It's basicly what svnbuildstat.d.n do. It's not perfect but
shouldn't we work on the integration of the two tools.
1/ John Smith uploads its package on http://mentors.debian.net/
2/ m.d.n accepts the package and notifys svnbs.d.n
3/ svnbs.d.n fetchs the new source package
4/ svnbs.d.n add the package in its DB
5/ the buildbots build and run the QA tools and upload there results to
svnbs.d.n
6/ provide through an undefined webservice an access to the DB.
Cheers,
Gonéri
