1 = Hardware requirements for buildds and porter boxes =
3 This list is not final, and if you have questions, please talk to DSA on #debian-admin on IRC or email dsa@debian.org.
5 == Requirements for individual hosts ==
8 * Out of band management with dedicated network port, preferably a
9 BMC, or failing that, serial console and networked power bars
11 * No human intervention to power on.
12 * Warranty or post-warranty hardware support, preferably provided by the sponsor.
13 * Under the 'ownership' of Debian (a long-term loan can also work).
16 * Production quality rather than pre-production hardware. This can be
17 waived in cases such as when there is no production hardware
19 * Support for multiple drives (so we can do RAID)
21 == Requirements for ports ==
24 * At least two machines to act as buildds.
25 * At least one machine to act as a porter box.
26 * Hosted in two different locations
27 * The machine's architecture has an actively-maintained stable kernel
29 * Packages critical for DSA operations available: puppet, samhain,
30 syslog-ng, ferm/pf, etc.
34 * Hosted in two different legal jurisdictions.
