New sparc64 porterbox available

[John Paul Adrian Glaubitz]

Hi!

After a long time since the previous sparc64 porterbox went offline since
it had to move out of the data center at my old university, I am happy
to announce that a new sparc64 porterbox is now available.

The porterbox is a virtual machine (LDOM) hosted on a SPARC T4-1 with 96 GB
of RAM and more than 500 GB of disk space (I hope we will be able to increase
the available disk space in the near future). Hosting is kindly provided by
Cononva Communications GmbH in Salzburg, Austria.

I have already verified that creating a chroot works as expected and I could
test-build a package without any issues, so I am confident it should work for
everyone else.

For questions and problems reports, please drop me an email or join 
#debian-ports
on OFTC IRC network.

Thanks,
Adrian

New sparc64 porterbox

[James Clarke]

Hi,

Some of you may have noticed that the existing sparc64 porterbox,
notker.debian.net[0], has been unavailable for the past few months. As a
result, we have commissioned a new porterbox, sakharov.debian.net[1], kindly
hosted by Anatoly Pugachev, available to all DDs.

The machine is set up to closely mirror many aspects of the standard Debian
porterboxes, so you can use the usual dd-schroot-cmd workflow as described on
the Debian website[2].

Please note that this machine should be used to debug issues, and not to
perform binary uploads to the debian-ports archive in place of the build
daemons. The debian-ports archive has its own independent restricted keyring
and so any attempted uploads will be rejected.

If you have any issues or questions, please feel free to contact myself or
cbmuser on IRC (we dwell in #debian-ports), or via mail as listed in [1].

Thanks for your future porting efforts!

Regards,
James
