Hi Folks.
I'm trying my hand at creating a reproducible build of my own for bitcoin
and bitcoin-XT, using TeamCity.
I believe it is the best way to learn something: To try to build it
yourself.
Here is what I think I know so far, and I would love corrections, plus
questions:
1. Bitcoin is built continuously on travis-CI at
https://travis-ci.org/bitcoin/bitcoin/
2. there are many flavors that are built, but I'm not sure if all of
them are actually used/necessary. are they all needed, or just to "just in
case"?
3. There is a gitian build file for bitcoin, but is anyone actually
using it? are the bin files on bitcoin.org taken from that? or the
travis ci builds? or some other place?
4. Are there any things that people would love to have in the build that
do not exist there today? perhaps I can help with that?
Here is what I have now: http://btcdev.osherove.com:8111/
It does not do the matrix build yet, but it's coming. I'm just wondering if
all the platforms need to be supported,and if gitian is truly required to
be used, or used in parallel, or at all..
Feedback appreciated.

The builds made by Travis are for the purpose of making sure that the
source code compiles and tests run successfully on all supported platforms.
The binaries are not used anywhere else because Travis is not a trusted
platform.
The binaries on bitcoin.org are built using the gitian process and signed
by a quorum of developers.

Thanks Mark.
Is there a public server where the gitian builds can be viewed?
Is there a public server that shows the quorum verifications or that shows
how to join in on the verification if such as thing is helpful?

Well the gitian builds are made available on bitcoin.org. If you mean a
build server where gitian builds are automatically done and made available,
well that rather defeats the point of gitian.
The quorum signatures are accumulated here:
https://github.com/bitcoin/gitian.sigs (it's a manual process).

So who physically manually uploads the gitian build to bitcoin.org?

It's done by the core devs (very likely the project maintainer).
I think it doesn't matter who did the upload to bitcoin.org.
What really would matter is – if users deciding to run a pre-compiled
version of bitcoin-core – that they verify the binary against the
available gitian sigs.
