I'm 90% done with setting up the automated builds. I've got a nice script I |

At this point, I'm waiting for someone to get off their butt and fix bug #238685 |
| 18 |
so that I can complete a full build. On the arches that don't build on poseidon |
| 19 |
(everything except x86/amd64), there will be a command in post_build() in their |
| 20 |
respective .conf files that uses a specific SSH key to sync the build materials |
| 21 |
to poseidon. They will then be automatically pulled to osprey (IIRC) for mirroring. |

Well, with the previous model, the arch coordinators were the suckers who did |
| 32 |
the building and fixed bugs. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
With our new model, the builds are mostly automated, so the coordinators will |
| 35 |
just be the folk that occasionally poke the builds for their particular arch, |
| 36 |
instead of babysitting them. |
