That's okay. ;)

Right, and not all dots are "on the i" currently. The LaTeX support has 
a problem with biblatex vs. biber detection under Fedora (talked to Rob 
about this some time ago, but I don't know what the current status is), 
and the Gnu Java installation under SuSE doesn't understand the 
"-sourcepath" option.
I can still install Sun Java instead, but the last time I suggested this 
you rather wanted to have the tests marked broken until someone fixed them.

So what has higher priority: "getting the slaves green" or "fixing 
things properly"?
(Yes, I know that this is over-simplified... ;) )

I wouldn't mind, or would upgrading to 2.7 be an option?
