For Windows, I use the win-builder.r-project.org more and more. A really useful tool. Kudos to Uwe and Olaf for running this. For OS X, a 'mac-builder.r-project.org' would be very helpful. Just this eve I discussed OS X build issues ... without having any access to machine with OS X. For Linux, the admission to CRAN is a good test. And I dare say the cran2deb autobuilder Charles and I are running also puts a decent test on things -- even more so that the usual CRAN test as we run builds in so-called pbuilder chroot so that eg missing dependencies really pop up. So: 2 up, 1 to go. Any volunteers for scripting OS X towards a builder service?
