I volunteer to do a couple of niche builds. * the SSE-only linux build for Pentium-3-class machines * the 32-bit linux "unstable" build I have a few desktops and laptops at home. I wanted maximum optimized manual builds for my machines. I set up separate working directories for each machine, with symlinks to the same source directory. The build script was the same, so it was also a symlink. The only differences were the mozconfig files, and a small "customize" include file. From there, it's a minor incremental effort to add another directory or two. The major part of the effort was setting up a CentOS 6.5 chroot to match the build environment for the mainstream linux build. -- Walter Dnes <waltdnes@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
