Yes, sorry for not replying earlier. Recent times have been busy with
ELCE and the Buildroot meeting. It definitely looks interesting, but I
want to take a closer look before giving some detailed feedback.

Fully agreed.

Though one initial issue is that Cupertino wrote his logic in Ruby
(which I don't really read/write). The existing autobuild.buildroot.net
code base is some horrible PHP crap that I wrote. I'm hoping to rewrite
that crap someday, but definitely not in Ruby, but rather in Python,
which is more widely used in the Buildroot community than Ruby, and
also a language that I happen to read/write (even though my Python-fu
is really basic, it's good enough for this kind of stuff).

But I guess this is just an implementation detail, and we can work in
bringing Cupertino's logic in autobuild.buildroot.net somehow.

Thanks,

Thomas
