What are the "builders on gnome-nightly" ?

If you mean the sdk builders which run the scripts I threw together a
while ago, i.e.:

  https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak-build-scripts/

Which run on https://gnome1.codethink.co.uk and
https://gnome1.codethink.co.uk then how do you mean outdated ?

I basically just do what Alex asks me to; the tooling should be up to
date there, sometimes they need a shove to get unblocked - and more
rarely he changes the config of what gets built so I mirror that config
on our builders.

Maybe this is a publishing problem ? and maybe "gnome-nightly" is a
place where people pull built SDKs from ?

There is no automated publishing system either for the above mentioned
builders, instead from what I recall; Alex has to manually go and run a
script which pulls the latest builds from the machines and puts them on
sdk.gnome.org for consumption.
