I have no experience with jenkins, but plan a tbot integration
for it ... Uh... why is it so bad?

I use buildbot too on my raspberry pi in conjunction with tbot.
See for an example [1] (currently some boards not really working, I have
to look at it ...)

I failed to integrate for example some images tbot creates at the end,
also results from test/py into buildbot ... so I created a tbot event
backend, which writes some results into a mySQL database and made a
really simple php script ... see [2]

Ah, yes ... and at the end buildbot was the reason why I started
with tbot (and writting it in python).
