It shouldn't be too difficult to make a script to
do this, as long as we have some build machines
available.

To make it even better, we could add some reporting
to the build script, that would tell the build status
(succeeded/failed) to the Midgard Web site. This way
we could have a Tinderbox-like functionality.

I was working on a build system like this back in
spring, but never had time to finish it. The system
was written in Python to allow it to be generic
enough to work on all our target platforms, and
accept platform-specific build instructions in a
XML format.

Very good. If you implement this, and have the RPMs
available via HTTP somewhere, I'll then set up a
cron job to mirror the packages to our main server.
