Here’s the code: https://dpaste.de/25Ya
This was written for a Buildbot master running on Windows, monitoring a Windows share that was a poor excuse for a source control system on one, fleeting project. If you’re mounting the Windows share to linux (I assume via smbmount or some Samba component, then the code could actually be a lot simpler. A windows “dir /s /a <drive letter:” command’s output includes the drive letter and the free space info, which would be both different and irrelevant, so this module included code to normalize/cut that portion of the output before comparing an SSA256 signature for changes. A linux implementation shouldn’t need anything like that. The “ls -lRa /monitored/directory” output shouldn’t require any sort of normalization. That dpaste.de URL will only be available for 7 days, so save the text. Enjoy, -G ””” Glen R. J. Neff .:|:.:|:.

I’ve been trying to read the docs on writing a change poller, but I haven’t found much info. The directory I am monitoring is actually on a windows file share, but I’m not sure how that would make a difference. The other automated build system is on a windows machine and I need to provide some windows and Linux executables in the same package. The windows executable runs under Wine on Linux. Thanks!

I stored a SHA256 sum of a recursive directory listing for the file tree in question, and the plugin would grab the same listing, and compare the SHA256 sums as the change trigger. I could share the code if asked nicely. -G ””” Glen R. J. Neff .:|:.:|:.

If this is the wrong place, let me know. Instead of polling a repository for a change, is there a way to poll a directory? On a Linux machine, I’d like to check a directory to see if any new files show up and schedule a build when they do. Unfortunately, I have another automated build system that isn’t using buildbot and I’d like buildbot to do a build whenever the other system finishes a build. Ken Dalka Staff Software Engineer W. H.
