I've found that the buildbots are pretty useless for me as a submaintainer. If there was a way I could say "ok, tree is ready to go, kick off a build and send me the results in an hour" then that would be useful. A 24 hour turnaround means I've already sent the pullrequest before the buildbot kicks off. Also: * I just tried to check http://buildbot.b1-systems.de/qemu/grid and I get a 504 Gateway Time-out error... * looking at the latest arm-devs build it's failed configure because the buildbot doesn't either (a) have a suitable libfdt or (b) have the appropriate command to init the dtc submodule. I'm pretty sure I never got an email about this, so I imagine it's been busted for months. -- PMM
