If there is a single "community buildbot", then no. In any case, it's primarily administrative overhead, not so much cycles. python.org does so many things simultaneously, making it trigger an additional build remotely doesn't hurt. > I was thinking about having a dedicated buildmaster machine, such as the > one Neal says he already has, and configure that machine to coordinate a > small army of buildslaves which will be contributed for people > interested in this effort. Right. You still need to find out when to rebuild, and getting triggers from the source repositories is likely the easiest solution.

I see....I guess I was thinking about building periodically (every X hours or at time Y) as opposed to getting svn triggers on each check-in. But if, as you're saying, the overhead on python.org is not too great, we can do what you suggested.
