Alex,

any news on this issue?

You wrote last Monday that you have hudson
(http://wiki.hudson-ci.org/display/HUDSON/Meet+Hudson) up an running
on your local machine?

Do you have a configuration to build a trunk image?

I assume that some people would like to try it out as well.....

Regards
--Hannes
