[darcs-users] buildbot news

[zooko]

Folks:

I noticed that there were darcs test failures on my Mac OS 10.4/Intel  
laptop but not on the Macintoshes on the darcs buildbot [1], so I  
added my laptop.

I also noticed that the "name" fields of the buildslaves are  
currently of the form "owner" or for people who contribute more than  
one buildbot, "owner os-type", but that this is redundant with the  
much more detailed and regular operating system and platform  
information that follows.

I think it would be nicer to put some other identifying information  
in there (for example, what happens when the same owner operates two  
different bots of the same os-type?), so I started using the names of  
my computers -- renaming my bots from "zooko allmydata windows" to  
"zooko allmydata virtual2",  "zooko allmydata dapper" to "zooko  
allmydata slave3", "zooko nexenta" to "zooko nooxie", "zooko hardy"  
to "zooko yukyuk", and then I named the newly added one "zooko ootles".

To rename other people's buildbots requires cooperation from them, so  
if you are contributing a buildbopt and are willing to edit your  
buildbot.tac text file and change the name field of your bot, please  
do so and let me know.

Regards,

Zooko
