Whoops! Thanks for the catch; updated.

This is a horrible job only for masochists or those going in without
knowing what they were destined for (I'm in the latter group). The
configuration is published (behind a bit) in case someone wishes for
punishment or I'm hit by a bus:

All set here, and have a spare BBB destined either for Jessie or Fedora
testing.

I sure appreciate the offer!
The Buildbot is mostly set for now (knock on wood!). If there are
arguments for platforms absent that would greatly benefit Machinekit,
let me know. Jessie is definitely on the list.
BTW, EL6 and Fedora builds are offline until I work out the additional
package deps for Michael's new work, but their revival is low-prio at
the moment, especially now that MK has several new out-of-distro
dependencies that take us a little further from official packages.
