Tinderboxes are heavily used in Mozilla, less so in FreeBSD [1]. Still, in FreeBSD they run twice a day on three different systems. Mozilla's tree was closed for check-ins during tinderbox runs for nearly 20% of the time in an arbitrarily chosen period for three weeks of October 2002. FreeBSD does not close the tree.
There have been a few efforts to get a Tinderbox setup going. Karltk and
plasmaroo are only two devs I remember trying to get that set up.
Right now, Portage does not offer a stable API to developers (or so I've been told multiple times in #gentoo-portage). So any work done right now will either be on (possibly broken) cvs portage or needs to be duplicated when that becomes the "new" portage.
I'm interested in getting that functionality in Gentoo, if there is enough interest maybe another mailinglist would be useful for coordination and getting it done.
