BuildBot changes

[Colin Finck]

Hello all,

As you have certainly noticed, Amine, Olaf and me have upgraded the 
BuildBot some days ago. While doing this, we have added Olaf's build 
slaves which used to be available at http://reactos.ath.cx:8081.

The new BuildBot version finally enables authenticated access for 
features like forcing a build. When you want to do this now, you have to 
enter your SVN credentials into the respective fields. If you are a 
tester and need these BuildBot features, please ask Aleksey or me for 
getting the appropriate credentials.

In the next few days, we're probably going to make the testing results 
of his CMake bot available at http://reactos.org/testman and upload his 
builds to http://iso.reactos.org.
I might also change the BuildBot Web page design. Now that the main part 
has got wider, we might remove the ReactOS design around it to get some 
space for the real important stuff.

Will non-SVN-users still get "read-only" access (ie. to view  
statistics/builds/failed tests/etc)? In addition, why does it need port  
8081 for access?

Colin, 
what will happen with  reactos.org/getbuilds ? Will one more ISO appear there  (i.e:"
bootcd-mke") or won't  the cmake iso be added?
Thanks :)

Adam,
Yes, non-SVN-users still get read-only access, you can view the statistics,Grid and
waterfall(among others) here:
http://build.reactos.org/

The 8081 is not needed, this "http://reactos.ath.cx:8081" was Olaf server's
website address. It wasn't in the Official ReactOS server.

Feel free to correct me if i am wrong :)

At the present moment our objective is the one that started this whole
process of migration, to adapt new source for Testman, source that happens
to be my testing bot. It is VBox-based (v 3.12 atm) and is going to perform
standard x86 trunk testing, as well as the triggered builds from CMake
adoption branch. In both cases, the standard testcd is used.

The credentials will be necessary for builder manipulation - triggering and
canceling the builds.

As a bonus, my test builder, currently named "Trunk_slave VBox-Test" (alas i
still prefer the name Testbot) can retest every revision that was already
built. To do so, you need to pass revision number as well as additional
parameter named "source", with value "x86_Trunk" or
"CMake-test", pointing
to the right builder's testcd. If the file is not present, the test attempt
will fail.

Just a small errata: there is no decision yet on uploading builds from my
slaves to iso.reactos.org. I haven't decided on that yet, as for CMake
builds, its up to Amine. Our main drive behind the fusion of buildmasters
was the possibility to supply Testman with all tests from VBox testbot, not
only CMake but x86 trunk as well.
