Maybe I should have been a bit more clear. The problem is not the
actual compiling, that works great (I've been able to build a couple
of packages). The problem is with the dependencies between the
packages. Almost each next package depends on the previous one.
I tried building those packages with using the 'SRCROOT' variable,
though I could not get that to work.

Finally I just started to build each package, upload it, wait for the
build machine to sync, build the next one, etc. That just is not
doable being it CVS packages which change daily.

I've sent my current scripts and PKGBUILDs to Eric (I still need to
rewrite them to use the CVS sources), as he said in this thread a
would be able to build it. So I think e17-cvs should be covered for
now.

Thanks for your offer though. If I need it in the future I'll let you know.
