I don't know. If the iso is successfully build then this state file
won't help. But any indication that the files are build is a sign in
the right direction.

Great!
Well after booting - no KDE, 2 kernel oops. This is fine when we
consider the switch to the beta-kde and the very early stage of the
2.6.34 kernel.

The idea is good but I don't think that it's worthy. If I compose my
own isos then I won't depend on the nightly composes. And the fedora
infrastructure is a way better than my pc :-)

Why is this syncing done manually. If the isos are automatically build
(which I think is the case here), why cannot they be automatically
synced to the server?
