TODO
====
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.
