        Useful though a tinderbox is, I'm taking a preemptive strike on   
the issue - I do not believe that random people should be allowed to
commit unapproved crud to CVS that happens to make it build on the
tinderbox [1].

        I tend to think that if you are not competant to fix the trivial
sort of build problems that you get from time to time with CVS HEAD
(anything) that you should not be building from CVS.

        Of course, one way to solve this would be to have the tinderbox
tag the CVS at its last successful build of a package: tinderbox_head or
somesuch.

        Just a thought.

such things.
