Sure, We just need to: 1) Manage the work, so folks aren't duplicating the work, and make sure package B gets built after package A, etc. 2) Have some system of trust/control so the folks using the stuff can have some degree of confidence that what they're downloading is in fact what it represents itself to be. Possibly some other issues I haven't thought of. I think spreading the build too thin across machines would tend the aggravate any build sequencing issues, unless everyone involved stayed in very close sync with each other. -- Stew Benedict -- MandrakeSoft
