I have got buildd working (which is why Lincoln mentions me above). However, I don't upload anything buildd builds - I'm just using it for testing. I will start uploading buildd stuff, if Christian wants me to, and if we get a frozen directory (or if some hacks wanna-build, I suppose). Netgod used to run autocompiles, using a different autocompilation mechanism (is it called dbuild, maybe?). But I haven't heard from netgod for some time on this list. > > BTW, yes 1.4.0.31 is the latest slink.

That's why we need a freeze.
