[arch-ports] [ppc] Buildd looking for a new home
Hey ppclers, for a bunch of reasons we are in need of a new build machine as we used to have with hammurabi, may its soul rest in peace. Now that it is going to be used for other things by the owner Benoitc, we are looking into finding a new one. Thanks Benoit, for providing us with the service for so long! Since most of us have iBooks and/or rather crappy internet uplinks or no direct access to PPC machines at all from home - like me at the moment - we are looking for a machine with specs similar to those: G4 500mhz + 512MB RAM + (1G prefferred) 40GB HDD + DSL/Cable connection of which we may use 128kbit/s upstream and it would be nice to have around 1mbit/s down. The system has to be a install of base/ with openssh, apache & rsync. The rest is optional and will be set up by us. Maintainance is also done by the devs unless we really need hands on support. Users on the machine will only be devs of archlinuxppc. Everytime there is going to be a new account, we will contact you. In return we cannot to much but mention you or your company on our website. This is a no-budget project after all. :) Thanks for paying attention to all safety instructions. We hope you enjoyed the flight. -Z
Hi, I have a Mac Mini that I'm willing to offer up to the cause. I'd like to see Arch on PPC and I'm not using the machine for much. It currently only has 256 MB of ram but I'm willing to upgrade it to 768 MB of ram as thats only a 40 dollar upgrade. It is a 1.25 GHz G4 w/ a 40 GB hard drive. If the team is interested, please let me know and I'll look into purchasing the extra ram for it. As a side note I am interested in working on developing Arch for PPC so if there's anything I can do to help, please let me know. Regards, Zac Brown Alexander Baldeck wrote:
