Simon, I know buildman has been out for a while. I just rely too much on MAKEALL automation and am reluctant to try buildman. Reading buildman/README, it seems buildman always builds a branch and its upstream commit. I am hoping you can help me to understand how to use buildman in my environment with gerrit and Jenkins. For every patch (internal development), we use gerrit to conduct review and Jenkins to test. If you are not familiar with either, the simplest way to understand is a script will run on every commit. In the script I use MAKEALL to build all concerned (hundreds) targets for _this_ commit. The dependency is maintained by gerrit. The result is fed back to gerrit to show the author (and reviewers) if a failure happens. If using buildman and the upstream commit is always built, a great amount of time will be consumed with no benefit. If you see a better way to use buildman, I can give it a try.
