Hi,

I just created a project for qtbase.git called "Qt5_Base" in Jenkins and 
then I changed the configuration as follows:

1) Source Code Management -> Git
    URL of repository: git://gitorious.org/qt/qtbase.git
    Branch Specifier : master

2) Build -> Execute Shell
    Command (without the #):
       # git clean -dqffx
       # git clone git://gitorious.org/qtqa/testconfig.git _testconfig
       # perl _testconfig/test.pl --project "QtBase master Integration" 
--stage "linux-g++-32 Ubuntu 10.04 x86"
       # git clean -dqffx

In addition, you will need to either put this command in your jenkins' 
user .bashrc or add the outcome to "Global properties -> Environment 
variables" in Jenkins:

eval $(perl -Mlocal::lib)

I'd also recommend you to make a personal clone of 
git://gitorious.org/qtqa/testconfig.git and 
git://gitorious.org/qt/qtqa.git so you can change all the configurations 
if you want to do so.

Here my clones if you want to check my configuration:

https://git.gitorious.org/~seahumad/qt/seahumads-qtqa.git
https://git.gitorious.org/~seahumad/qtqa/seahumads-testconfig.git

Finally, you can see my build log: http://pastebin.com/iNVph7DP . This 
is almost the same that the CI system is doing right now.

Cheers,
