The Exim Build Farm Client software is run on machines to build and test the [Exim](http://www.exim.org) MTA software. It uses the current development tree and rebuilds/tests Exim when new commits are added to the [Exim source repository](https://github.com/Exim/exim). The result are recorded and reported back to the [Exim Build Farm](http://eximbuild.mrball.net) website where developers and interested parties can review builds and tests across various distros and versions.

## Overview
-In the default configuration, a full rebuild of Exim will occur when a new commit to the monitored branches occurs or every 7 days, and it will also build and run the test suite. You can choose to have it also build the docs, but there are several extra package requirements for it to build the documentation.

Review your enabled features in the Makefile and make adjustments to your *build-farm.conf* to enable those features, using either the makefile_set, makefile_add, or makefile_regex. You may also receive requests from the developers to enable specific features on your build. Documentation for enabling these in [build-config.conf](https://github.com/mrballcb/exim-build-farm-client/wiki/BuildConfigConf) is elsewhere.
