[flang-dev] Helping out with flang

[Caroline Concatto via flang-dev]

Hi Diana,

Just in case... I can see the nation asking for more buildbots.
If you have spare machines and it can be used on lab.llvm I can help you with the configurations. 
The process to add them on lab.llvm is simple.
Please let me know if you need help. 
I'll be happy to help.

Carol

We don't have a concrete roadmap to get more hardware for bots at the moment so if you have machines available today that would be a great help. Carol Concatto is co-ordinating the work so you should sync up with her to figure out how best to maximize configuration coverage across your bots and ours.


    As we've recently discussed on a different thread, it would be very 
    useful to have a buildbot that builds Flang in the "out of tree" 
    configuration. We likely also need a better spread of host compilers and 
    versions.

    > Flang is not the finished article yet so what we are doing for the LLVM11 release is adding a release note explaining what it can and can’t do [1]. We also need to get the documentation building properly [2] It would be great to get your thoughts on what more/else we should be doing here given your experience as a release tester.
