Thank you for CCing me Frederic, because I was not subscribed to the
gnome-hackers mailing list. This is my first post to the list, so I want
to say that I'm very pleased to meet people like you.

I'm not sure about what are you proposing. Do you mean that a tinderbox
client could send the build logs to a jhautobuild? I'm not sure about
that, because the format the tinderbox issues its logs is not the same
one used by the jhbuild AFAIK, maybe you'll need to code a parser for
this kind of logs. Anyway I'm open to any kind of collaboration.

I agree, your work is great.

People here at Igalia let me spend some more time developing our GNOME
tinderbox. I'll try to have a better implementation of our continuous
integration system ready for the GUADEC, where I think we can talk about
this subject.
