it shouldn't be difficult to cobble together a build script that spins up a buildslave on EC2 and runs the tests there; I wrote something similar a few years ago for an infrequently connected home machine.
Ok - so it would be the master running this script? Sounds reasonable to me. As for EC2 (and other cloud providers); I'm somewhat skeptical about platform coverage, also. How many different processors and operating systems can they possibly support? Regards, Martin
