Assaf, that.is.so.cool ! Really, your work is a great help to any project striving for portability (VM setup and 'suggested command line'). >>> Simon had an autobuild site [1][2], but it appears to be offline now. >>> [2] http://josefsson.org/autobuild/ >>> > > My long-term plan is to setup something like that myself > (time and resources permitting).

Maybe with Gitlab integration ? I guess, you would find a sponsor for CPU and bandwidth... Would you collect project-based 'build recipes' ? Thanks for that information. I'll test your VMs soon :-) > > regards, > - assaf > With Best Regards, Tim
