Unless we are running out of space on the repository server we shouldn't. So I think we should find a solution to decentralize the building process. So a build server could be okay. Is it a problem to have a maintainer that check *some* packages, and not everything? The main maintainer should only put everything together, maybe periodically, so the others know when to submit updates and when to wait for the next one. Are you sure this will be more painful than build everything by your own on your laptop? Fabio
