One final status report for now:
Daily snapshots should be working again. If you're curious, the reason for the failure was the "appearance" of the chinese translation, which needed some special consideration in the code.
Anyway, for the impatient ones, a current snapshot (20120209) has already been generated, and starting tomorrow, daily builds should be available again (until they break again

).
Since I have been contacted about this: I have tested the brazilian localization (minimally, only home, settings, and international screens), and it worked for me. I have also tested the chinese localization, and it seems to work as well (guess what... I'm lucky that it isn't complete, and that I know which entries to click on... otherwise, I would be totally lost

)
UPDATE: PS: Localization bundles only contain the blanket and framework parts for now, waf and pillow are not included yet.
