People keep trying to solve this problem (and this is good - it needs solving). Please take a look at pybit, which purports to be a distributed build-system designed to work for exactly this case, using MQ for the message-passing. http://packages.qa.debian.org/p/pybit.html I believe this to be a better fit than general-purpose build systems like jenkins and buildbot (which IME don't really fit the building of hundreds of different packages (as opposed to building a few packages often) very well). I haven't yet had a chance to use pybit for real (although I've been planning to try for a while, and might get a tuit soonish), but the people who built it are clueful, and it _ought_ to be better than rebuildd, simpler and more flexible than wanna-build, and more appropriate than jenkins and buildbot. I'd be very interested to hear from people working in this area whether it is indeed useful.
