I noticed last night that hudson appeared to miss several submissions to
gerrit. Gerrit was having some issues at the time of the submissions
which may have been related.
There are several things that I believe should be done:
(1) setup an account that is not your personal account for the execution
of your Hudson instance. This would be for two reasons:
(a) distinguish what you have personally done from the automated
server.
(b) permit all of the e-mail messages generated as a result of
testing to be filtered.
(2) figure out someway of logging the configuration that is being tested
(configure script output?) and submitting it with the verified
action. This is critical for determining what platforms and
configurations have been tested. It will be even more important
when reported failures to Gerrit or openafs-bugs.
(3) Determine whether or not distributed builds can be supported.

buildbot is what is currently used for Heimdal and NetIdMgr. I would
like us to try
http://github.com/jaysoffian/buildbot/commit/e4c0d458374b9a0ce34c1e9e1c9813015b2e6add
since we know that buildbot does work well for distributed building and
testing on both UNIX/Linux and Windows.
Some point later this week Secure Endpoints will be trying it out on its
gerrit instance.
