As you know you have mine that already does test-patchy (manually) and
has done 'staging-merge' but it has no real bandwidth to offer
'hosting' or 'remote access' to other users - it sits at home behind a
bog-standard DSL router. So it's essentially a 'push-only' server so
to speak - hence the reason it was ok for Patchy merge. But unless I
can work out how to get access through the DSL router (I've not
checked) it isn't really helpful for those devs that might want to
tweak and test updated scripts. Technically there's no reason why I
couldn't allow ssh access via a terminal session, I just haven't
bothered to figure out how to set up port forwarding on the router
properly yet.
