[Buildbot-devel] suggestions for writing a "manual operation" build step?

[Timothee Besset]

I need to write a build step that would basically wait for a human to
perform a specific operation before other steps can continue. Does
anyone have suggestions on how to do that? Ideally I'd like to have a
button on the waterfall that can be pushed to continue.

The manual step may sound weird, but we're hitting problems with crappy
windows software we have to use, and it behaves heratically sometimes.
For our release builds, I want to be able to add those steps in the
process so we can manually go in and check / fixup things when the
software is having a bad day.
