The buildds are no fast machines.
Well, they could change the boxes to use fast machines, i guess it should be no major problem, it is just that i386 users are spoiled by the majority of DDs uploading x86. Also, i guess it can be no worse than arm or m68k buildds, and even on my pegasos i take around 9/10 hours to build the powerpc kernels.

So, you don't risk an explosion of the number of flavours. Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
