It's actually 99% Roman's work, I just pimp it to others. Also it is actually i386 it syncs with and not source; this is probably a bug in the design of quinn diff and something I should fix. Some other random comments which may or may not be relevant: the build daemon's don't like intermittently network connected machines; it really needs permanently connected ones. And thanks to the scalability of the build daemon (i.e. you can have 1, or 100, it doesn't make any odds as far as the other build daemons or wanna-build are concerned), raw computing power is rarely the issue (even on m68k, where we only have 2 of the slowest m68k machines around doing auto-compilation). The problem is usually all the packages which don't compile cleanly from source and have to be fixed. I am afraid not even Roman can fix that for us ;-) -- James
