Currently we have Travis enabled, which means whenever a branch is
pushed to Github (and the user has Travis enabled), it will run
against that branch. This can be useful for testing before submission:

https://travis-ci.org/shenki/pdbg/builds/415311411

I got Stewart to turn this on for the main repository too, so builds
should start showing up here:

 https://travis-ci.org/open-power/pdbg

We also have snowpatch building patches that are sent to the mailing
list, and updating the "tested" status on patchwork. I think will also
email you if your patch is broken:

 https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/956833/

There's a different job that will build master. This one doesn't
report anywhere yet:

 https://openpower.xyz/job/openpower/job/pdbg-master/

I will add some documentation to the repository explaining all of
this. The missing piece is to run this on real hardware somewhere.

Cheers,

Joel
