Re: Debian needs more buildds. It has offers. They aren't being accepted.

Uploading KDE 3.2.0 to unstable isn't the right thing to do when it's
likely to have RC bugs and cause us lots of problems trying to release;
uploading it to experimental doesn't affect the autobuilders in any
way. I don't see why you think blaming the buildds makes any sense.

Even ignoring that, given the s390 build of KDE 3.1.5-2 is failing due to 

] /usr/include/asm/ptrace.h:448: error: syntax error before "s390_fp_regs"
] /usr/include/asm/ptrace.h:457: error: syntax error before '}' token
] In file included from /usr/include/sys/user.h:22,
]                from ../../../../ksysguard/ksysguardd/Linux/ProcessList.c:29: 
] /usr/include/asm/user.h:55: error: field `regs' has incomplete type

things don't seem like they'd be any better with more buildds anyway. And
given that you're presumably waiting on KDE 3.1.5 to go into testing
before uploading KDE 3.2, complaining when it's currently at 13 days
out of 10 required seems a bit premature.

Cheers,
