    I tried to look into this and couldn't find anything for buildbot in my copy of the tree.  Is it available for developers to inspect?

We don't have anything in the tree, but setting up buildbot is quite
easy. I have it running at work for the targets we're using.

Building is just a matter of:

svn update
yes ''|make <target>_defconfig
yes ''|make

Or in buildbot syntax:

    f1 = factory.BuildFactory()
    f1.addStep(SVN(svnurl=SVNURL, mode="copy"))
    f1.addStep(Configure(command="yes ''|make "+target + "_defconfig"))
    f1.addStep(Compile(command="yes ''|make -s"))

The yes '' stuff is for when buildroot asks for user input.

    Actually I was hunting for any BR support for the next step - kicking off an automated test cycle after a config builds correctly.  If that doesn't exist yet (and no one else has claimed this turf), I'll go off into a corner and figure out how to write something for buildbot.

    Thank you for putting me into the ballpark.

It would be interesting if we could check the following per package:
 - That all binaries/libs are stripped
 - That they are for the correct architecture
 - That the clean target removes everything again (do a find
   $(TARGET_DIR) before and after and diff
