No one who owns or administrates an autobuilder should be required to build any package he/she does not want to. Owners of m68k autobuilders "discriminate" against large packages like OpenOffice, XFree86, Qt, and so forth. This is because they have precious CPU cycles that are better spent on other packages, and in the case of XFree86, there is already someone with an m68k box available to compile the package (me). So before you start ranting and raving and bringing Title IX lawsuits against, for example, the m68k porting team, inhale a deep breath of reality. -- G.
