Dear all,

any news from this potential mips(el) buildd? The current buildd are  
not
keeping up and this is causing trouble to all the teams who are  
concerned with

the migration to testing of their updates.


Sorry, this is partly my fault.  I have two mipsel machines for Debian  
which I need to rack up and get installed, but work pressures have got  
the better of me lately.


As an aside to this, if anyone has (or knows where I can obtain)  
proper rack mounting kits for the Cobalt RAQ2 system, I'd be most  
grateful.

This is constructive. I can only speak for the security buildd network, but
redundancy in the buildd admins increases the responsiveness in which problems
are fixed by a great deal and is highly important.

Don't understand what you're trying to say here. My point is that apparently 
we _had_ buildd redundancy at some point, but have lost it for some reason.
To me that indicates a problem for the project, especially when it turns out 
that the remaining buildds are incapable of keeping up by themselves.

 I think you'd better look at db.debian.org/machines.cgi to have an idea
 of the current status...

I can see the current status fine on jvw's buildd pages: those three arches 
only have a single active buildd listed when they're supposed to have two.
Also, restricted does not really tell me what the exact purpose of a 
machine is.

Ah, my mistake. I totally missed that this was about a porter machine.
So we do still need a backup/second buildd for alpha...

primary buildd fails.  So just looking at jvw's buildd pages might not
be enough, unless it displays inactive buildds as well.

(mostly considering alpha here, as apparently mips/mipsel indeed do not
have redundancy right now)
