Re: MIPS64EL rootfs available for use and test
Anybody can help to test whether the out current webkit workable?
Maybe by install epiphany-browser and use it?
All of my board/laptops are working as build nodes.
If it work, can you reply to
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=124370
and
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=729572
