It should be public so therefore asking here for suggestions, extensions are welcome for: http://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/BuildBot It is expected to deploy some existing testbot framework. Why the testbot is needed: People do not always run all the possible configuration options combinations: http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2011-02/msg00556.html http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2011-03/msg00602.html People do not have all the tooling pre-requisites for full testing available: http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2011-03/msg00609.html etc. Unfortunately I do not know what is deployed for GCC. Contrary to GCC the project GDB is more dependent primarily on GCC but also even on kernel ptrace, glibc, fpc (Free Pascal Compiler) etc. Where to run it? There is http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/CompileFarm so maybe it is sufficient for runs against various GCCs. One cannot do there various OS virtualizations but I do not expect and find OK this public testbot would cover all the specific regression test runs I do specifically for Fedora. Thanks, Jan
