I used to run a similar cronjob to create daily spamassassin deb packages. It was suggested at the time that I use one of the other i386 machines and then copy my results to gluck (I think I used tippett, which appears to be dead atm).

If you plan on doing stuff that's a whole lot more elaborate, you might want to consider it though. -- Duncan Findlay
