Comment (by sukhbir):

 > Will parts of these build scripts still be used when we switch to the
 deterministic build infrastructure?  If so, how about cloning that
 repository (whichever it is) and pushing to a public repository of yours?

 I don't think the scripts will work with deterministic build
 infrastructure since that's a different ballpark altogether. Is it OK to
 aim for simple builds (non-deterministic) at present?

 My build script is nothing -- it just clones the repositories, adds some
 configuration files and sets everything up. It is nothing fancy. Is this
 fine for now?
