One of the projects the Launchpad Squads (yellow) have been working on has been the Parallel Testing during the last cycle, this has now been completed and is now in operation. WebOps have today finished setting up parallel testing in buildbot. Buildbot-poll has been updated to know about the new builders, and the developers have  confirmed that [testfix] and automatic stable merging etc. work fine. Nothing should have changed except that builds now take 35 minutes rather than 6.5 hours.

If something goes wrong, http://lpbuildbot.canonical.com/waterfall and https://dev.launchpad.net/yellow/ParallelTestingTroubleshooting may be helpful. The buildbot master is still praseodymium, but the slaves are new: sluagh for devel, and radande for db-devel. If you need packages upgraded on the slaves, poke WebOps as before.
