Ok. This would be very interesting. You can find ours here:
http://people.b1-systems.de/~gollub/buildbot/qemu-master-1297163676.cfg

Quick attempt from porting our qemu-kvm.git buildbot configuration to 
qemu.git. qemu-stable-0.14.git is  currently missing. But should be easy once 
it got added as mirror-branch in qemu.git (in case this is still planned?).


The qemu.git buildbot is running:
http://buildbot.b1-systems.de/qemu/

(The qemu.git repo seems to be slow right now couldn't get a full git-fetch 
without timeout yet)


This buildbot configuration for qemu.git is running build-tests for x86_64 and 
i386. And build-tests out-of-tree builds, as well as build with: --disable-kvm 
and a plain: ./configure; make


We're still running a quite old version of buildbot. But i plan to upgrade 
this one very soon. Since this version doesn't support Git-Poller yet, and 
relys on a git-post-commit hook. (Which cause for qemu-kvm.git and kvm.git 
some trouble due to git.kernel.org syncing issues which were delayed)

The qemu-kvm.git and the qemu.git have currently buildslaves for 32 and 64bit 
x86 Linux.

For kvm.git we added few month ago cross-compiling to provide build-testing 
for different architectures. Do you think this would be helpful for qemu.git 
as well?

http://buildbot.b1-systems.de/kvm/waterfall

One x86_64 builder provies cross-compiling for:
x86_64, i386, s390, ia64, ppc44x, ppc64

This would be great if you and other would volunteer to contribute some more 
buildslaves. Especially for different platforms which are not covered yet.

Should be easy to add. Just let me know which one we should add.
I'll looking into those which got already mentioned on the list.

Would be great if we could join our efforts. I'll great later a git repo to 
maintain the different buildbot configuration - so people can easily extended 
the configuration and add more tests or add different buildflags. And we just 
merge those in our buildbot master.


Best Regards,
Daniel
