The Win 64bit buildbots are not under my control, however I am gently
nudging those people who maintain those machines whenever builds stop
flowing out to QA. As Pedro notes as well, I believe that several
people have pinged the appropriate tb owners, so at this point it's
important that we remain cordial and try to be patient for the
machines to come back online.

That being said, I'll check again with the devs on Monday, and
hopefully we'll be able to pinpoint the specific hiccups and get a
testing build out by Monday or Tuesday. I know that the devs are also
looking to bring more hardware into service as tinderboxes in the next
few weeks, so hopefully we'll have better coverage soon.

Great, thanks!

Right now I only see one Windows tb listed as a daily builder for 5.0
and one that's currently producing daily's for master:
http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/libreoffice-5-0/
http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/Win-x86@39/

Cloph has a lot more knowledge of the current flock of tinderboxes
than I, so I'll make sure to work with him to contact remaining tb
owners and get those machines producing new builds.

As always, we definitely do encourage all people in QA to consider
building LibreOffice from scratch, as that not only allows you to pick
exactly the branch and commit, but also helps us to identify any
problems in compilation or our documentation for compiling
LibreOffice.

(Per request from the developers:
If you have any problems building LibreOffice, please direct your
inquiries directly to the dev list, and not to Bugzilla)

Cheers,
