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