[LLVMdev] Plans for the Apple supported Darwin buildbot cluster

[Rick Foos]

Got it. Thanks.

If everyone were agreeable and a Jenkins server appeared at 
lab.llvm.org:8080, I'd be glad to start moving builders over to it.

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.

>>> We're currently running LLVM test builds in Jenkins and I have patched lit to produce JUnit XML output that Jenkins can consume (it's not pretty, but it does at least let you produce the graphs of tests / failures for each build).  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.
