Surely, more or less that is the same system. The dak at buildserver.net
has its own GPG-check code in the processing scripts, thus it's even
finer in its ACLs, but basically it's all the same idea. That means, if
you intend to get your own upload permissions, i'll need to add you to
the allowed gpg-keys of whatever dist/arch and source/binary combination
you intend to upload. As however the pkg-voip SVN is automagically
synced into the archive, there's few need for manual uploads as the
overhead is just massive for 5 uploads per source per version (each of
which with its own changelog update).

Thus, theoretically possible, yet practically i can promise you that
it's not really what one wants to do. =)

There is no need to edit anything to get packs accepted by the dak and
autobuilt if you get the proper gpg-key permissions. The buildd hosts
automagically compile every source that's in the archive and also
noninteractively upload the outcome. That means, the idea of that
buildserver.net setup is that everything is entirely automated up to the
point where -build distributions are concerned. The step of moving
packages into the release webspace (a.k.a. britney) currently requires
manual tweaking of the hints, but if the demand would be there, we have
the option to add an extra dist with fully automatic britney of
everything that's in the according -build dist. Actually we can also
sync several of the -build dists to one release dist in case that makes
any sense from the dependency chain.

That *IS* a dak that's readily installed. No need to push me at all. =)

That's the idea. And sparc will be added later on this or next month,
once the host is installed and online. Moreover breezy will be upgraded
to edgy this weekend probably.
