I much often read that people have YeeLoongs and are not able to contribute. When I don't leave the YeeLoong turned off for a month and it builds packages, we sometimes don't have outdated packages that don't fail build or are not ported. You can help without a mips64el machine: - many packages fail on all arches due to changes in other packages, you can fix them in abslibre-mips64el to build on x86_64 - some packages can be crosscompiled or run in a virtual machine, this might be ok for porting e.g. gccgo (using the virtual machine only to run the go programs) - some packages are tools that can run on other hosts, e.g. gold or elfutils We could also offer access to remote mips64el machines, like gNewSense does.
