RE: sparc lost its binary pakages

Hi All,

If TNF is not able to host custom build packages, which is ok, community should help, how much it is in GB?

Thanks.

I have built over 64 packages now, with some very useful "core" packages like perl, bash, git and subversion, Certain took a day to built, but the good thing it tests the 2x CPU and NFS decently.

But I cannot host myself. Could TNF provide some sort of unofficial space?
