Eelco Dolstra c556a6ea46 * "ensureDir" -> "mkdir -p". "ensureDir" is a rather pointless
function, so obsolete it.

longDescription =
'' The BuildBot is a system to automate the compile/test cycle
required by most software projects to validate code changes. By
automatically rebuilding and testing the tree each time something
has changed, build problems are pinpointed quickly, before other
developers are inconvenienced by the failure. The guilty
developer can be identified and harassed without human
intervention. By running the builds on a variety of platforms,
developers who do not have the facilities to test their changes
everywhere before checkin will at least know shortly afterwards
whether they have broken the build or not. Warning counts, lint
checks, image size, compile time, and other build parameters can
be tracked over time, are more visible, and are therefore easier
to improve.
The overall goal is to reduce tree breakage and provide a platform
to run tests or code-quality checks that are too annoying or
pedantic for any human to waste their time with. Developers get
immediate (and potentially public) feedback about their changes,
encouraging them to be more careful about testing before checking
in code.
