I'd be happy to assist you getting it to run on jenkins.d.n, which is now a 15 core / 30gb host, which can easily get a job configured testing this every three months (or whenever) on half the ressources or so.... Please read the existing documentation (about link etc) and ping me (best via (#)debian-qa) for further kickstarting help..! cheers, Holger
