	The approach and the scripts seem to be very interesting. Anyway, for
me the main problem is managing to run all the available projects in a
sequence.

	I'm trying to set up a buildbot with all the Gnome project, which
happens to be more than 150 projects. Currently I'm running a builder
per project, but it seems your approach is more sound (and fits better
with the buildbot principle of "one master per project"). My current
approach has been uploaded to the project patches repository in SF
([1]).

	But I would like to make the projects run one after another. I mean,
when project N ends its builds, project N+1 should start, and so on.
Anyway, I don't get a clear benefit of compiling the projects in a
sequence. But I wouldn't like to run all the builds of all the projects
at the same time, or even having more than one build in a slave running
at the same time.

	Any idea about this?
