+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> that I had available and it came to about 80 days.
+</I>
+With a reasonably good machine, we used to be able to rebuild most of
+&quot;main&quot; in about one day.
+
+&gt;<i> Perhaps I was naive in thinking that compiling the distro could be
+</I>&gt;<i> done with distcc or even a simple queuing system that distributes
+</I>&gt;<i> SRPMs to nodes in the community swarm. As each node returns its
+</I>&gt;<i> completed binary package, the queuing system could send it another
+</I>&gt;<i> SRPM to build.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> It would be cool if it could be done that way. Why pay for data
+</I>&gt;<i> center space, hardware, electricity and big bandwidth when you could
+</I>&gt;<i> have a community-provided &quot;cloud&quot; for free? :o)
+</I>
+Because there are some authentication and integrity issues which are not
+simple to solve: we have to be sure that the binary packages really come
+from the unmodified SRPM (so that it does not contains malware).
