A 64-bit Build Server for Arch?

fukawi2 · 2009-10-20 05:56:24

What is required by the Arch Dev team in a 64-bit build box? I'm decommissioning my home desktop for a new one. The old one could possibly be made available to the team for building 64-bit packages if it's suitable?

As far as specs go, it's nothing spectacular (hence the upgrade ) but it is 64-bit and it seems to pop up occasionally that some devs has problems accessing 64-bit boxes to build things...

I'm happy to set it up and host it -- I will probably use it as a build server for the ArchServer project anyway.

I do not think we have ever had a dev/TU build machine outside the control of a dev/TU. And I am not sure we would want that (for obvious reasons). No offence intended.

That's cool, I understand that. Figured I may as well ask/offer - the worst that can happen is that it's not accepted

some unofficial repo might be happy.

If someone wants it for building, could probably arrange it... Not suitable for hosting a repo since I've only got 256k upstream connection.
