[Buildbot-devel] heads-up: internal changes

[Timothee Besset]

Great news. I had some new stuff planned for my buildbot setup, I guess I
should do that with the new source. Is it possible to run the latest code
and an older version as well? I don't want to touch my old setup until I
have something working with the new stuff.
