Are you refering to the #731806 ?
The main problem is that the 2 new buildd are Niagara machines which are not really stable. It left only 2 buildd which seems to be quit old and slow.Going to 64bit userland is a huge leap forward. For the second one, I wonder. I've been able to run 3.13 kernel on my V240 hardware and I thing it's recent enough. I have no clue why is it marked oldkernel something related to the buildd ?The debian.org sparc machines do not work reliably with recent kernels. That is not sustainable. Cheers, Julien
On my V240, the 3.13 kernel seems to be rock solid (I've been rebuilding the gcc package 3 times - 8hours build - without any issue).
Maybe what's missing is a couple of stable buildd to match the workload. Cheers. Seb
