At some point I believe the decision to support superior software needs to be made regardless of its adoption amongst other projects, and that one of the factors to consider is the readability and maintainability of that software as viewed from outside of its project. If it does not seem wise to adopt a new compression format now, I would recommend reconsidering the issue after some time, perhaps a year or two. R0b0t1.

Re: GCC Buildbot

widely > deployed and used for many projects. LLVM utilizes a Buildbot > cluster. > I would like to verify that Buildbot is reliable. I worked with a (small) project that was using it for their builds. In my opinion Buildbot is more approachable and easier to customize. The only complaint I have (that applies to a few other Python projects as well, like Scons) is that configuration is actually a script file that uses Python syntax. In some cases this can be odd. As to its supporting technology, Python's developers see their project as a serious work that provides infrastructure for others. A lot of Python projects inherit this mindset and are very stable. I think Java-based infrastructure is starting to be underestimated and that Jenkins is a good candidate, but someone appears to have already done the work. Respectfully, R0b0t1
