We are actually set up ok on amd64 machines right now (incremental package builds take just over a day). We are in the process of adding some more i386 machines (it is a matter of configuration; however, most of these are not really powerful machines). This should help get the incremental builds down from 3-4 days to 2-3 days. We also have some sparc64 machines that are on loan to us, which I am also in the process of configuration, but these are only UltraSPARC-II machines. There seems to be some work going on right now to get us running on US-III machines; if so, then it would be handy to get some of them. In the meantime, sparc64 package builds take more than 2 weeks :-( mcl
