You are right, the server may not be necessary in the long run. I’d still like to have an official build of the various packaging systems, e.g. docker etc
Once (auto) build services are up (for the packaging technologies like snappy) it should be easier to get less technical members help maintain those and just report when problems occur.
I found Gitian interesting, but had to give up trying to convert the FTC mobile wallet to it after a number of weeks trying.
This means we need to build the Bitcoin Mobile wallet, pull in changes from Bitcoin, and that will be set up ready to apply our own patches to make that a FTC mobile wallet build.
