[Buildbot-devel] Fix the permissions before starting a new build

[Robert Echlin]

Hi, Benoit,
Another option would be to run the distcheck in a shell script rather
than from buildbot directly. Then you could check the results of the
distcheck yourself, and cleanup accordingly. You could check for the
existence of the final output files, or it might be useful to check the
return value of the distcheck command itself, by checking the value of
$?, right after running the distcheck command.

Hello

I use the BuildBot mostly in mode=copy for my SVN checkout step, and
frequently,
when a build fails in the middle of a distcheck, the `build' directory
cannot be
removed by the BuildBot because the source tree produced by the
autotools during
the distcheck is read-only (which is normal).

It would be great if BuildBot could chmod -R u+w the build directory
before
removing it. Actually I'm doing this manually by adding a build step
before the
checkout step, but I guess that many projects will end up with the same
problem
so why not just change this in the BuildBot? :)

Thanks.
