Hi,

I recently had a chance to learn a bit more about buildbot, and it
occurred to me than adding a new builder for testing tracker patches
shouldn't be too difficult.

This is how it should work:
   1) a new "Test with buildbot" (or whatever) button is added to the
tracker next to each patch, and developers/triagers can press it to
trigger the build;
   2) the buildbot builder receives the URL of the issue and of the
patch and run all the usual steps with two differences:
     a) a new step to run "hg import --no-c url_of_the_patch" is added
after the cloning step;
     b) an email with the results is sent back to the bug tracker once
the slaves are done;

I guess the question is: which problem is being solved?

- have tests run faster - that's unlikely, unless we get a very fast builder
- have tests run more reliably - unlikely as well, IMO
- run tests on a different environment - that's useful; but that assumes we have a couple different builders which are fast, reliable and with a diversity of OSes

Regards

Antoine.
