Other projects like glibc, valgrind, libabigail, etc. have moved their snapshots builds to http://snapshots.sourceware.org/ which creates a snapshot build and creates documentation from current git. This makes sure the release processes/scripts keep working. And it has caught release issues early (which often don't occur during a normal developer build). Since this is part of the normal builder.sourceware.org infrastructure it also provides better visibility. Cheers, Mark
