In our tinderbox2 setup at OSAF we also have a routine at the end of the 
build script that pushes the distribution bits to a staging server.  It 
first checks that all unit and functional tests have passed.

Given the basic nature of tinderbox2 client scripts, this is rather easy 
to setup.

I would be glad to migrate into the tinderbox2 source tree any jhbuild 
related changes - it would be a nice addition.
