I'm hoping to switch the direction of mud-builder[1] a little bit,
since the auto-building aspects are no longer so important. Instead,
it'll help with the creation of source packages for Maemo and
uploading them to the autobuilder. It'll do this - as it does
currently - from upstream tarballs, Debian packages etc, with the
possibility of Maemo-specific patches.

I started a thread about it on mud-builder-users, FWIW:

    https://garage.maemo.org/pipermail/mud-builder-users/2008-June/000255.html

Input from existing mud users, and developers looking to move to
source-packages welcome.

Cheers,

Andrew
