Broadcom, who have previously donated a number of fast MIPS development boards to a number of Debian developers, have recently donated two boards to be used as build machines. Branden authorized some money to be spent on more RAM and some IDE disks and these machines are now hosted at Oregon State University. Ryan Murray has installed the machines and is now running buildds on them.
One machine is used in little-endian mode (mipsel) while the other one is building the big-endian mips archive. These are fast machines (dual-core 800 MhZ) and can easily keep up with daily uploads. Broadcom will probably donate two more boards in the near future so we can implement permanent buildd redundancy on both mips and mipsel.
