[Buildbot-devel] A MinGW question and a subversion question

[John Pye]

Hi all,

Just installed BuildBot today and have so far been very pleased with 
what I've seen.

Firstly I was wondering: has anyone been able to work out a way of 
running BuildBot under MinGW? This would be really nice for doing 
Windows-based build testing, which often gets broken when you're making 
changes under linux and not testing with windows manually all the time.

Secondly, I am needing a little help on getting everything set up 
properly with our subversion server. I don't think I am going to be able 
to get our subversion server to 'push' revisions out to buildbot, so I 
need some way that BuildBot will ping the subversion repository every so 
often and start a build/test when required. It seems that the capability 
is in there but I haven't been able to work out the correct settings 
just yet.

Actually there's one more question: has anyone got any tips for 
integrating the port 8010 buildbot website server with an existing 
Apache server, using a subdomain virtual host and using port 80? There 
are mentions in the manual about using Twisted to do this, but I'm not 
an expert on Twisted and was hoping to avoid having to become one ;-)

Cheers
JP
