So I just queued them up once I have more time (beginning in F= ebruary=20 > or so) [snip] Some kind of reply indicating so would've been nice, you were already CC'ed last year a few times. ;) Anyway, my point is that we are approaching Hard Freeze and seeing weekly pulls with recurring breakages on one or another platform (pci o= n ppc, s390x on mingw32). Some people have been assuming that if they don't get mails from the build bots then their tree is okay to merge. Our shortened release cycle leads to two weeks of Soft Freeze where everyone pushes their queues before Feb 1 and most breakages occur. During Hard Freeze we can still try to fix anything the bots report, bu= t catching errors before they land in master would be better: At QEMU Summit Anthony requested that each submaintainer's tree be adde= d to the buildbot system; if there are as you now indicate build power shortages, I suggest you specify what exactly is needed, maybe someone in the community can help out. To me it was not clear at least. The revived ppc slave is hopefully not running into a bottleneck yet. :) I'll take a look at the config later.
