Hello,

I have access to a PA-RISC machine running HP-UX 11.11. Unfortunately
the machine is on a dedicated network and has no Internet access.

It should be possible to create a mirror of the CVS repository on my machine
(which has access to both the Internet and the dedicated network) so that
the HP-UX server could get the sources from my machine.
But I am not sure whether the results could be reported back to the buildfarm.


Cheers,
Adrian Maier

I think I'll be able to set up my HP-UX 11.11 box here, as soon as it gets
fixed, and assuming either the bundled compiler will work or I can get
GCC on it.

This will take a week or 2, but I have permission now.

(This box can get out to the internet via our proxy).

The buildfarm has support for reporting via a proxy server. An
appropriately configured instance of squid on the same machine that has
the CVS mirror should do the trick. Look for BF_PROXY in the buildfarm
config file.

If the bundled compiler is still the same non-ANSI-C weakling that was
bundled in HPUX 10, there's no chance. It would be great to have a
buildfarm member using HP's real ANSI-spec C compiler though.
I still do a lot of my own development on HPUX 10 + gcc, so I'm not
particularly worried about lack of that combination in the buildfarm.

Looks like we are a DSPP member, so I might be able to get the aCC bundle
for free, and if so, I'll set it up with that.

Thanks,

One I see as missing right now is Solaris 10 X86 with gcc building 64bit
binaries (we have more than one member building with SunStudio 11)
