[Buildbot-devel] buildbot & JHBuild

[Thomas Vander Stichele]

Hey,

at GUADEC this week we sat together to discuss continuous integration
infrastructure for GNOME and people were receptive to my proposing
buildbot.

So I want to start working on integrating buildbot and jhbuild a little.

The simplest way to start would be to:
- use "jhbuild list" to get a list of modules to build, in order
- create one "jhbuild buildone (module)" build step for each module

Now, since the config for jhbuild is also changing, I would like to find
a nice way of having the build factory be able to update the steps it
will do for each build.  All of the other buildbot's I've set up have
their steps decided at config reading time, either statically or from a
build factory I've written.

The stupid way would be to sighup the build master regularly, but I'm
sure there must be a better way.  Any suggestions ?

Thomas
