Multi-OS Emacs buildbot?

[Lars Ingebrigtsen]

Over the past few months, I've installed a whole bunch of VMs with
different operating systems to help debug various problems.  Now that
I've got them, I'm wondering whether it would be helpful to do a
buildbot kind of thing across them all?

This can either be a lot of work if done right, or it can be done very
simply.  Doing it right would mean automatically building on all
commits, and notifying the committer about breakages etc...  but that's,
like, real work, and I'm not volunteering to do that at all.

A much simpler solution would be to just write a script that ssh-es to
all the VMs once a day, "git pull; make bootstrap; make check" and then
make a summary report on all the tests that fail to some new Emacs
mailing list.  I can do that; it's trivial.

It'd be...  somewhat useful?  But not really that useful?  Opinions?

(My current VM collection is FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Windows 10
w/Cygwin, Macos-es catalina, mojave and high sierra (with HomeBrew),
Macos catalina (with Macports), and Fedora.  Big Sur and Windows 10
w/MinGW soon to follow.)
