Hi there,

it took longer than expected, but the new buildbot master running on baron 
(https://buildbot.haiku-os.org) is now ready to take over from the one 
running on Matt's machine.

This doesn't mean that work on buildbot is over, all it means is that the 
new master should do at least everything that the current master is doing.

The new master behaves a bit differently, as it tries to give feedback on 
breakage as fast as possible - I guess we need to wait a bit and then 
adjust it if anything feels uncomfortable.

One thing that has been is sending of mails about failed builds to the 
commit list (only for builds that introduced a failure).

The master has been configured to allow for forcing rebuilds and other 
manual intervention, all of which require an authenticated user. Anyone who 
is interested, please send me a htpasswd file with your authentication 
data. You can create such a beast like this (example for openSUSE-Linux):

        htpasswd2 -B htpasswd <username>

This will create a file 'htpasswd' with your credentials.

Matt: please tell me when you've switched off your master such that I can 
switch over the repository upload to haiku-files.org to the real target 
directory. Additionally, it would be cool if you could send me the script 
that is building the nightlies, as I'd like to integrate that into the new 
buildbot setup.

The next steps will be the installation and buildbot-integration of Gerrit. 
After that, more work has to be done on the haikuports builders.

BTW: As is painfully visible, the style of the buildbot pages could be 
improved, especially the home-page. Anyone in the mood for working on this, 
please tell and I will give you access to work on that :-)

cheers,
        Oliver
