I'm not going to dictate. I have had some interest from individuals
asking how they could help, but they seemed to be daunted by the need
for a good deal of builder resources to do a mass rebuild in a
reasonable amount of time. And unfortunately, I'm not in a position
to put the builders I scrounged up on the public internet for use.
I wonder if this could be done by distributed volunteer computing, perhaps as
a BOINC project.
From a security veiwpoint it may not be a good idea to install packages that
have been built on some random dude's computer, but that's not a problem if
we'll build them just to check that the build process works and won't actually
use the built packages.
