Re: Fwd: Mips porter boxes

["Wesley W. Terpstra" <terpstra@debian.org>]

I'm looking for a mips and mipsel box with 1GB+ of memory to port the mlton package. The porter boxes are both dead for these architectures. Are there alternatives?

Is this the right list to ask in?

Also, rem.debian.org needs to black list the mlton package. Once I've finished the port this buildd will fail to build mlton since it lacks 1GB of memory.

For this question you'd better contact the porters for access to a mips*
machine.
