hm, from my understanding, #1 is the purpose of tinderboxes. That idle buildbots also feed the tinder results is a nice side-effect, but not the main purpose IMHO. Instead, I definitely think #2 is the real thing, concurring with Caolan - allows hackers, QA people & interested users to have a look at a CWS *as it would come out of HH when integrated* > so the Buildbots seem to rather obey rule #1 now. > The question is if we want to neglect this task of the bots in favor of > #2 or not. > Please. At least for the HH-maintained ones. Probably, for the RedFlag ones, they want to use *their* baseline environment there.
