Hudson testing of patches

[Alan Gates <ga...@yahoo-inc.com>]

We've had many questions on this, so I'm sending this to everyone on  
the dev list in hopes of clarifying the situation.  Our Hudson setup  
for testing patches is falsely returning failures on all or most unit  
tests for all patches.  So if you submit a patch and all the unit  
tests fail, don't worry.  We are working on getting Hudson fixed.  We  
committers are working through the patch queue manually, running the  
unit tests ourselves.  As we don't work all night like Hudson and each  
run of the unit tests takes about 3 hours, this is going slowly.  But  
please know we will get to your patches, even if it takes us a day or  
two.

Alan.
