[Guillermo Ballester Valor <gbv@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I'm Guillermo Ballester Valor. I began many time ago to write my own rpms (for 
suse distro). First it was for fun, then I asked me whether those rpm could 
be useful for others and so I create my own apt repository.

This was first hosted in my own home computer. Because I built many popular 
rpms ( amsn, amule ...) my narrow ADSL bandwith began to be saturated and I 
asked for help in the suse list. 

Hapily, I receive help from two persons, one was Radu Voicu who is mirroring 
my repo at 

ftp://ftp.ploiesti.rdsnet.ro/pub/mirrors/ftp.oxixares.com/rpms

and the other was the team Richard Boss /Eberhard Moenkeberg who offered me 
the possibitlty to create a repo in gwdg.de site. And 'suser-gbv' repos start 
its life.

I would like to build rpms for X86_64 but I can't at the moment because I 
haven't access to a x86_64 system. I have planned to buy one many times but 
always found other better (and urgent) way to spend the money, you know.  

At this point, I'm wondering whether SuSE/Nowell can give access to some 
suser's to build the rpms in any of its machines. I'm not sure about the 
posibility to do that  without root access, but I would be a big help for 
some of packager guys (as me). I'm not suggesting a compilation farm, which 
is oriented to the development. I'm meaning some rpm-builder machines. This 
would have also the advantage to build in machines with standard 
configuration/packages in it. 

What do you think?

Guillermo
