I'm not understanding how that could happen, unless they sent a patch
against abuild itself, and that could be easily rectified by running patch
as another user, and having abuild owned by e.g. root and marked as rx for
others. That would kill the ability to have patches against abuild tested by
abuild, but those are so rare I don't think it'd be a big issue. I'm
considering setting up something like this, my Q6600 with 6GB of ram runs
idle most of the day, I'm just dreading setting up a mail system on it to
send out the results.
