The answer to 9163360 is that a build was started but had not yet finished due to lack of system resources. That all checkins done during this mutli-hour window was ignored by Xenofarm is of course a problem, but another one.

Okay, I'm sorry I bit you, and while it's inviting, I won't bite back; let's not make this hurt the issue.
I have not yet understood why my suggested solution is bad, or would not work. Nor have I, if you were right, understood why the pikefarm server is missing checkins (9163360), or at least why it is and should be dependent on the time it takes to build a dist at pelix.
I want to make links between pikefarm builds and the CVS browser list checkins between builds. From what I understand, the times listed in pikefarm are not times that can be fed to cvs co/up -D (after timezone translation from CEST) to produce an identical build post facto. The lack of correlation makes no sense to me, and needs to be correlated to fix the linking (hypertext sense) problem. Or, if somebody actually wants the timestamps to mark the completion time of the dist, to store the cvs snapshot timestamp where I can find it.
