Looking though "debian-cd" archives, I've found a thread[1] where you
talked with Steve McIntyre about this. Digging though the messages,
there is no mention of how this would be done. Have you guys talked
about the technical side of the proposal?
For a simple start, I thought about a script that its input is how the
image can be built (e.g. go to this directory and run this command).
At the end of the process, it would save a fila containing all the
relevant build information (e.g. has it failed? What packages have
been installed? When it started and when it finished?). Then, in the
following runs, it will use this information to decide if the image
should be built again or not (e.g. has it failed in the last run? the
last image was built over a week ago?).
We could even use the Debian Security Announce RSS[2] to find out if a
previously built image is vulnerable, comparing its package list with
recent advisories.
