Isn't that just a matter of having the recipe written down somewhere?

Yes, that would be nice. :-) Preferably a recipe that doesn't involve Macports or Fink which some of us are allergic to. Yes, ditto the MacPorts/Fink allergy. All we need is a script, right? The released branches should be built automatically every night anyway, just for regression testing. Perhaps we should take this up on Mac-Python? Please do, and let me know if resources of some kind would help. A Mac buildbot would definitely be useful and I know some of the Python-dev crew would like access to a Mac OS X machine for trying out fixes when none of the core Mac maintainers are around. A couple of co-located, or otherwise hosted, Mac boxes would be very useful. The obvious question is who would hold the keys (maintain the buildbot)? I don't know if Ronald has the spare capacity to do this (?). If someone will help me with the initial setup I can otherwise volunteer.

We have some space in our machine room, and some sysadmins that like open source. I will ask them if they are willing to do physical maintenance (profs wisely aren't allowed access to the machine room). That would really be ideal... I will report back to interested people.
