Do any ports besides the Apple ports produce nightly builds that end-users might be interested in using? If so, it might make sense to expand the offerings on http://nightly.webkit.org/ to include more choices. For example, Linux users might enjoy a nightly build that runs on Linux.
Excellent. I can provide at least WebKit-EFL/Linux packages. If it's easy to generate packages for other Linux ports as well (GTK and Qt ports I know that are easy to build; never tried Wx and Chromium), I can give a try in writing and maintaining a bot that does that.
OTOH, providing binary packages for Linux isn't an easy task. Different packaging standards, ABI differences, etc, makes binary distribution a nightmare: even if a new set of libraries are installed, there is no warranty that the browsers will pick those up or even if it will work at all (not really an issue for nightly builds but annoying nonetheless).
If there's an agreement of which Linux distribution should be supported by n.w.o, things will be a lot easier.
