That's the reason why there is Pd-extended version numbers. The idea
is that if you use Pd-0.39.2-extended-RC1, for example, on any
platform, it will be built from the _exact_ same code (the library
versions might differ).

The point of the auto-build farm is not only to provide binaries.
Actually it performs more important duties: it builds every night
from to make sure that recent checkins to CVS didn't break anything;
and, it gives developers an easy way to make sure that their code
works on other platforms without having to run builds themselves.
That is why there should be a gentoo machine in the auto-build farm.

I don't use gentoo at all, so I'll leave that up to you. Maybe a
good way to manage this is that you guys make releases of pd-overlay,
I check those releases into the pure-data CVS. Then the nightly auto-
builds run using the stuff in pure-data CVS.
The key to making this work is having pd-overlay use the same
directory structure as the pure-data CVS.

I've never installed gentoo. Could you point me to a CD image to
install? Also, once it's installed, will you install all of the
dependencies? I'll give you shell access to do that. Please
document this on a wiki page too.
