Aurelien, what's the time frame on this? If the DPL is agreeable
would we be looking at the near future for this?
We have possible solutions, I hope to be able to get that working within
the next two weeks, but it will also depends on the chosen solution and
the time I am able to invest on this. I'll keep you inform when it's
ready on the debian-ports.org side.
In the meanwhile, you can already prepare a few things on your side:
- A place/way to fetch all the .deb that have to be import with the
corresponding .changes.
- List of persons who need to have access to the wanna-build interface.
If some of them are not DD, please also provide mail/login/ssh key.
- List of persons who should be able to upload packages to the archive
with the corresponding GPG keys (that should include buildds
maintainers)
- List of emails to be used as a contact point for alpha/hppa buildds
and alpha/hppa related things.
- List of buildds with their IP, SSH key and mail address.
Also if some people would like to help with the machine administration,
please let me know.
