[Buildbot-devel] scheduler questions

[Stefan Seefeld]

Reading the manual I stumble upon the 'Nightly' scheduler, and find the following note:


"note that this Scheduler only lets you control the time between builds, not the absolute
time-of-day of each Build..."

Is there a way to specify absolute time instead of interval (similar to crontab) ?
I'm afraid the builds will happen at an inappropriate time during the day, i.e.
one with high load.

On a related note, is there anything I can do to control the level of concurrency,
i.e. the number of processes run in parallel on a given machine (e.g. slave) ?
It would be good to be able to constrain the number of builds executed in parallel
on a particular machine, to avoid excessive high loads.

Thanks,
