Thanks for those snapshots and the effort that went into creating and providing them, Andy. I think the original quote may be mine (I can't seem to find it using the forum and wiki search, though). I think this statement made sense when we had no automatically built snapshots, yet, or when those do not work on some system.
So unless the snapshots we create automatically and provide at
http://snapshots.megaglest.org cannot be made to work on the target platform (Debian 8 i686, I assume), I do not see an immediate need to provide additional snapshot builds (although you are of course welcome to do so if you still consider it useful).
