Hi guys,
Just a ping to see if you have progressed on this. I've left the AArch*
builders there, and now they're *really* behind (more than 1000 builds
in the queue), and at least one of the buildslaves is offline.
I will temporarily remove the builders now, but it would be really nice
to keep having AArch* builders in our BuildBot.
Thanks a lot,
