Re: Aleksey Kravchenko: Declaration of intent to become a DM+account

Hello Mattia,

being also RHash upstream author, I sometimes need access to architectures with strange gcc errors for supporting new RHash algorithms. Actually I've used such access at Debian only once. It seems for now I can manage with cross-compiling.

Since I don't need porterbox guest account now,I will request porterbox temporary access, when necessary.

Let's change application to just DM. How we should do that?

Best wishes,

Aleksey

This is a non-actionable request. You are not explaining why you would
need a guest account.
You'd need to provide an actual reason, together with the architecture
you need it for.

You mention rhash, but that package had a last upload in July 2020 and
built fine everywhere, so I doubt you need porterbox access for that.

Keep in mind that porterbox access is granted on a need-to-have basis,
only for single architectures, and for a limited amount of time.
