By the way, if you're editing this, would it be possible to put a `hostname' command in the script, just to make it clear which machine the build ran on. To check that the `make install' worked just now, I had to find the HardwareDetails page (after finding my wiki password), then work through the list of machines which had X86_64 on them, until I found one which had a directory /export/scratch/ser/ nightly-build/build/build-root/manifests on it, which turned out to be europa. The nightly-build message does include this, but I for one don't keep that message, and in any case sometimes have other reasons to look at the dev.starlink.ac.uk/build/ log files. It would just be handy, for surely rather little effort.
