Thank you. (And thank you to Carl K.)

I have had it running the "Test" for a few hours.

The webpage says "Once you have found that your tinderbox is working, you
can change the tree from 'Test' to 'XMonolithic' in run-client.sh"

How do you know the tinderbox is working? How do I know when to change
from "Test" to "XMonolithic"?

I did look at the
http://freedesktop.org/cgi-bin/tinderbox3/showbuilds.pl?tree=Test webpage
but I don't have any idea what this means.

Will it ("Test") stop? Or does it run forever?

Also, the TinderboxWiki webpage says "Once a day ... the entire directory
is deleted and the files checked out fresh".

Is there a way to skip that? I'd rather not download files again and again
... Isn't "cvs up -dP" good enough?
