By consulting the central database on auric for what packages need to be built, and registering packages there in case your buildd takes them for building. Overview of the buildd operation: http://m68k.debian.org/buildd/index.html Just noticed I forgot to forward logs to auric the last two days. In case someone wants to check the state of his/her package on powerpc, consult http://michael.biophys.uni-duesseldorf.de/buildd/ please if no logs are found on auric.
