I use the Y-AB for nightly builds and to populate DL_DIR and friends. 
It's also not unusual to use this machine as the "master" PRSERV. What 
you are saying is that if I do so through the ab-prserv script (which I 
would like to use) it will automatically update PRServer and suggest as 
a work around to move my PRServer to another machine?


I would like to use Y-AB and run the PRServer on it as well - ideally by 
using the script. So I guess I'll need to hack the ab-prserv script.


How can you do QA with the Y-AB in it's "default mode" where it 
potentially updates the PRServer whenever you restart it? And you need 
to restart it e.g. to add/modify configuration files.
I also can't see any indication which version of the PRServer is being 
used in the build logs.

Joshua

The bitbake repository is fetched by the ab-prserv script, the purpose
of which is to run a PRServer for the autobuilder.

The ab-prserv script, and the code which calls it in yocto-start-
autobuilder, won't start the script if PRSERV_HOST and PRSERV_PORT
aren't set.

If you point PRSERV_HOST and PRSERV_PORT at a non-localhost PRServer
the git repo won't be fetched/updated.

Joshua
