ARM catch up project

I start ARM catch up project.

We know, ARM official buildd overworks to solve daily build. I heard this was because some machines were under network topology trouble. It sounds easy to solve, but we haven't seen any good news since some weeks ago.

I don't believe I can be accepted as official buildd team near future (I tried), so I decided to build packages personally as same as ARM official buildd's doing.

As first step, I prepared wanna-build server. This database is similar with official wanna-build, but its priority order is just reverse of official.

Official buildd builds packages which have higher priorities, my buildd builds packages which have lower priorities. When my buildd reaches official one's level, I'll shutdown my wanna-build and buildd.

The thing I need to work more is to prepare Web page like http://buildd.debian.org/. Hmm, where can I get its source?

RMs always say our major problems are 1.libc6 (solved!), 2.missing t-s/t-p-u (hmm, who work on it? Can I help you?), 3.arm delays. I think my work progresses to solve #3 problem.

Great!

I'm glad to hear you're tackling the ARM problems.
