I'm sure that due to these changes the daily build will fail. It did last night, but due to a bug in the build script it hung and didn't produce an error report, something that is now hopefully fixed. I'll wait with updating anything in media_build or elsewhere until the whole reorganization is finished. Mauro, can you drop me an email when you think everything is done? Then I can work on getting the daily build back up. Are you planning to update the backport patches in media_build as well?
