Sbuild would be fine with this; it's buildd and wanna-build that wouldn't. Sbuild just gets handed packages to build; buildd determines what needs building right now, and wanna-build manages the database from a master archive. > I thought there was a mailing list for buildd on the Debian list server > but apparently I'm mistaken. I'll dig around for information. You're probably thinking debian-autobuild.
