Subject: [gentoo-hppa] Looking for devs

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for more ppl to help the Gentoo hppa port. You don't need
any particular skill. You just need time, patience and a good knowlegde
about how portage works (which is learned quickly) :)

Most of the work is testing packages. That means testing newer version
of already working packages or apps which where never tested. For the
later, if you can't debug it, that's not a problem. Other devs will help
you to solve the problem.

So, if you feel brave enough, join #gentoo-hppa on irc.freenode.net.
I'll give you more info and some work :)

TIA

My friend installed Gentoo on a 715/75 and it ran just fine (until he
accidentally killed it). The install only takes about 2 weeks from bootstrap...

Hey 2 weeks isn't that bad I guess ;)
I honestly had J Series that I threw in the garbage because I had no drive
sleighs at the time... kicking myself now.
