It is possible to get packages installed on the Jenkins slave machines, I have seen several people asking for a bunch of packages on the [email protected] list. The questions would be do those packages exist for Ubuntu and if so what are they, then whether or not they are deemed suitable for install on the slaves. Even if we could get results posted to the notifications list from elsewhere (needs to be from an apache.org address), it would still be nice if could have a single dashboard view of the current build state.
Daryyl Pierce was kind enough to offer to help, but as I had to tell told him it really needs to be a committer so that they can get them access to Jenkins.
