[Buildbot-devel] Building from multiple sources

[Alexander Lorenz]

hi kevin,

try using the 'workdir' parameter for your buildsteps. this creates 
different subdirs inside the builddir on the slave.
i use this to check out several projects into different subdirs in one 
build and then let one project do things with the other project.
