Hi Joachim, How do you manage to build something needing 6GB of RAM on arm machines? We don't have such machine in the farm :). Currently all of our arm machines are offline because they tend to be not stable under load (the farm has 300 users), at least when I last looked. I'm open to advice on how to setup arm machines to be useful for build systems, if you have some Haskell/debian volunteers in France I have a few arm machines around (I'm in Toulouse, and travel to Paris & other cities from time to time). For other architectures just apply for a farm account (send me your ssh public key in attachment, and your prefered unix login).
