ANNOUNCE: Tinderbox 2.2.0 available

[Joe Marcus Clarke]

After quite a few release candidates, and some great bug fixes, I am
pleased to announce the availability of Tinderbox 2.2.0.  The Tinderbox
2.x series represents stable release with relatively small feature
additions and bug fixes.  Work towards a distributed multi-node
Tinderbox is well on its way in CVS HEAD.

Tinderbox 2.2.0 offers the following new features and fixes:

* Tinderbox now provides reasons why a port build may have failed, and
these reasons can be displayed using the www-exp frontend.  A new -nolog
option was added to tinderbuild to turn this feature off.

* There is a new -onceonly option to tinderbuild that disables the phase
2 tinderbuild pass.

* A new -trybroken flag was added to tinderbuild to build ports that are
marked BROKEN.

* A new -jobs flag was added to tinderbuild to control how many parallel
make jobs are spawned during a build.

* Ports that are marked as IGNORE (or that otherwise duds) are now
properly displayed in the www-exp frontend.

* A new script called ``enterbuild'' has been added to drop into a
running build just before a port is built for purposes of in-depth
troubleshooting.  See the README for more details.

* A bell character ('\007') is printed at the end of a tinderbuild to
alert the user the build has completed.

* Various bugs have been fixed.

Thanks to all our testers and developers who helped to make this release
a tremendous success.
