I do not think this is sufficiently precise to be a trac ticket. This should be made into a single precise clear task that somebody volunteers to do or closed as invalid.

Buildbot Implementation Plan

1. Setup Buildbot master and slaves for release testing: Implement shellcommand interfaces to download, build and test candidate tarballs

• includes configuring status delivery via mail / web and irc

2. Integration with Hg: finer grained use of distributed testing through Hg pull

3. Twisted PB integration: Buildbot supports PB and can be used for real-time status

4. Integration with test framework: unittest and doctest

I'm reopening this, because it's important and overdue. We can discuss possible approaches on sage-devel.

Can this now be closed, since the buildbot is working?

What IRC integration would be desirable?

Oh, I just wanted to improve sagebot's trac reporting. I also want to do some other stuff with trac tracking, but none of this is related to the buildbot.

It's working, but not very well.

Anybody has any clue what's wrong with

I'm putting this to needs review, since the buildbot is clearly already an active part of the release process. If there are things to be improved there should be a new ticket (not this one whose goal was to get something running in the first place).

What is there to review? It seems to me like you are proposing to close this ticket outright, in which case the correct status should be positive_review (so the release manager sees it).
