So I'm gonna enter that conversation here, if we want to have automated builds for debian based systems not on Launchpad we really need the following:
1. Hardware (we already got a virtual server capable of building the daily isos, so it should be able to handle this, if needed we can also go dedicated) 2. a build daemon, which is buildd that debian uses for it's build machines (we can use that 1 to 1 like launchpad) 3. a system managing builds and versions (which I'd prefer to build or use something highly flexible and adapt) 4. a repo server that hosts the packages and can support high traffic (that's a matter of renting it really) I don't see any issue in these things, especially the hardware and build based stuff. Building something to manage the builds and versions should not be a big deal either, but the real question has to be if we want to go and diy a Launchpad replacement or use something finished and integrate the build part into it.
