[Buildbot-devel] Sharing SVN checkout between multiple builders

[Max Horn]

Hi there,

is there a good way to share a single SVN checkout dir between  
multiple builders, without copying it?

Essentially, we support building outside the source dir (while we  
don't use the autotools, we copied that feature from it to our own  
build system ;-). So there seems to be no reason for us to keep  
multiple copies of the source checkout.

My hope is that I can use the "workdir" setting for this, but as I  
understand, it is used to specify paths relative to the active  
builder. Is there a way to specify a "global" path for the checkouts,  
which then is used by the builders (global in the sense that it is  
the same for all builder on the same buildslave)?

Cheers,
Max
