Re: Bit from the Release Team: Status of hppa

[Németh Bálint <pannonmage@gmail.com>]

Dear hppa gosus,

Unfortunately I cannot offer any coding exp but since my success with the c8000 I tried to use it more and more. From my company I salvaged the following hw that I can offer you for the effort you are putting into this despite debian's decision...

4 c3600
1 c3700
1 c3750
2 b2000
3 c8000 (!) with pa8900 8 gig ram

We could make them online for your purposes or send them to you.

BR

By those measures, sure. However, there are still issues with building
packages reliably - which I believe was the biggest strike against
including hppa in squeeze.

*sigh*

PS: the autobuilder Lafayette is dead, and I see little reason to
replace it with whatever hardware I could muster.

ok - does DSA know?

They do. Their reaction confirmed that I should probably not bother anymore... Also, I'm running short on hardware these days, now that my 2 L1000 are dead ;/
