Hi Namrata,

we are interested. To be on par with the other architectures we
support, we'd need access to a build machine with 150GB of
disk, 16GB RAM and 8 cores. Host OS Debian stable, root access.

This would be for the Debian/Ubuntu part; the rpm/yum folks have
different requirements. (I'm adding Devrim on Cc.)

Is that something that IBM can arrange?

Last time we tried to set this up the showstopper were unreasonable
legal requirements from the IBM side, we were asked to sign documents
that went far beyond what usual agreements between open source
projects and hardware providers are. Fingers crossed this time. :)
