Checking in would require the build host to run an automatic periodic rsh cvs commit on the CVS host (freefall), I don't know how the powers that be would regard that, but it'd be nice to be able to be able to do a local cvs extract, based on info from an auto. maintained result token file. It seemed Jordan wouldn't find it a problem to find an extra host, at WC, unless I misunderstood; if so I guess it `just' remains to find a volunteer to start config'ing an auto cron driven rebuild host .... :-) Though of course the protoyping could be done anywhere with 2 machines, on or off the net. Maybe somebody wants to add this idea to the list of projects awaiting manpower (or womanpower :-) ? Julian -- Julian H. Stacey jhs@freebsd.org http://www.freebsd.org/~jhs/
