(bisected)
            + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=152619

      https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/current.html
would like to have links to hash/log along with it for easy access -
jenkins status might be too "far"
      → possible in theory, but first build jobs need to provide that
info in the directory tree (AI: cloph to adjust the job, then AI for
guilhem to update parsing script)
