[Buildbot-devel] Can't make schedulers trigger a build

Ah, good point.. I'll update svn_buildbot.py to match the port in the sample
master.cfg . And yes, your guess is correct, PBChangeSource is currently
limited to sharing the slaveport. I intend to fix that in the future, but it
will require some more infrastructure work (some sort of PB "dispatcher"
object) that I haven't designed yet.

Hmm.. does this mean the password is visible to anyone who looks at the
checkout log? Is there a way to pass it in some non-visible way? Or, I
suppose if the username being used only has read-only permissions, it
probably doesn't matter too much.

FYI, most of the buildbot installations I know of are either completely
public (the buildmaster is world-visible, and the buildslaves use the same
read-only checkout mechanisms like anonymous-CVS or http: URLs that the
general public uses), or completely closed (the buildmaster is behind a
firewall, sometimes the buildslave accounts get just as much authority as
regular developers, so they technically have the permissions to commit
changes to the repository, but this doesn't matter because nobody outside the
company can see the build logs).
