-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi Andreas,
thanks for the input. I was aware of the procedure, but wanted to avoid having to potentially file removals twice. I think I will add a build time test to confirm the binaries are functional, and then ask ftpmaster to remove only ones that don't build+test successfully after that. If the non-Intel amd64 archs turn out to work anyway, even better :) Cheers Sascha >>> Fine. Feel free to ask ftpmaster for removal of these >>> architectures. >> >> Ok, will do later.
