Hi Brendan,
Yes, your MIPS buildslave would be very welcome to our BuildBot! In
order to simplify things, you can send me an e-mail offlist with the
following information:
- name of the buildslave;
- how many jobs it can handle when compiling/testing (i.e., what is the
value of N in "make -j<N>")
- what types of builders do you want to assign to it (I suppose it will
just build the plain GDB, i.e., no
native-gdbserver/native-extended-gdbserver)
- the admin's e-mail address (BuildBot will send an e-mail to this
address if the slave gets disconnected)
Also, don't forget to edit the "config/{info,host}" files (under your
buildslave directory) and put useful information there (take a look at
the "Slave information" section on any buildslave page to see examples).
After I have everything, I will generate a password for the slave and
send it to you, and you will be able to connect it to our BuildBot.
Thanks for the offer!
