Haiku Build-O-Matic is doing ok so far at detecting build breakage.
Though, there's plenty of room for improvement.
The targets are being built for each architecture are in their
individual folders here:
http://dev.osdrawer.net/projects/haikubuildomatic/repository/show/branches/rewrite2/data
I'll gladly add any new targets.
The netboot target is an example of a more complex target, requiring
setting of individual jam variables
It's command would look something like
`jam -q -sTARGET_BOOT_PLATFORM=pxe_ia32 pxehaiku-loader haiku-netboot-archive`
http://dev.osdrawer.net/projects/haikubuildomatic/repository/entry/branches/rewrite2/data/x86gcc4hybrid/haiku-netboot-archive.xml
In the short term, I'd like to stabilize the upload schedule, right
now it's slowly slipping to a later time. Getting BOM running on linux
& Haiku, and then implement the ability to send reports to a central
website (as opposed to each machine sending it's own build failure
emails)
If anyone's curious, I did look at BuildBot a few months ago. At the
time, I wasn't sure how to set it up to track both buildtools & haiku.
There were a few other bits that didn't seem to fit.
