Hi,

If you can't find a place to host yor machine, we have CPUs that can host
the buildd fonctionnality. My lab is located in France.

I'm not a Debian developer, but occasionnaly gnat packages for powerpc are
build on one of our machine (an openpower 710 or a dual G4).
May be there is a debian developer in my university that can help me to
manage this task.

Now, I'm acting as deputy group leader for the computing group in a
nuclear physics lab in Paris area. If you are interrested I can ask my
administration to grant me permission to do so.
