There's pending changes to move them to an /old path on the site 
[1], but have not gotten round to pushing it live.

While I don't provide any automated build service, there does 
exist some build tools within the gdc infrastructure code [2], if 
someone wants to do some work to create a pipeline for binary 
builds, please give a shout out and I'll provide a server in 
order to get that done.
