I suppose this answers why crest never seems to be caught up on logs
these days. I dropped Adam an email a while back, but I never heard from
him. I suppose that means a4000t is gone for good too?

I think one of us needs to become primary on crest. Any volunteers? :)
Well, I'd love to help out with oldstable and oldstable-security, if that
would mean becoming primary, secondary or whatever on crest and taking care of
all suites, so be it. Though there might be better candidates?
Just to confirm that my offer to help out still stands. Please take care of
oldstable and oldstable-security or let me help.
I'm all for it. I'd rather not take on another buildd, atm. :)

What do you say Michael?

Seconded. I can't take more buildds, either. I'll try to sort out the
assignment of chroots to releases first, though.

For unstable crest is doing fine IMHO, though it's not used for oldstable(-security) as it only builds packages for a suite when needs-build > 10.

If I want to interact with wanna-build for m68k, am I supposed to use crest's access to wanna-build or should I be added (centrally) to the wb-m68k group? If the latter can someone that has already group membership ask for my inclusion?

I noticed some things which could need some buildd maintainer action on at least thing2, evolvotron, zeus, vivaldi and poseidon. All the mentioned hosts have some packages in Uploaded for more than the usual time. The trick is to remove the corresponding .upload files in their upload directories to try to reupload the packages. If that still fails, there is probably a more severe problem (might be a REJECT due to file corruption or something similar).

It would also be a good idea to look at the Failed/Maybe-Failed packages for packages that failed because of chroot problems (linux-kernel-headers -> linux-libc-dev, ghc maintainer script mess) or timeouts (after 15 minutes of no output) for the buildd you maintain.

Probably it would also be a good idea to revisit the packages in Dep-Wait and Failed altogether...

If possible, please fix this problems (feel free to ask for more information) or provide me access so I'm able to fix them.

Thanks.

Luk

PS: I'm currently not doing any porter work (for instance bootstrapping toolchain packages or working to get the Coldfire fixes), though when I could get access to the needed hardware and support (possibility to ask for possibly dumb questions), I would consider to help...
