I really hope gnome doesn't try to extend jhbuild (though my experiences with it were not as bad as some). I find it hard to believe they haven't long since migrated to something like hudson/jenkins.
Why build your own widget if someone is giving away free widgets of the kind you want?

We combined jhbuild and buildbot years ago: http://build.gnome.org/.

If you want to help, feel free. I'll re-activate gnome-os-list in a bit, just subscribe, etc. We also have a buildbridage list, but that is pretty dead.

Ever thought of reusing homebrew instead of homegrown jhbuild? It does solve the 'install software on top/next to" another distro. But in this case the base distro is OSX, however it should be quite portable.

My recollection of jhbuild was just pain, it might be better today :)
