Comment:

 Hi,
   I just added a diff of the change I made to BuildBot 0.8.1 to resolve
 this P4 Tickets
   issue.  Info:

   * P4 Tickets can be passed in directly on the command line of p4 but
 that can be a
     security issue.
   * P4 Tickets can be passed in via an ENV var "P4TICKETS" that contains a
 reference to
     a P4 Tickets file.  Much better.  I used this option.

   The trick is to set the ENV variable "P4TICKETS" before invoking
 BuildBot so it gets
   passed in.  Then all you need to do is assure that the tickets in the P4
 Tickets file
   are valid.

   Could this be ready for 0.8.2?
