Builds are only kept about 24 hrs.

The above can happen if you show up with large build or hit a busy
time on the build server.

Not sure about the above statement. In general if anything sometimes
builds get kept longer than intended.

Again, and I can not reproduce the failure to my email address. I do
wish to assist but I can not without the ability to reproduce.

Try to figure out why you are not getting mailers. Perhaps if you have

Not sure what you ask here and so I assume you are talking about
package lists. If the said packages are not in a list and they are in
the main archive, then you can just add them on --packages . If you
believe they would be valuable in a given package list, then you could
file a bug report.
