It sure is not easy task to get everything green but there have been a few
builds which nearly achieved this[1].

It has gotten harder lately with new dependencies cropping up (pyrex to
get Python D-BUS bindings, Perl D-BUS bindings for system-tools-backend,
Mozilla 1.8 for Epiphany, gdbm python module for avahi, etc.) but I have
been tracking those, submitting bugs and patches to jhbuild and broken
modules.  And I really hope to get a build working soon.
