If it is, and it's not as fast as the The autobuilder is currently running on lully, which is more capable than any of the other alpha machines available.

ARM and powerpc still seem to > suffer from a lack of developer-accessible machines, however. arm has one developer accessable machine rameau, running potato. There is insufficient disk space for chroots for general use. debussy has the available hardware, but has not been returned to the colo for several months now. powerpc has one developer accessable machine voltaire, running sid. There isn't enough space for chroots for general use, but given that it runs sid, it isn't that much of a problem. Additional arm machines can be accessed by contacting pb, the port leader, an additional alpha is available by contacting rkrusty. -- Ryan Murray, Debian Developer (rmurray@cyberhqz.com, rmurray@debian.org) The opinions expressed here are my own.
