gtkpod unstable releases

Greetings,

If you are subscribed to the devel list then you may have seen the spam 
winging past concerning hudson builds failing and normalising. Apologies 
that would be due to me ;)

I have set up an auto build system using hudson, which at the moment 
builds both gtkpod and libgpod on fedora-13 and ubuntu-lynx virtual 
servers. These integration builds respond to any new commit on either 
project. At the moment, the test for success is whether they compile. In 
the future, more aggressive tests could be introduced.

One of the suggestions I had was to upload the resulting binary builds. 
This I have started to do by uploading an rpm of the fedora-13 build to 
sf.net. I will spend the rest of the week crafting the script to 
auto-generate a similar deb from the ubuntu build. These is also the 
original src tarball uploaded too.

So, if you wish to test / break these builds then feel free to download 
and play.

The format for the builds is gtkpod-2.0.0_${DATE}_${GIT-COMMIT-ID}, 
which should ensure that any builds that break can be traced back to the 
repository.

I have also downloaded a slackware iso ready to create a third virtual 
server. Unfortunately, that will be the limit of my box's capability so 
if anyone would like to offer a box that can be ssh'd into as a build 
slave then let me know. Alternatively, I can make available the hudson 
configuration if people feel like creating their own build servers.

Cheers and regards
