It's now much, much easier to test LLVM buildbot changes locally (e.g. new workers/builders or other config changes) - let me know if you have problems and as noted in the thread, further tweaks/tips to the docs are appreciated!.

TL;DR: There’s now a working, documented flow for locally testing changes to the buildbot setup (new builders, or even broader llvm-zorg infra changes). I’ve recently landed a series of changes which...

ICYMI, there's been a big discussion on evolving MLIR project governance, defining a technical charter, and restructuring the codebase. If you're an MLIR user/developer, be sure to fill in the just-posted survey intended to help further guide this debate

Wonderful to meet so many new people and catch up with others at both the RISC-V Summit and LLVM Developers' Meeting this week. If only the two events didn't overlap. As always, many people I didn't get a chance to chat to - hopefully next time!

You have a cross-compiled build tree of ~10GiB or so you want to run tests against "natively" under qemu-system. How best to access it?. TL;DR: just pay the upfront cost mkfs.ext4/mksquashfs, recouped by faster access times.

And now a fetcher for forum.nim-lang.​org, an undocumented "test-fetcher" action, and properly setting the number of replies in all of the forum fetchers. I think I'm feature complete as far as I'm concerned at this point.
