Today, a broken master is only spotted when somebody tracks down a
broken Gerrit build to be due to a broken master (or when somebody
doing their own local build with a sufficiently similar setup spots
it). That can delay fixing unnecessarily, causing many developers
to meanwhile base their Gerrit changes on a broken master.
Such a bot should trigger on commits in git, I do that on my own vms.
Yes, of course.
However I think we would need 3 bot (windows, linux, osx) as many of
the build breakers are platform dependent.
The other three Gerrit/Jenkins bot setups (Linux GCC, macOS, Windows)
are already covered well enough by existing Jenkins_* bots (see
<http://tinderbox.libreoffice.org/MASTER/status.html>), I think.
When a build breaker is seen, it is normally acted upon very fast
(THANKS a lot) so having such bots, would likely reduce the time
where master cannot build to a few hours. This measure would
eliminate the need to trace the last commit where master builds (a
suggested idea to help especially new people).
We already have all that, in general? (My mail was specifically about
Gerrit/Jenkins' Clang+plugins setup, where the only "regular" bot with a
similar setup is my Linux-F19-x86_64_14-with-check, but which is so slow
that it is practically useless in what I'm asking for above.)
