[Buildbot-devel] Combining multiple-platform builds

[Richard Offer]

I have a newbie question.... What are the best practices for combining the results of multiple builds for a dependent build stage ?

Here's the scenario

I have three build schedulers, one is used for the main build (across multiple builders - one per platform), the other two are follow-on (dependent) steps that can only be done once all the first set of builders have completed.

I had hoped that I could re-use the build tree from the first stage in the subsequent stages - but its seems to get deleted on success. So I have the final step in the first build stage copy the results somewhere permanent. I then have to re-checkout the source tree for the second and third stages.

But what happens if there is a check-in to the source tree between he first and second stages ? I set alwaysUseLatest to False in the SVN() step for stage 2 - but it didn't seem to work.



Thanks,

Richard.
