SR has removed some build targets and components from the makefile, which means I can now build P5 without errors, but some of the issues will need to be handled at some point -- for instance, the error in building the PDF is due to the need for TeX Live 2010, whereas current Ubuntu versions are stuck at 2009. Still working on a detailed plan for creating a clone Jenkins machine, for which we'll need to solve all these problems. Here's some bits from email for the record (our suggested plan and SR's responses):

 -Start with an Ubuntu 10.04 headless server install.
  
   -Install the Oracle JDK.
  
   -Install Tomcat (any particular version? Latest? What's in repos?).
doesnt matter, version 6 or 7 latest

  
   -Install Jenkins from here:
     http://pkg.jenkins-ci.org/debian/
  
   -Install Tex Live 2010 from here:
     http://www.tug.org/texlive/acquire.html
  
   -Follow these instructions to get a working build setup:

Jenkins will do its own checkout, so no need for some of that

   -???Profit?
pleasure

  
  I'm pretty sure we'll also have to install some extras (fonts and the 
  like),
note the result of 

    make dependencies
