Are you aware of this: http://jhbuild.bxlug.be.
This is an attempt to have a distributed jhbuild for automated builds of
GNOME versions. People run a slightly modified jhbuild on their machine,
running whatever OS they want and data gets published on the web there.
We talk daily about this for several weeks on gnome-packaging-list g o
and gnome-love g o yet.
Someone already provides builds of GNOME 2.16 CVS on Solaris 11 Sparc...
