[Buildbot-devel] Buildbot and Perforce

[Tony Walker]

Hi Brian,

Absolutely peachy, I think the initial 'starting p4 sync' threw me. I
altered the permissions on the 'full', 'build' and 'source' directories
of the buildbot slave even though the slave is running with the correct
account. I should have spotted that one....!

I had noticed that when it had attempted to run it the first time around
(a while ago now), the permissions set on the 'full' directory were set
to 700 so I'm not sure what the issue was there. However, a quick write
by all change has fixed it's wagon, I now get a complete sync with a
full log and exit code 0!

Nice one Brian! Here's to happy building!

Tony
