Once Poky was released Richard, Marcin and myself started pushing upgrades into Poky trunk, resulting in 96 commits during the day. These generally worked on our personal machines, but thanks to the incremental autobuilder (which compiles all of the packages for five different targets) all of the problems were caught rapidly and fixed by the end of the day. As a well-done present the nightly autobuilder (which does a clean build) managed to build everything successfully for almost all of the targets. Impressive stuff really, without buildbot I doubt we'd have been able to upgrade autotools, Linux, X, and GNOME in one day and still produce working images the next.
