As far as I know you must setup one buildmaster per project.
This question already came to the list (e.g.: http://thread.gmane.org/ 
gmane.comp.python.buildbot.devel/1498/focus=1502) and that's the kind  
of problem I ran into when I did my 1st buildbot setup until I  
realized that the only way to do it is to have separate buildmasters.

One of the thing that annoys me most is that I frequently fall in  
this scenario: I have a SVN repository where people develop libfoo.   
I another SVN repository, some other people develop a program `bar'  
that uses `libfoo'.  I another SVN repository, some other people  
develop a friendly GUI around the raw CLI program `bar' (name it  
`qux').  With BuildBot, you must setup 3 buildmasters.  Ideally, you  
want that whenever a dev commits something in libfoo and the build  
succeeds, then `bar' be rebuilt with the new libfoo.  Unfortunately,  
there is no way ATM to trigger a build in another buildmaster  
(although I guess this should be fairly easy to do since the whole  
code required is already there, in the commit hooks.  The only thing  
needed is a buildstep that makes it easy to add this at the end of a  
build process).  So what I do ATM is that dependent projects (`bar'  
and `qux') are rebuilt frequently with a Periodic scheduler (e.g.  
every 5 hours).

Cheers,
