I'm planning to set one up, though it ísn't exactly at the top of my TODO list currently. Most tools are available, the current requirement on ssh I plan to drop (can maybe be merged into the free buildd infrastructure, especially since wanna-build isn't very security-critical, it's merely advisory). If someone else wants to help setting it up, or just doing it, please do contact me. Also people on non-i386 archs who are willing to run a non-free buildd, please do mail. My personal guess is that on most architectures there must be someone willing to offer a non-free buildd, if I notice there is a need for buildd-infrastructure (i.e., people wanting to offer buildtime for non-free, but don't because of lack of infrastructure), I might shift it more to the top of my TODO list. --Jeroen -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar Jeroen@wolffelaar.nl (also for Jabber & MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl
