I assume you're quoting from https://cygwin.com/packaging/build.html.
Scallywag does have some limitations currently, but I think the
statement you quoted is obsolete. I often have Scallywag deploy my
packages, as does Jon Turney.
The limitations I've bumped into are:
1. Scallywag will time out after an hour on each arch
until now I was hit only during test. But I stil need to
deploy on our Git some of the heavy packages
2. Several of my packages fail to build on x86 because of gcc crashes.
3. sometimes the failure is not in the build, but in missing or
imperfect testing
I think these limitations are outweighed by the fact that a Scallywag
build is automatically triggered by a push to an official source repo
(https://cygwin.com/packaging/repos.html). All maintainers can use this
without any special setup.
