-This has mostly be written in my spare time as a response to my difficulties -in testing large series of patches. Apart from tidying up there is quite a -bit of scope for improvement. Things like better error diffs and easier -access to log files. Also it would be nice if buildman could 'hunt' for -problems, perhaps by building a few boards for each arch, or checking -commits for changed files and building only boards which use those files. +Many improvements have been made over the years. There is still quite a bit of +scope for more though, e.g.: + +- easier access to log files +- 'hunting' for problems, perhaps by building a few boards for each arch, or + checking commits for changed files and building only boards which use those + files +- using the same git repo for all threads instead of cloning it. Currently + it uses about 500MB per thread, so on a 64-thread machine this is 32GB for + the build.
