 There is one alpha porterbox available:

 http://db.debian.org/machines.cgi?host=albeniz

 It is listed as public rather than developer only so as a non-DD you
 would probably be able to get access. Please contact the Debian
 sysadmins about it.

BTW for new debian port could we ask to have a qemu port functionnal ?
HPPA and alpha are not emulated and it is a real pain to debug this
kind of stuff, particularly if you are often offline like me.

That would IMHO be a rather hard requirement for small benefit, as (that's 
one reason, there are others) qemu can hide issues: e.g. I had an armel 
segfault during a build that was not reproducible in a qemu instance, only 
on a real machine.

Having qemu support can be very useful, but it's far from being the holy 
grail for porting to exotic architectures. IMHO…

One more thing you could try: Around this time last release, I found the 
#gentoo-alpha community quite helpful (on irc.freenode.net).

libexplain: need access to debian alpha machine

2010-08-16 Thread Peter Miller
Hi Folks,

I'm trying to get my libexplain project [1] to build on Debian alpha.
I don't actually have access to an alpha machine, so my feedback loop is
via the Debian build farm [2]... one fix per release.

This isn't completely satisfactory.  Can anyone suggest a dev machine I
can ssh to, and do the edit-build-test loop more efficiently?
