#2481: CopyDirectory missing from buildbot.steps.slave in 0.8.7p1
-----------------------------+---------------------------------

    Type:  defect            |     Status:  new
Priority:  patches-accepted  |  Milestone:  undecided
 Version:  0.8.7p1           |   Keywords:  steps, slaves, copy
-----------------------------+---------------------------------
 Working on Ubuntu 12.04, I did pip install buildbot --upgrade to get the
 latest version (0.8.7p1). It installs in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-
 packages/buildbot, and is successful (typing buildbot --version prints
 0.8.7p1).

 However, when I try to add a CopyDirectory step to one of my builers, I
 get

 Traceback (most recent call last):
 ...
    File "/var/lib/buildbot/masters/master.cfg", line 116, in <module>
         from buildbot.steps.slave import CopyDirectory
 exceptions.ImportError: cannot import name CopyDirectory

 Indeed, inspecting the source of buildbot/steps/slave.py reveals that
 CopyDirectory is not there, contrary to what documentation states and to
 what is seen on your repository
 (https://github.com/buildbot/buildbot/blob/master/master/buildbot/steps/slave.py)

 I copied the definition from the repository to the file in my library and
 it now works but it might cause more problems if this omission is not
 rectified or mentioned in the docs.
