Hi, as some of you noticed there is currently some backlog on both mips architectures. This is due to a couple of reasons, like we have rather aged hardware, and lots of uploads currently. Also some are more specific, like we had one mips buildd which a bad upload connectivity; this is fixed now, but at the price of about 60 hours no buildd which we need to pay. For both mips and mipsel there is new hardware upcoming. For mipsel we have new Loongson 2E machines, but no stable kernel yet (see mails on debian-mips). For mips we have Octeones, but there is some porting needed as well. The new hardware will be faster. If you want to help here, you are welcome - but this is quite mips*-specific of course. (We don't need "more" hardware - we just need to get our hardware alive.) Also please don't ping us because your package hasn't been built yet. We know that about the backlog, but we don't have magic to use here. If your upload is very urgent like an important security fix or needed for a transition, please speak with the security or release team. Cheers, Andi
