We already keep some of the scripts that are used by Jenkins jobs in a
repository. It would probably be good to use that:

  https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs-patch-acceptance-tests/

At least on build.gluster.org this is checked out (manually) in /opt/qa.
I guess this should be done on the other slaves as well if that is not
the case yet. I think it would be nice to have very simple Jenkins jobs
that only execute scripts from this repository.
