Very good idea, nip a bad commit and report on the failure in hours. > GitHub provides Travis CI to run tests etc everytime a commit is > pushed to the repo. > > I already have a (rather big) docker image here that compiles the > amanda-code.

Doing linuxcnc right on the pi would allow my install to stay current with Master on the pi, which has been frozen at last Septembers level since John K. got tired of fighting with with the odroid he was building the armhf version with, it was crashing several times a week. I have my pi fan cooled, and its uptimes are from power bump to power bump. And it may as well be doing something as its actual use is best described as quite intermittent. I had to make an armstrong bolt about 3 weeks back was its last job. > Nice paradigm shift once you learned the basics.
