buildbot for alternative architectures now online

[Kai Nacke via digitalmars-d-ldc]

Hi all!

LDC is usable on other architectures than x86/x86_64, too. But 
since we lacked a CI server we often created regressions without 
noticing.

To improve the situation I have created my own buildbot setup. 
Currently there are the following slaves available: armv7 
(IFC6410 board, Krait CPU, hardfloat), armv8 (Runabove cloud 
image), POWER8 (PowerLinux provided by OSU Open Source Lab). I 
hope to add a second POWER8 slave soon, too.
The slaves start a build as soon as a change on the ltsmaster, 
master or merge-2.071 branch is detected. The setup is still not 
perfect but it is sufficient to see that the armv7 build from 
ltsmaster is almost green. :-)

The UI can be reached at http://buildbot.ldc-developers.org/. (I 
still work on the configuration - expect still some instability. 
Alternate address is currently 
http://redstarbuildbot.mynetgear.com:12080/ in case the official 
address wn't work.)

Do you like to support LDC development on alternative targets? If 
you have a box which has enough resources to build LDC and you 
are willing to run your own build slave then I can add your build 
slave to the setup. :-)

Regards,
Kai
