Patch checking robot coming

[Dan Kegel]

After some discussion with Jeremy and Alexandre
about how nice it would be to have some automated
way to check patches before Alexandre commits them,
I decided to have a go at creating one.

What I have so far is a script that watches wine-patches
and applies each patch to current git, then builds,
and sends email with a subject line saying whether
it worked, and a body containing a short "I'm a build robot"
note, the patch, and the build log.

You can see the code at
http://code.google.com/p/winezeug/source/browse/#svn/trunk/patchwatcher
Its main failing is that it doesn't understand patch
series yet, but I should be able to get that going
by rewriting get-next-patch.pl to take a bit more context into account.

Right now it only emails the results to me, but it's probably
nearly good enough to show results to other people.

Question: where should the results go?
I could put them up on a web site
and/or email them to the patch's author
and/or email them to a dedicated mailing list (e.g.
wine-patches-buildlogs at winehq.org?)
and/or email them to wine-devel.
