[Buildroot] Autobuild server migrated

[Thomas Petazzoni via buildroot]

Hello,

We have migrated autobuild.buildroot.org to a new server. The DNS
entries have just been updated by Peter, so it might take a little
while for you to have the new DNS entry. The new server IP address is
138.201.205.61, the old server IP address is 94.23.254.152.

The old server was a super old dual core Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU D425
machine, with only a spinning hard drive. It was really, really slow.
Also, it was owned/rented by me personally.

The new server is a 4 cores (x2 threads) Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1275
v5 @ 3.60GHz machine, with NVMe storage, that the Buildroot Association
is renting (please become a member of the association to support it, or
ask your company to sponsor).

The new server is therefore much more responsive, especially when
searching through build results. A few hints for those of you who may
not be familiar:

- You can create some search queries by manipulating the URL. For
  example:

  http://autobuild.buildroot.org/?reason=host-gcc-final%

  will list all build failures related to *any* version of
  host-gcc-final (% acts as a wildcard)

  http://autobuild.buildroot.net/?reason=host-gcc-final%&arch=powerpc64le

  will list all build failures related to any version of
  host-gcc-final, which occurred on powerpc64le

  You can also combine that with
  &libc=musl&subarch=power8&branch=master for example

- http://autobuild.buildroot.net/search.php provides much more advanced
  search capabilities. Most notably, you can search build results based
  on config options. You can for example search all build results that
  have BR2_PACKAGE_SYSTEMD=y, or any other option.

  This is particularly useful if you are looking at a package build
  failure, and wondering if this package was ever built as part of a
  fully successful build.

  This search used to be painfully slow on the old server. It is now
  still a bit slow, but much more usable.

Back to the server: we intend to migrate the official web site
(https://www.buildroot.org) to this new server, and also our
backup mirror (https://sources.buildroot.net), in an effort
to consolidate our infrastructure.

Best regards,

Thomas
