A local instance of buildbot with one master and one slave is already running for qemu-kvm.git (clone). Preparing now the final buildmaster host ... Unfortunately there seems to be no Git-"poller" in buildbot, like for SVN. So there is need to install a Git post-receive hook on the repositories to trigger the buildbot-master: http://buildbot.net/trac/browser/contrib/git_buildbot.py I hope this ok. Otherwise we would need to setup mirror, which contains this hook. Some further questions to the build test: - incremental/quick or full/"safe" build tests? (e.g. "make clean" before actual configuration/build?) - any non-default compiler flags? - which combination of configuration should get tested? * w/o --disable-kvm * ... - which branches should get build-tested for qemu-kvm.git? just master in the beginning?
