There are a nuymber of open issues with the IPS RE build process that are

1) The build scripts expect a complete zone for building

2) The artifacts are not being deleted and a cron job needs to be added

3) The build script needs to come from the production repository

4) An email needs to be sent to an alias

5) A secondary hudson build is to be called so that SQE and other groups have web accessible pacakges
This work needs to happen as part of supporting IPS. The focus on current builds is a waste of time since the IPS packages being produced are no longer relevant. Since there is no staging envrionment it needs to happen on production systems.
