No worries.

And the software *must* properly build on a solaris machine or the
tarball roll will not happen.

Dave's FreeBSD problem was a transient build issue on that machine - the
code builds fine there.

I (manually) build 4 different ntp configurations (all refclocks, no
refclocks, no debug, no SSL) on over 24 different HW/OS platforms, but
this is not yet automated, and I generally only look for completed
builds.

I would like to be able to do much more.

Agreed, and we pretty much have this already.  And I know we can do
better.
