Maybe as starter, if some people have any public binhosts available, |
2 |
some volunteers can try using those to build a (test) system to check |
3 |
how it fares? |
4 |
|
5 |
I have two public binhosts available (with very limited set of packages |
6 |
and very specific CPUs and very weak servers, so please don't crash them) |

https://bsd.ac/gentoo-binpkgs/ivybridge/Packages <--- a bit more up |
9 |
to date |
10 |
https://bsd.ac/gentoo-binpkgs/znver1/Packages <--- not that |
11 |
regularly updated |
12 |
|
13 |
The packages might be about week or two old, am going to setup weekly |
14 |
builds and uploads. |
15 |
|
16 |
Might be better to start making something, and testing things out. If |
17 |
and when things break, we can see how to fix. |
18 |
|
19 |
I'm sure others have more extensive infrastructure and setups than my |
20 |
tiny VPS. |
21 |
If some other people want to give out information about their binhosts, |
22 |
at least some form of trial and error can be started. |
23 |
|
24 |
Thoughts? |
