Yes this would be very nice. I am starting to put all the scripts I use in a git archive on gitorious. As I set up sdbmock (starting from scratch again), I will add configs/scripts there:
http://gitorious.org/freemoe/
git clone git://gitorious.org/freemoe/freemoe.git

I was thinking of making a servers/ subdir and store specific configs for them in there (e.g. servers/espejo/rsync.d conf).

The buildserver has been running nice and fast the last 48 hours or so--lots of packages have been pushed through. :) What distro/release is the build server running? I have generally set up Debian Lenny KVMs to use and have one set up to be used with sdbmock, but if something more recent or older is better, let me know.

Thanks,
