It looks like the problem is that the buildbot is currently using an 0.26pre1 binary, the first ever roster release, and at some point in the last month our history started tickling the one roster construction bug that was in that release :-). I just upgraded it to 0.30 (because that's the binary I had lying around that the server is using), and it seems to be minimally functional again. In the longer term, we really need to get off the decrepit old buildbot code we're using -- the problem being that we don't have good monotone integration for current mainline buildbot. Current mainline buildbot does have integration for an old version of monotone; it just needs to be updated to work with the modern interface. And we even have several good pieces of python code for parsing basic_io, etc., out there now (in viewmtn, trac+mtn, etc.), which didn't exist when I was first using duct tape to hold things together so we could get through transition to rosters... so it shouldn't be that hard to do... Maybe I can offer a bribe or something? Free monotone shirt to anyone who gets good mtn support into buildbot mainline? Or a cd or something, I dunno? :-) (Same offer for anyone who makes the nightly coverage tracking stuff start working again; some changes in upstream matplotlib broke it a while back, and I haven't had time to get it running again since... the code is pretty straightforward and can be grabbed with mtn pull venge.net org.vorpus.monotone-cov* .) -- Nathaniel -- Eternity is very long, especially towards the end. -- Woody Allen _______________________________________________ Monotone-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/monotone-devel
