I just thought of a side benefit of the auto-build system. You can now easily download a snapshot of the complete source for MAIN, pd- devel, and pd-extended:
rsync -av rsync://128.238.56.50/distros/pd-devel/ pd-devel/
rsync -av rsync://128.238.56.50/distros/pd-extended/ pd-extended/
rsync -av rsync://128.238.56.50/distros/pd-main/ pd-main/
This is not so important on MAIN, but with devel and extended, it simplifies things because you don't have to use tricky cvs commands.
