Hi Ralph,
this is good stuff, we should just a wiki section started on this I think.

A few weeks should be ok, its not something that is effecting us this
much, Also Pasi mentioned dropping it at the end of the 4.3 cycle (
which is still a month+ away ).

What we need to do is get the h/w setup at a central space where someone
( even if its just the one person who has physical access ) can build
on. Apart from that once the CentOS4.3/sparc is setup on the machine I
am sure we can all pitch in and help out.
I suppose whats critical here is that we get a few people involved right
from the start.

thats not a problem, I think there might be enough machines locally that
people could contribute from off-site, as long as there is some means (
we can setup whatever is required ) to get code over into the
buildsystem and built + scp'ed out.
And I dont imagine you will have that ADSL-Curse of .4MB/sec upload
limit either :)
