Indeed, I apologise for the confusion.

The rest of the config is the vanilla one (included in the distro),
pasting the relevant section:

=======================================

from buildbot.process.factory import BuildFactory
from buildbot.steps.source import Git
from buildbot.steps.shell import ShellCommand

factory = BuildFactory()

factory.addStep(Git(repourl='http://git.gitorious.org/~brainstorm/efikamx/efika-kernel.git',
mode='copy', progress=True))
#factory.addStep(ShellCommand(command=["echo", "Success !"]))

factory.addStep(ShellCommand(command=["/bin/bash", '-ex', '-c', r"""

ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- make -j2 uImage modules

"""]))

======================================================
