[Buildbot-devel] buildbot makes inroads at mozilla

[Grig Gheorghiu]

This blog post is from Dave Liebreich, one of the main QA guys in the
Mozilla project:

Excerpt:

"Thanks to some cribbing from config files created by bhearsum at seneca, I
got buildbot running as a master on my MacBook Pro, and a buildslave running
on WinXP (on Parallels, on my MBP) building firefox on trunk. *AND* running
"make check" with log-file scanning to detect test failures. I'm planning to
get jsunit, dbaron's reftest, and some of the extension-based test harness
stuff running as well.

Why buildbot? Well, I wanted to learn more about it. And I wanted to get
something running without waiting on tinderbox machine config or tinderbox
client code changes. And all I really want is to turn a tree orange if a
test fails (which buildbot can do). And it's shiny."
Note that tinderbox is Mozilla's own continuous build system.
