 I've got a scheduler which is dependent on my main build:

 {{{
  sched_visit = Scheduler(
    name="sched-build",
    branch=None,
    treeStableTimer=2*60,
    builderNames=["main-debian-lenny-amd64", "main-osuse-11.1-amd64",
                  "main-osx-10.5-x86"]
  )
  sched_tests_databases = Dependent(
    name="sched-tests-databases",
    upstream=sched_visit,
    builderNames = ["test-db-s-debian-lenny-amd64",
                    "test-db-s-osuse-11.1-amd64",
                    "test-db-s-osx-10.5-x86"]
  )
 }}}

 These share the same set of slaves; for example:

 {{{
  tjf_builders.append({
    'name': "main-debian-lenny-amd64",
    'slavenames': ["tjf-debian-lenny-amd64"],
    'builddir': "main-%s" % "lenny-amd64",
    'env': {'VISITARCH' : "bbot", 'BBDIR' : "lenny-amd64" },
    'factory': f_incremental_visit,
    'locks': [single_bld.access('counting')]
  })
  tjf_builders.append({
    'name': "test-db-s-debian-lenny-amd64",
    'slavenames': ["tjf-debian-lenny-amd64"],
    'builddir': "test-db-s-%s" % "lenny-amd64",
    'env': {'VISITARCH' : "bbot", 'BBDIR' : "lenny-amd64" },
    'factory': f_tests_db,
    'locks': [single_bld.access('counting')]
  })
 }}}

 in the `/builders/` web interface, the `test-db-s` builders end up with a
 status of "building" while the `main-` builders are running.  This is a
 bit confusing; it would be nicer if these said "Queued", or something else
 to indicate they are not running, but will at some point.
