Yes. I'm doing reference builds without stage 9 1-2 times a week for
testing sm patches before applying them. The last result was:

1174 builds total, 1158 completed fine, 16 with errors.

I'm having on my todo to automatically push the results to the http
server. I'll implement this as soon as my current build is finished.

Some of the build errors listed above are already fixed in the journal I'm
testing right now. It would be great to have ref. builds with 0 errors in
one or two months..

I'm not sure if 2.1 (devel tree) tarballs would be neccessary. The current
tree is available with subversion and rsync.

ack.

Also I'm very serious about avoiding major unstabalazition in the devel
tree. So branching stable trees should be much easier and faster in the
futrure.
