Hi there,

This is a small announcemente to let you know that I have disabled
e-mail notifications for a few builders.

All of the Fedora-ppc*-* builders:

Fedora-ppc64be-m64
Fedora-ppc64be-native-gdbserver-m64
Fedora-ppc64be-native-extended-gdbserver-m64
Fedora-ppc64be-cc-with-index
Fedora-ppc64le-m64
Fedora-ppc64le-native-gdbserver-m64
Fedora-ppc64le-native-extended-gdbserver-m64
Fedora-ppc64le-cc-with-index

All of the Debian-s390x-* builders:

Debian-s390x-m64
Debian-s390x-native-gdbserver-m64
Debian-s390x-native-extended-gdbserver-m64

I have also removed them from the list of Try Builders, so if you use
the try build, please update your config file. An updated list can be
found here:

<https://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/BuildBot#Available_Builders>

I took this decision after noticing that these builders have been
lagging behind for quite some time. Some of them have more than 900
queued builds!

I've been talking with Edjunior Machado about the PPC64* machines.
Unfortunately it appears that Minicloud, the project that provided the
machines, is going through some difficulties right now. We're now
investigating the possibility to move these resources to the GCC Compile
Farm.

As for the s390x machine, I haven't had the chance to investigate
further what is happening.

I would like to take this opportunity to invite more people/companies to
join our BuildBot effort! There's always opportunity for improvement,
and we're always looking for more machines and architectures to add to
our infrastructure. If you have interest, please get in touch (in
private) with me and we'll get the ball rolling.

Thanks,
