The trite answer is "because the build log was never uploaded to the server". The reason the build log was never uploaded to the server is that elilo is built & uploaded on ia64 rather than being built by a build daemon. Humans (even Bdale, the elilo maintainer) don't tend to send their build logs to the buildd server. -- "Next the statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting the blame upon the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." -- Mark Twain
