You think I am missing what you are saying. I think that you are missing
what I am saying. Lets start over.
Gump does a daily cvs extract. Runs a bunch of builds. Runs a bunch of
tests. Posts the results for all to see.
I am quite willing to combine together input from various sources to
produce a snapshot to your specifications.
My two cents is that it actually is better for the snapshot to actually
match what is posted.
My motivation is that I want to increase the number of people who actually
care about Gump reported failures.
I presume that you have an assumption that the snapshot matches bit for bit
what is in a single cvs module. My presumption is only that it can be
produced without requiring human intervention.
My offer to upload binaries to your specifications still stands.
