jlbuild

Your comments are my commits

GitHub comment-based interface to testing buildbots. Simply ping @jlbuild in a comment, PR, issue, etc... and @jlbuild will do its best to build the relevant Julia version on all platforms, post download links and even execute small chunks of code across those plat forms.

The syntax of a @jlbuild command is as follows:

@jlbuild [hash] [!tag1] [!tag2]....
```
[julia code]
```

All pieces within square brackets are optional. If the comment being made is within a pull request, is a comment upon a specific commit, or in some other fashion is obviously related to a single Julia revision, @jlbuild should automatically figure out which commit you're discussing and build the appropriate version. However, you can always specify the version manually, e.g. @jlbuild 1a2b3c4d.

Tags are used to alter the default behavior of jlbuild somewhat. As of this writing, two tags are available:

• !nuke instructs the buildbots to completely clean out the buildbots before building this version of Julia, a very important feature when dealing with buildsystem changes. Example: @jlbuild 1a2b3c4d !nuke.

• !filter=x,y,z filters the buildbots that will be scheduled. Filters are comma-separated strings, where any builder that contains any of the filtering criterion will be included. Example: @jlbuild !nuke !filter=linux64,win,ppc.

• !flags=x,y,z will add extra flags to the make invocation that builds julia. Example: @jlbuild !filter=arm !flags=BUILD_CUSTOM_LIBCXX=1,BUILD_LLVM_CLANG=1.

Finally, Julia code can be included to be run using the newly-built version of Julia. Binary artifacts from the build will also be posted for easy access.
