I think this is a great idea, although I don't fully understand reprepro nor the work involved yet. If cloudant is still supporting their spidermonkey builds, we should use those, if not, I'd like to re-use their build packages, and point to erlang-solutions OTP builds. This should be a pretty solid arrangement. A+ Dave
