Another Emacs build-server

Currently it only builds the master and xwidget_mvp branches of Emacs.

I also have some other plans for it, like building on several
distributions, and provide (simple) binary packages.

Looks good. Will it run 'make check'? And send emails to committers who 
break something?

You can have an accout if you want!

Otherwise I will enable at least "make check". I think it is a bit early
to spam devs. I can spam myself to begin with.

vc-tests have failed, like they do also locally. I suppress those tests
on hydra with

(if (getenv "NIX_STORE")
 ...

Is there something I could check on your Jenkins system as well? I hope
the suppress is temporarily only, until the problem is fixed.

Best regards, Michael.

I just created a new job for make check. That way you can see if the
tests fail, and if master builds separately. That should be good enough
until the tests work again? I mean, if the tests are broken, they are
broken, and its better to know that than to suppress the breakage, right?

You can have an account if you like. I think the "sign up" function is
supposed to work I think.

I wouldn't mind, but I'm not sure what I'd do with it either. :)

Spamming emacs-devel is another decent option.

Yes. However, things are a little bit stalled. I've started with
vc-tests.el last automn on request of Eric Raymond. I don't know the innards
of vc-*.el that I could do serious bug fixing, I have just fixed some
simple cases.

Now I'm waiting until Eric could spend more time on this.

Thanks. Likely, it is not urgent. With hydra I'm happy to follow the
messages on emacs-buildstatus@gnu.org. If you could configure Jenkins
that it sends also messages on *changed* result status it would be
great. I don't know who runs this mailing list, maybe Glenn Morris?

Best regards, Michael.

emacs-buildstatus seems to be the natural target for this kind of spam.

Best regards, Michael.

I think Jenkins is supposed to notify on build status changes out of the
box.

BTW, I set NIX_STORE now, so you shouldnt need to change anything on
your end.
