building buildings
I recieved a few responses to my offer of the use of my machine, I'm now running the OSX buildslaves for gstreamer, xiph (ogg/vorbis/speex/theora), twisted and buildbot itself.

Fink sucks, but it seems to kinda sorta work okay once you get past the stupidity of fink stopping doing anything and telling you to run another command to continue (fink install svn; fink build python24; fink install svn; fink build svn; fink install svn; etc). It's insane, but I don't know enough about fink to know why either.

I've been told to try darwinports, but I'm hesitant to break what I already have running. :)

Talking to warner, I'm excited about the concept of a metabuildslave, which will proxy slave requests through to arbitary slaves based on their capabilities. I.e. having a half dozen OSX buildslaves, and the metabuildslave proxying requests through to the one that is up and idle. It will allow people to donate machine time even if they decide to turn their machine off for the night, or go on holiday for a week. :)

imajica, dude, email me for your shell.
