I've just noticed that I've replied only to Cody and not to the list,

I'd prefer to transfer the reins to somebody else and finally get anacron
jobs set up on a server to automate the process. Same goes for crash
retracing and upstream package imports. It's all documented in
https://docs.google.com/document/d/16bUZqrSudlVt7Z7gAafS15U-ZlmvhdSMpLEL1wcatGg/edit

I'll try to supply more or less regularly built dailies until somebody gets
the automation figured (hint hint). No promises though. I'm open for any
automation-related questions, except crontab syntax which I never really
knew.

Both. But as I've been doing for the past... ehh, while, I'm more likely to
teach fishing instead of spreading herring around.
