 So my main driver for Hudson right now are Linaro daily u-boot and
 kernel builds; we could work on setting up some useful Linaro builds
 for you, I just didn't find a way to propagate a separate repo of
 configs elegantly so that I can combine a kernel tree + a config to
 start a build.  I need to be reasonnable as long as my main home server
 is doing the builds, but if I take the time to hook Hudson to EC2, I
 shall have infinite build power.

 Hehe, I know when to keep away from packaging something   ;-)

 It's a combination of factors, but to sum up I'm unlikely to package it
 into Debian/Ubuntu:
 - it's moving fast, they release about one time per week
 - it's java, which is a pain to package properly
 - I know it's going to suck time to get the updates working properly or
   disabled

 Overall, I'm moving ownership of this service to IS and the general
 Hudson topic should go to Infrastructure.

 If you're desperate, there are some .debs available upstream; the APT
 repo is broken though (lags way behind).  There's an APT repo with
 experimental packages too (I understand they are from their
 experimental branch).
