Hi Butch
Individual consolidations that form OpenIndiana distribution are using
different build systems. Some consolidations are available in binary
form only.
I propose creating a unified infrastructure on top of all build systems
so that full or incremental builds of the whole OS could be done with a
single command.
I don't have much experience with continuous build systems but I suspect
such infrastructure could be used with something like Hudson/Jenkins. I
am sure Jenkins can start make command after noticing a change in the
version control system.

Please overlook my ignorance on this topic I'm an admin not a
programmer and have zero experience with continuous build systems. I
have limited understanding of how they actually work, and haven't had
the time to really dig into the topic. It seems there are a lot of
"auto builders" available already. At a cursory glance I can see it's
a far cry from a simple setup but would definitely be worth doing
right. Am I misunderstanding or are you proposing to use a continuous
integration system for this? Would something like Hudson be viable?
Or are you talking about developing a framework that could be provided
in a packaged form for download to a developers system? Or even a
combination of both?
I'll help in any way I can.
