Hello all,
I originaly sent this email to Ralph Angenendt and he suggested posting it to the devel mailing list.I have had a look at the CentOS distro and noticed that you are looking for a maintainer for SPARC. Whilst I don't have access to a SPARC system as yet I do have access to an AXP (ALPHA) and noticed that the latest build/release you have for this platform is 4.3 and not 4.4 or 5. If you need extra resources to help make the newer releases happen for the AXP platform, I am more than willing to help out where I can.
I work as a systems developer and have a background not only in development but also systems administration which includes building custom toolchains and embedded versions of Linux for various hardware platforms.
Initially I can begin work on producing a AXP release with a SPARC release following once the hardware hits my doorstep. Let me know if you are interested in my offer.
Thanks,
Martin.
We are interested in doing an AXP port ... and we have a rack in a well connected DC in Chicago, IL ... so if we can get a good machine or two there, we can probably make this kind of thing happen.
As far as Sparc is concerned, we do have a machine that and I will be working on CentOS-5.0 for Sparc as soon as CentOS-4.5 i386/x86_64 is out the door.
Thanks, Johnny Hughes
