We've been using the builds server to house both source and binary
tarballs that we need in addition to the source code that is checked
into svn. This was originally done because CVS is not so great with
binary files. Now that we are using Subversion I think it is time to
revisit this issue since the current way of doing things has quite a few
problems:

I'm not sure I follow you on the 'problems' list.

* If svn is available, but builds is not, you may be unable to build
chandler

if svn is unavailable, you're also unable to build.

* Tarballs are not versioned

They sure are, look at their names...

* Tarballs are not protected from corruption/tampering when downloading

And svn checkouts are ? how so ?

* Need separate accounts and tools to upgrade and deal with builds

That could be construed as an advantage...

* There are probably other points... :)

As you can see, I'm unconvinced....

Andi..
