Re: Bug#796731: freecontact: FTBFS on mips (test suite failure)

Hi mips porters,

could anybody please find a more powerful machine to build the rdepends
libfreecontact-perl and python-freecontact.

Alternatively I would decide to exclude mips architecture for
libfreecontact and its Perl and Python interfaces since I see no point
in delivering a package that does not pass its build time check.

Thanks

       Andreas.
