Dear wanna-build team, we (the Debian GNU/Hurd buildd maintainers) would hereby like to request getting added to the official w-b database again. hurd-i386's w-b is currently hosted at buildd.debian-ports.org. For some time now, we have a redundant (albeit para-virtualized) buildd infrastucture with rossini, bach and mozart (on two different Xen servers at different locations), so the port is currently keeping up quite well as far as out-of-date packages are concerned. It has to be stressed that it never actively got removed or rejected from buildd.debian.org, there was just a period of time some 4-5 years ago without hurd-i386 buildds and buildd maintainers after Jeff Bailey stopped working on the port. When I picked it up and setup beethoven as buildd, I contacted James Troup. He was not against adding the port, however, his actions and reactions were so slow that we decided to finally host it at buildd.debian-ports.org when that service started. However, requests to add build logs to buildd.debian.org were denied by Ryan Murray at some time back then. If you agree to a move, we would like merge/migrate/transition the existing w-b database on buildd.debian-ports.org, if possible. The reason for this is that contrary to GNU/Linux ports, there are a lot of failed builds on hurd-i386 and we spent quite some time manually setting the failed and dep-wait states together with meaningful reasons. The current buildd maintainers for the hurd-i386 port are Samuel Thibault (sthibault@debian.org) and Michael Banck (mbanck@debian.org) and we plan to do this job in the future as well on buildd.debian.org if approved. We are glad to provide any further information that would be needed. regards, Michael
