Do not know exaxtly, because I have tried to build around 360 Packages.
I need to check the packages because it is for the french military,

Thats realy interesting. - Why this ?
We have around 500 selected packages which we like to use,
automated clean building is ONE of the criterias...
These packages are selected to push it into the Common
Criteria EAL1 to EAL 5. (Not only Servers. Workststions too)
