well, that's an interesting point. We can provide packages for S10 and SXCE for KCE, but KDE itself builds as a giant tarball. Then there is the issue of which binaries we put up. There's 32-bit sse, 32-bit sse2, and 64-bit opteron. Sparc is a little easier, I suspect. Given that KCE will probably get to a point where the build goes through quietly and cleanly and produces a nice set of packages after a day or two on the system. As for resources, I think the better the build environment gets, the more interest in the project will garner, and possibly get some more volunteers to help with the builds. Ben
