I'm going to try to make my server public as well, I'm going to get a
100mbit line soon hopefully.

Anyway, heres what I have:
- Stock fedora 12, but install a newer bzr from rawhide
- Install Hudson from the Hudson yum repos
- Install the Hudson bzr plugin
- Configure a "free form" project in Hudson
- trigger build by poll bzr every 30 minutes
- ./configure && make -j4

I havent looked at it in a while, but now I see that it was 11 days ago
I had a sucessful build. The build fails on:

org/org-docbook.el:76:1:Error: Symbol's function definition is void: org-make-overlay

so aparently my build command isnt robust.
