The Debian Build Demons can be inspected on
https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=linuxcnc but only work with the
packages for unstable. So, we can use them but would not get the insights for
the older distributions that I learned LinuxCNC to be used a lot with.

The future for the automated builds? That could be a plan. Problems with that
is that to test if a package works on a distribution you need to upload to that
distribution. And if there then was a problem, you will only find that after
package was uploaded. For unstable that is not too bad, but for backports to
stable, the current buildbot situation may be preferable prior to an upload. We
have the Github autobuilds that help.
We could upload backports of LinuxCNC to Debian stable and see how this works.
Best,
Steffen
