Depending on how much work this is, do we go down the route of replacing one of the koji builders with a reimzul like instance that runs private builds ? reimzul can generate per-build htaccess entries for basic-auth, that way ( apart from folks who have shell access to the machine ), there is some level of privacy as well. If we do go down that route, we'd need a way for koji to import those builds at a later stage, when they need to be signed and released. -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc
