m68k-build is for m68k builders and related things (hence the name ;).
Many of the m68k builders people are heavily under work pressure and
therefore not able to read this (debian-68k) list.
That's why I crosspost important mails but it would be better when this kind
of mails would also be addressed to m68k-build, 'cos it may happen that I
miss mails.

Uhm, well, actually it is not exclusively necessary to dedicate a buildd to
only this purpose. My buildd i.e. runs some (very low traffic) mailing lists
and a *very* very small innd. It's multitasking, though... ;))
But a 030-25 is not really the fastest machine on earth and every app
running in background will significantly increase build times.
Furthermore a buildd normaly needs a permanent line to enable access from
other developers and it needs signifikant disk space.
Assuming your A3000 does not have much Ram (it seems to be a stock A3000 w/o
accel card), builds on this kind of machine would last *very* long.
OTOH, it would not be the badest idea to have a general accessible m68k
machine for all Debian developers on which they can build/test their
packages on their own... ;-)
