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

I also 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 ). > talked to Pasi and he doesn't have the time to "work in" a new person. > But there's still some interest on our side to work on this, though it's > not completely clear, where the hooks and claws are on that build (no > real C confidence over here). 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. >> If you are interested, and have the time to spend this might be >> something you can get involved with ? > > So if that process can be doubled ... > > I don't see much chances though that I could give away user accounts on > that machine, which are reachable from the outside world, as that > machine sits in our server intranet.

And I dont imagine you will have that ADSL-Curse of .4MB/sec upload limit either :) -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219 at icq
