So I would be glad to donate chunk of RAM and one CPU to PyPy for a slave (or even two). I have couple of questions though: 1. Do builds on FreeBSD provide any value to PyPy? It seems that all FreeBSD slaves are failing and there's no mention of FreeBSD support on download page... 2. How often are builds run on these slaves? Should it be occupied 100% time it might face problems when I'd want to reboot or upgrade it. 3. Who administers them? Will I have to provide root access to this jail to someone or will I need to watch after them myself? Kind regards, Yuriy.
