That ignores the arguments over what needs to be recompiled,
the time
needed to discover problems, the time needed to make the compilations
work, etc. Build daemons are not omnipotent. (Otherwise they'd

All right. Why doesn't anyone take the tools developed in mozilla.org
seriously?
I think their build tracking tools are quite excellent. I'm sure that
it would be a breeze to
hinge a debian source build back-end to that and get it up and running
together with
the fancy web interface.
