This is only the Darwin cluster we are talking about. Since we are planning a hardware refresh, we won’t be switching any slaves.  Just bringing up a new system in parallel.  I have not talked with anyone about anything going into zorg yet, but most of our Projects get covered into shell or python scripts, so it makes sense for those to live somewhere in zorg.

Probably parametrized builds for the compilers, and matrix for LNT jobs.  To reduce the email on bad builds we always pipeline builds, and I’m not sure if matrix builds are going to work well in the pipeline.

If there's general interest in this feature, I'd be happy to upstream it.  The current implementation writes the JUnit XML to a file specified on the command line, so you also get the normal output.  It could be improved, but it's probably a sensible starting point for anyone wanting to work on this.
