Add to Try Server Automated Testing Support

Introduction

We are trying to add to a Try Server, that will be set up at Seneca, automated testing support (TUnit (make check), mochitest, reftests, crashtest)

- SERVER NEWS: The main OS (CentOS 5.1 and Windows 2003 Server) are installed. Once they are configured we will duplicate them to the rest of the nodes.
- Soon the server will be completely running and we will have access to it
- I have added a repository svn:Seneca Hera Try Server - automated-testing integration an I am modifying the master.cfg file to meet the purposes; It is based on buildbot-configs/testing/unittest/
- I might set up this Saturday my own try server at home

mozbuild.py and the test suites classes defined

- We are waiting for the Buildbot Farm to be set up at Seneca
- At this point I have been able to run "make check" tests and mochitests. Explained in blog how to do this
- Read Buildbot manual, discovered that I have to write some Build Steps but there's some configuration done by the community (check links section)

You can see which tasks get done at the bottom of this page
I will add the instructions on how to set up a Buildbot try server when I do it at my house
The image on the side shows the classes that are defined in the mozbuild.py which are later on used as Buildsteps on the master.cfg file
