Hi,

I've added plamo support to Jenkins and built two initial images. I
still need to hook Jenkins to the public server so you'll probably
only see them in a couple of days.

I went with a 48h expiry date for plamo. Jenkins will typically attempt
a build once a day, so 48h should avoid us expiring an image when
there's no new one around and still force users to re-grab new images
often enough for your use case.

Oh, also. Do you know if there's a North American plamo mirror? Download
speeds from the default location are dreadful from here. It took me
35min to download the 200MB from the ftp site (instead of the expected
30s to a minute)...
