Hi Vagrant,

do you need to be cc:ed?

:-) Thanks for helping on the armhf hardware side! :-)

yes, we either need to make sure to manually build there in future too, or 
setup some autobuilders...

very cool!

yes, we need to make some changes to our infrastructure as well:

- add scheduling for armhf
- have jenkins jobs to prepare pbuilder chroots for armhf on these machines
- add support for building on remote machines
- integrate the armhf build results into the web ui

nice, that should be plenty.

how is the network connectivity? I assume we want to use a proxy, though I 
have no idea whether one for both machines or one on each machine (though with 
20gb diskspace there is not really space for a proxy...)

yes, we need access. Preferedly root/sudo, else user ssh access (account name 
holger for me please) and we need a jenkins users with a quite liberal 
sudoers.d...

I'll send you an ssh pub key in a seperate mail.

Thanks again for your support!

cheers,
