Hi,

I would like to change the build type of the Windows7 nightly build from incremental to clean.

Reasons in favor of a clean build are:

- Developers don't have to know if a change is incompatible and thus have to (somehow) trigger a clean build.

- Developers don't have to learn how to trigger a clean build.

- We avoid very subtle bugs that are introduced when an incremental build is made on incompatible changes. Issues 122047 and 122048 may be caused by such a broken build: the office works in general, only commands are mapped to the wrong ids.
  It is not acceptable to have builds that we can not rely on.

If no one objects in the coming 72 hours then I will change the buildbot configuration file to make clean Windows7 nightly builds. I will then try to pinpoint and fix any build errors. Any help is appreciated.

I have started to collect the available documentation on the buildbots [1] but many parts are missing. For example I have not yet found much on the buildbot configuration file. Anyone who knows more, please update the wiki page.

Regards,
Andre
