Lately there have been some buildfarm registrations for "Debian
testing/unstable" or similarly described machines. I have kicked back
against these, as the description seems to me to be far too open ended.
Likewise, I also have difficulty with Gentoo because a version there
seems to describe a build system but not any reasonably bounded set of
software. The whole point of classifying buildfarm machines is so that
we can pin down problems to some class of machines, so I'm not really
sure what I should do in these cases that essentially represent highly
mobile targets.
Thoughts?
Well, the one downside to kicking these machines is that we won't get
representation from the varying glibc/gcc combinations. It *almost*
seems that we care more about:
Archicteture
32/64bit (I could be running 32bit on my Athlon64)
GCC version
glibc version
?
