I'm proposing to automate gcc's bootstrap & regtest: for each mail sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED], if 'From' is in gcc-developpers and 'body' contains a patch against some branch (ie. if it fails to apply to a branch, just drop it and warn the user), enqueue it for validation. The main server can be some script that monitors the availability of cpu ressources and that distributes the patches for validation. The answer can be a mail with just "passed witout regressions", or "patch causes regressions: <list of testcases that failed>". Bandwidth usage: size of incoming mail patch + size of answer + "cvs update -dP" every morning. Sebastian
