop long alors...

Je voulais juste aider si je le pouvais en mettant à contribution les quelques 366Mhz 
de mon ibook. Je voulais aussi savoir si un SRPM qui se compile sans problèmes avec 
toute les parametres par défaut sur mon ordi, est-ce que ca aiderait que je l'offre ? 
Ca fait par exemple des semaines que j'ai un RPM d'évolution-1.3 fonctionnant 
parfaitement. Pourquoi je suis le seul à en  profiter ?

ETK, lachez pas.

 I assume you did check that your mirror is up-to-date, since mdk mirrors
 seem to be having some problems now.

Yeah, I know. And I change frequently and try to find the most up-to-date.
