The only location I am aware of for Colin's freebsd-update-server is accessible via svnweb.freebsd.org[1]. In terms of the resource utilization you've described, I've observed similar behavior building content for a customized 10.0-RELEASE. I've not taken a deep dive to figure out why, but the server builds two worlds, kernels, etc. It appeared make release of world1 consumed the majority of swap utilized. A recent build consumed approximately 12GB of swap on a VM with 8 CPUs and 32GB RAM. I chocked the resource utilization up to the fact that the VM did not have enough RAM. Building FreeBSD source, especially multiple instances of it, is likely to be much more memory intensive than the VM had in capacity.
