-A target platform is something like ''“NetBSD on x86”'' or ''“Win32 with Java 1.4”''. Technically, a target platform is a named set of rules against which build slaves are matched. Each rule is a regular expression matching a particular slave property, such as the operating system or the processor.

-The build master will request a build from at most one slave for every target platform. So for example, if there are three slaves connected that are running NetBSD on x86, only one of them will perform the build of a specific revision. Slaves that match a particular target platform are treated as if they were completely interchangable.

 If a slave connects that doesn't match any of the configured target platforms, the build master will reject its registration.
