Assuming I could find/maintain a couple of VMs to build kfreebsd sid, how exactly could the .debs be uploaded to ftp.d.o? Are they simply uploaded with ftp/scp along with a .changes/.buildinfo, just like a binNMU or source package upload? Would the buildds need their own GPG keys, added into some keyring also? That's possible even for non-DSA maintained buildds? Thanks, Regards, -- Steven Chamberlain ste...@pyro.eu.org signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Hardware resources shouldn't be a problem: I'm fairly sure the buildds were VMs anyway. >>> As kfreebsd-* are probably never going to to be release architectures >>> due to systemd, maybe it is better to move the port to debian-ports. >> >> Wait!

Also, certain > sets of packages will not work properly without systemd. kFreeBSD could have chosen to use another default init system. I don't think there is any requirement for this to be the same everywhere. The main problem was that there wasn't anyone willing / having time to commit to kFreeBSD as far as I remember; not much will happen if that is the case. (Hurd was never a release architecture either, though I wouldn't be surprised if someone was trying to blame systemd for that too ;-) ) Ansgar
