Ok.

Unfortunately we're running (in meanwhile) an old version of buildbot as 
buildbot-master (0.7.8, as shipped by Debian 5). And there seems to be an 
issue using a recent buildbot version to trigger a "try"-build (e.g. 0.8.1) . 
Everyone would have to downgrade to buildbot (client) 0.7.8, even if their 
distro ships a more recent version.

Another (minor) issue with the old buildbot-master is that every time someone 
performs a try-build of a patch the buildbot-slaves will vanish the source-
directory on the next testrun. And perform a complete git clone from scratch, 
which wastes some minutes of testing time and a lot of traffic. Need to check 
more recent version of buildbot, lots of stuff got changed/rewritten when it 
comes to VCS handling.

Newer buildbot version also support now "GitPoller" to detect new changes. So 
we can avoid the rsync-git.kernel.org-delay issue.

So there are lots of reason to look into new buildbot version, before giving 
away try-accounts.

FYI, ppc44x is finally building (uboot-mkimage was missing on the slave).
Continuous Testing for all requested architectures and the master and next 
branch should work now. Will add the kvm mailinglist tomorrow to the 
notification list for build-failures of kvm.git.

Once I reviewed the newer buildbot version I start providing the try-accounts.


Best Regards,
Daniel
