We're currently running six machines for m68k. One has the database
locally, the others use ssh for wanna-build. I fail to see the problem
here (other than getting enough people to process the logs, of course).

Huh? All I said is I can't use wanna-build on voltaire (permission
problems). Not that I want to use voltaire to build non-US packages (that
would be a creative interpretation of export regulations :-). I don't
think the fact that the database resides on a US machine conflicts with US
law, right?
If you'd set up the cgi-bin script to query (only --info and --list=) the
database via web interface I wouldn't even need to log on to voltaire.
Same for the archived logs script, for developers to look at all of the
logs themselves. I can send you the scripts used on kullervo if they
aren't in the wanna-build cvs.

Fine by me. I'm not keen on the job anyway. My build machine would be a
Powerbook, and that means it's not going to be online all of the time. If
there's someone else who would like to volunteer, I'd be happy to get you
started on setting up the autobuilder.
