It's easy:

- find out which platforms should be supported with autmatic testing
- define the build environment etc. for builds suitable for automatic
testing on that platform
- either provide or find others to provide a sufficient number of build
bots that meet the first two requirements

Nobody ever requested that build bots should be provided or maintained
for arbitraty platforms, and AFAIK we don't need localized builds for
automatic testing, so don't make it more complicated as it is.

I wonder why we are still discussing: you have stated that you want to
move automatic testintg to test bots. Great, and the build bots we are
talking about are the necessary precondition for that. It seems that we
agree on that.

I just want to add that we don't need to wait until your vision gets
reality: we can start with the build bots that we will need for the
test bots anyway, and we can even start right now. I hope this can
prevent that André will get a whiplash from shaking his head too
vigorously. ;-)

Any question to be answered left?

Regards,
Mathias
