Is there anything blocking this? Is there no > modern mips hardware with a fpu, like we used to have? A first machine with FPU have been installed yesterday in AQL and called mips-aql-06. It has successfully built packages using floating point which failed to build before: - babl is now built in 27 minutes instead of getting killed after 12h due to timeout [1] - chealpix is now built in 10 min instead of getting killed after 12h due to timeout [2] - healpix-cxx is now built in 1h09 instead of getting killed after 78h of timeout [3] In addition it has 4 cores instead of 2 cores on the previous machines, so it builds package with parallel=n faster: - samba is now built in 1h23 instead of 2h37 due to the additional cores [4]. More machines will be installed later so that we have full buildd redundancy.
