It's also worth noting that without someone actively using and/or caring about a platform, it is unlikely to receive the attention it would need in order to remain viable. I.e., not necessarily just hosting a build machine, but also noticing when builds fail and following up to get issues fixed. Even if we could do cross-architecture emulation and get a free license for the OS, we'd still need someone to care about having it working. -Ben _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list OpenAFS-info@openafs.org https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
