That's step 1, I'm working on that. In fact, I brought the Mac build offline
and fixed the FC1 build, that one is running fine now.I propose to start
with sending emails to breakage@ first. We can add some other slaves, which
probably requires some new configuration and let that stabilize for a while.
If that works, we can start sending mails to committers. There's an option
to ping an IRC-channel as well, didn't test it yet though.

It is, and I'm sure this was the very reason why buildbot was tentatively
selected as the tool for the Subversion B&T farm.

It probably isn't that difficult to fix, I'll have a look at it. It's not
high priority either.

I'll write some things down on how to install a buildbot slave. The page
http://subversion.tigris.org/build-farm.html already explains a bit. My
setup is slightly different though, my steps ( checkout, autogen,
configure... ) are configured and triggered by the buildmaster. It's
probably better to bundle that in one script on the slave, so that the
buildmaster only has to trigger that script.

Yep, I think that's really needed, otherwise it will be up to the buildbot
slave owner to solve those issues. I'm setting up a location on my server
where those files can be FTP'ed to, so they are accessible by webbrowser
here:
http://www.mobsol.be/buildbotlogs
I'll provide a script to the slave owners for this upload. That script can
then also print out the name & url of the log file it ftp'ed to relate a
build and its logfile (output of scripts are visible in the buildbot
webpage).
But now first thing I'm going to do is get that Mac OS X build working.
Lieven.
