Is there any way to verify that builder-client can actually do a successful build, without having access to the build system server? 'builder-client --do-build' wants to connect and authenticate first; it would be helpful if there was a way to bypass that so that I can first verify the local build environment is sane.

This is because the builder client gets the commands to be executed from the server. A naive solution would be to put the commands in the script and run it.

You can find the current set of installed commands at one of the active builders page, e.g. [1]. Note that you may have to change some of them, such as the flags passed to configure script and name of the make(1) command.

Just to revive this thread a bit, I notice that the builds with failing test results are still marked as successful. Would it not be useful to indicate that there are failing tests somehow? It'd be a shame to have various test results from multiple machines but not use them. -- Mateusz K.
