This is outside my area of expertese, but I would assume that the buildds don't automatically re-try a failed build. Instead, they'll wait for the package to change, hopefully for the better. Most problems are due to bugs in the package. Automatic re-trying would make sense for problems in the buildds themselves, but those are fortunately pretty uncommon. The thing to do, then, is to figure out what the actual problem is, and then either fix it in the package or ask the buildd admins to re-try the build. > 2) How can I test the packages for these architectures when I dont have > access to machines with these processors? If you're a DD, you should have access to all or most architectures we support. (In theory, all of them, but sometimes we fall short of that goal.) If you're not, then see http://db.debian.org/machines.cgi if there are any machines of the desired architectures that are accessible by non-DDs, or ask here or on one of the architecture specific lists if someone can provide access to one. Or see if there's an emulator available you could run on your own system. -- Maailma olisi parempi paikka, jos kaikilla olisi häntä kertomassa mitä kuuluu. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
