E.g.,
* How many free GB should I expect to need on my filesystem(s) to copy
and build?
* Is there a minimum version of SVN required to access this repository?
* Is a FQDN with RDNS required for access or posting of bugs?
* Minimum GCC == whatever Perl5 was built with? or specific?
* Is > parrot/cage/todo.pod in the source tree or elsewhere?
* Is building on Debian 3.0 ("Woody") of any use or practicality?
(Alas, I do _not_ have the Tru64/DEC compiler for Alpha AXP on my
Debian/Alpha. There's someone I can talk to, I might be able to get
it, or get access to it. Hmm.)

My source tree is 70 Mb with Svk, so 150 - 250 Mb should suffice.
> * Is there a minimum version of SVN required to access this repository?
At least 1.0, I expect.

I believe you can post through the web interface.

Probably at least 2.9x.

It's in the tree.

Sure, why not? Alternate arches would be good too.

Alpha would be very good.

Why? IIRC gcc 2.7 was good and stable, and it's not like C89 has changed much
in the past 10 years. I guess it's really down to whether the C compiler
(gcc or otherwise) has awkward bugs on your platform.

Any vendor compiler is very good at picking up sloppy C code. As well as
Tru64, anyone with Irix, AIX, HP-UX, particularly if 64 bit, would be most
welcome.
Anyone got a Cray? sizeof(short) being 8 is always fun for surprising
unwary source code. And something (Amdahl mainframes?) aren't 2's complement.

The MS Visual Studio compilers are also very picky, and that's where I
made some initial contributions.
Alternative compilers on various OS's are also a good place to look for
problems. Intel C++ is on Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X (Intel). The
alpha Sun Studio compiler is available for Linux.

Not as of yesterday. RT appears broken and searches return no
bugs... The official bug submission recommendations are listed here:

RT was upgraded recently. It seems to be working at the moment.
