So, after playing with buildbot for a few days here are some thoughts. a) It doesn't like to be behind a NAT firewall/router. The author says he has some fixes coming that will hopefully help this situation.
b) It seems pretty silly to build trunk and the 3.0 branch everytime there is commit. I haven't done enough digging to see if there is a way to trigger one set of builders vs. another. Anyone know? Maybe it is something that procmail can do for us. c) Eventually the buildbot status page is going to get huge. Maybe we should consider seperating out the trunk vs 3.0 branch masters. I think this would mean seperate slaves on the client boxes but it might be required to accomplish b (see above). d) Is there anything else we want to investigate here as an alternative? Tinderbox? Gump? I'm not saying we need/have to switch, buildbot seems to be working semi-well and is at least hackable, just wondering if there is a better answer to the question. Michael
