alpha, hppa and s390 should be there too. Skipping out m68k might be okay, but you should certainly ask and try to get the core libraries built there too. > It's not reasonable to ask a full build of gnome2.6 on the 11 archs.

So ask for help. There are areas where it's reasonable to compromise: you don't need to rebuild every update on every architecture; or build every miscellaneous package on every architecture. But you do need to do a _thorough_ job in prepararing for a major update like this, not whine about how hard it is. > >> - Upload new atk/pango/glib/gtk/theme-engines in unstable > >> [1 day] > > Don't think in terms of just one architecture; your job as maintainer > > doesn't end when you get the stuff into the autobuilder system, it > > ends when everything's in unstable and working correctly for all > architectures. > Who thinks in terms of one arch ?

I can't imagine your five buildds building packages for all eleven architectures somehow.
