Comment (by hinder):

 We would need an SSL certificate for build.barrywardell.net, and to add an
 SSL wrapper.  The SSL wrapper could, for example, be an Apache reverse
 proxy configured on build, or something more lightweight like stunnel.
 But the blocker at the moment is not having an SSL certificate for that
 machine.  Come to think of it, it would be good to have SSL on this
 machine.  It's a VM, so security is not so important, but it would be
 annoying if it was hacked.

 Are we sure that linking to an off-site SSL-served image will not lead to
 a similar browser warning?  It's the off-site bit I'm concerned about.
 From reading around on the internet, my impression is that we would be
 fine, but I wonder if someone else knows better.

 I have commented out the build status image on the TRAC homepage, so that
 the page is considered secure again by browsers.  Apologies for not
 noticing this issue!
