Thank you for the clarification! Hm, I wonder if there aren't very many mipsel build hosts, or if it's just that they're very slow? If the problem is that there aren't enough, I wonder if it would be useful to write a wiki page linked to from "ways to contribute to Debian" detailing the process of how to repurpose an old router as a buildd host. ;-) Cheers, Nicholas
