Have a look at http://server.roeck-us.net:8010/waterfall.

If everything works as intended, we should get automated builds
for various platforms, plus automated qemu tests for some of them.

I have qemu boot tests running for mips (3.4 and 3.10), ppc (3.0, 3.4, 3.10),
and x86 (3.0, 3.4, 3.10) working. x86_64 and mips64 should follow soon.

Unfortunately, arm tests don't work yet because of a bug in the arm
kernel code.

Builds are started about 30 minutes after a change in the stable-queue
repository has been detected, and complete after 3-4 hours unless
the servers are busy doing real work. Which explains why I can annoy
you with results pretty quickly lately :).
