1) You need two trunks, one experimental, the other 1 day old
"booting trunk".
That's called "stable branch"
2)Your bot build the experimental trunk (you already
have the build
bot).
That's how it is now
3) Once a day a "boot bot" would try boot
the experimental trunk,
if it is sucessful (i supouse, sending a "all ok" message throug
com1) then it overwrithe the "booting trunk" with that experimental
revision.
It should try every revision, otherwise there is no use from it at
all. And automerge from trunk to stable branch is not possible,
because patches usually depend on each other.
4)That way there is always a very recent trunk that is
stable
enough to boot, the testing is automatic, and you have quite
narrowed the revisions with the problem.
Unfortunately world is not that easy :-)
That way you could be working in a somewhat stable trunk, that can
not be older than 1, 2 or 3 days if the experimental is failing.
