Hi Matisse, this is not something that works out-of-the-box ... buildbot 
is currently designed to only track one repository. Multi repositories 
is work in progress, and can be tracked with the 'buildcoord' keyword in 
the bug tracker. [1]

For what you are looking for, though, I guess the 'alwaysUseLatest' [2] 
parameter of any Source Checkout Step could be fitting your needs.

Best Regards,
Benoit

I screwed up.  *I* can't attend a summit on the 15th.  So, back to
Friday the 17th of December.

I know this excludes a few people, but it's the best option we have.
I'm sorry if this screws up anyone's plans - please let me know if I
can help make it right.

If you want to send what you have, I'd be happy to take a look.

Re: Setting the revision to use in a buildbot.steps.trigger.Trigger (for cross-repository triggering)

Thanks.

alwayUseLatest could work- but I am trying to avoid having two  
builders for each "downstream" repo.
I'll see what's in the works in trac - maybe my team can help move  
things along.

Because of the tendency with git to use several smaller repos I  
suspect this issue comes up more as gut becomes more widespread.

(with got you cannot clone an arbitrary subdirectory from a repo as  
you might with e.g. SVN at least I think that's true)

Obtaining build start time from a step

Is it possible to get the start time of a build from inside of a step? I'm a little lost-- seems like it should be
there somewhere since it is shown on the build status page, but I don't know how to find an instance of
IBuildStatus on a running build (or something equivalent). 

Thanks,

VCS polling question

Guys,

After using buildbot for quite some time (since at least 0.72 iirc) there one question that has always
bugged me - how are VCS changes associated with schedulers?

For example, I have 28 SVNpoller's set up, each one is a different project we build in buildbot.  We have 24
build servers, each of which is associated with a factory for each of the 28 projects (our waterfall is very
wide :) )

When we had 1 project being built we were using the Scheduler to pick up changes, but as our projects grew we
swapped to using Periodic so we could build some projects nightly (due to interdependencies) and some
were manually kicked off.  Now we would like to swap back to using Scheduler for some of the projects. 
However, I cannot see how the SVNPoller knows which Scheduler to tell to start the builds when a change
comes in.

All the VCS sources have a 'project' attribute that could be used for this, but that doesnt appear to be
available on the Scheduler to link the two together.

What am I missing?  I have read through the docs a few times and still havn't got it, and I am not much of a python
coder to go through the source.....

Thanks

  Duncs

I don't see how this would imply two builders, just two Source steps, 
and both can (and have to) happen on the same builder if you want anyway 
the source of both repository on the same place. A source step is just 
one more step inside your builder config.
The drawback of this method is that it won't be possible to ask buildbot 
to make a specific build again, as for each build, he now will store 
"useLatest" instead of the right revision.

That would be really great ! For now, buildbot has an internal state 
called "SourceStamp". The goal is to introduce an "AggregateSourceStamp" 
that would, well, be the aggregation of multiple SourceStamps, such 
that, and here comes the part that interest you, this object could be 
given to the Source Step and care about *all* the repositories.

You are completely right, that is something highly demanded, to an
