That's already been done a while ago and I sent you an email to warn you
too :)

Currently, "bot-actes" has connectivity (fails to build properly due to
some missconfiguration in my dev environment), but I'll try fix that
this week, however, "bot-carpa" seems to be offline yet (is it using the
same outgoing ip address?). You can check my development master here:

Interesting idea, indeed. However, we would still need access for other
things, like updating buildbot version, maybe installing a new python
version or some python libraries, check the logs, maybe configure
Apache, and probably more things I'm missing... :/

Please let me know the details when it's done so we can apply the same
approach to our gnome-buildbot too :)
