Great! I'll give it a try as soon as I can.

Be careful! I've been testing with a patch to only have 1 or 2 projects loaded, if you try it with all projects it will probably try and build and once. Moving over the serial scheduler stuff is my task for on the train this morning :-)

Mmm... does this mean that you want to build a module whenever there is
a commit to it? That's too much imho.

 
At the moment i'm only trying to make sure all the code that already exists is ported over. There is a GNOME CVS Mail change source shipped with jhbuild-buildbot-scripts.

I agree building on commit is probably too much, but at the same time I want to see the state of my project more than once every 6 hours. I'm not a fan of building *everything* on a timer even if there is not a change. So perhaps (when the initial work is done) we can exploit some of the more advanced schedulers in buildbot to build more frequently (hourly, half hourly), but only if there is a change etc.

Basics of this are done now.

OK the serial scheduler is in place, and the home page is about there. Will take care of the feeds tonight.
