Of course you have the right to do it and it is respected. My question was why would you try building on that old hardware not why you would use TDE on the old hardware. I find it boring ... it is like slooooow mooootiooon :) It is just unnecessary power consumption. Same with old card, but they at least cost something (asset). On the PC I use as server I put SSDs few years ago and moved the TDE repo there. With addition of ninja (thanks Slavek) it now builds whole TDE in couple of hours. I build few times in qemu for armel/armhf and arm64 ... it took almost 2 days. -- FCD6 3719 0FFB F1BF 38EA 4727 5348 5F1F DCFE BCB0 ____________________________________________________ tde-devels mailing list -- devels@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devels-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/devels@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
