[Buildbot-devel] Problems running under Windows

It is quite likely that test_vc doesn't work under windows :(.

I've got a "metabuildbot" that runs the buildbot's own unit test suite each
time I check in a change, but the windows buildslave for it has been offline
for many months, and I'm not sure that it ever had SVN installed on it.
Without SVN, as you've seen it just skips over those tests.

Yes and yes please. If you can make it work under windows, I'll apply the
patches. Please open a bug report and attach your patches to it.. that will
make sure I don't lose them.

thanks much!
