Well all the packages are built from a tar file but SPRM wont work for 
Debian based systems.  On my testing system creating the .tar.gz file 
takes like 10 seconds.  But having an updated tar.gz file on every 
master commit could be useful.  Not sure how much having a pre-done src 
tar is going to save in actual build time.  Although having diff build 
packages for each distro makes a lot of since.  I am all about steps to 
make something happen.  I can think of some steps we could go though to 
convert the process but at best it would be based on my basic knowledge 
you know the current build process and would be best for you to outline 
the steps to get the changes in place.  What steps do you think are the 
best steps to getting the process changed up?
