Is it time to start regression testing yet?

There have been a few attempts at this in the past - what was wrong  
with them again? (I can remember at least three - your chroot build  
scripts, wbb4's builds that auto generated a website that listed  
failures and successes, and blb's mpab http://trac.macports.org/wiki/MPAB)

Perhaps there's just a little more work that needs to happen to get  
things into a state where we can work out the 'homing' situation?

I actually had a hacked up version of your scripts running with disk  
images (with the ports getting installed onto shadow files - I was  
thinking it might be possible to build packages from that output  
too ...) but got distracted by something shiny ;-)

... but packaging will all be fixed once we get apkg, right? ;-)
