[Bf-committers] Making test builds for WIP projects.

[Dalai Felinto]

Hi,
This is great, really useful. It would be really handy if at least the
testbuild branch in the server could use non-fast-forward. In other
words, if it could use it as follow:

$ git checkout testbuild
$ git reset --hard origin/master
$ git merge --squash mywippatch
$ git commit
$ git push --force

Would that be possible? Or git handles those permissions globally and
not per branch?

Cheers,
Dalai

> Here are the steps to follow:
> * Checkout the 'testbuild' branch, apply your code to it (probably by
> reseting it to master and then squash-merging in your own work);
> * Push your changes on remote repo;
> * Go to one of the buildbot's builders' page (e.g.
> https://builder.blender.org/builders/linux_glibc211_x86_64_scons) - note
> you'll need to do that for all platforms you want to build on.
> * Select 'testbuild' instead of 'master' in the branch dropdown, and
> force the build.
> * Note you can also force a given revision, can be handy as it means you
> can still build your work even if someone has overriden it in testbuild
> branch.
> * Download your testbuild as soon as it is finished! It will be replaced
> by the next test build (for a given builder).

> Quite obviously, let's try not to abuse the feature! :)
