Hi all,

when I was preparing my small builder for 'R14 preliminary stable-builds' alternative apt source, I did not plan other architectures than i386 and amd64. But then I made a few tests to probe ways to also build both arm architectures. The tests were successful, so they are now available all architectures as on the build-farm.

Given that builds for other platforms are going pretty well, I tried one more experiment. Because I have an older SGI Indy workstation, I tried on my small builder to build packages in addition for MIPS architecture. And experiment has succeeded. With little difficulty is now built 100% packages!

Graphics card on my SGI Indy hardware unfortunately only allows 8-bit color depth, and as I found on this color depth many TDE application crashes - see bug 2033. Attached screenshot is therefore from TightVNC server, where I set a higher color depth. I note that this machine has only 64 MiB RAM, so it is very slow. But it works!

Note: Packages for Wheezy on MIPS are available in my APT source. If someone has a better hardware than my SGI Indy (about 1995), you can try it and let know how it works for you :)
