Build

• IT is taking over first-level support of Tinderbox this week; details will be posted in the newsgroups and planet this afternoon, but the most important change is we're tracking outages and Tinderbox problems via bugs; this is a departure from handling things on IRC.
• The new daylight saving time occurs next week; we're starting to look at what'll be affected this week.
• We will be turning off the build Macs in the office at the end of April; materially, this means binus, boxset, hilo, and pawn. We have supported hardware in the colo to move these builds to; we can also ship these Macs to those doing builds for community projects if they want to continue using them as build machines.
• More details will be coming in the following weeks, but we're working on getting dedicated, community accessible build resources in the community network; we've been working with IT and SethB to make sure we have the proper environments for these projects. This is especially relevant given the Tinderbox support switchover above.
