[Buildbot-devel] Managing many buildbots

[Alexander Lorenz]

that depends:

the number of slaves is irrelevant for the waterfall display, it 
represents the number of _build(er)s_ .

so if you have one build that you just want to be able to run on five 
different machines (with the same os) for a faster build process, just 
assign all five slaves to one builder with your project factory, and 
you'll 'only' have 20 columns.

but if you want to build/test on five different environments, there is 
no clean way at the moment. :s

this is because buildbot was originally designed assuming a "one master 
per project" strategy.


i can understand you well, because i am in a similar situation and there 
are also others here who have proposed ideas.
up to now you can only avoid a 100 column waterfall by using some "dirty 
tricks" .

see the "aggregate waterfall view?" thread in this mailing group 
concerning both issues.
