Hi, I think that arch_buildbot.py is not the way to go with bzr (not 
Arch/Bazaar) VCS.

AFAIK there is no ready-to-use tools to feed buildbot with source 
changes directly from bzr other than very preliminary work on 
bzrpoller.py in http://buildbot.net/trac/ticket/2.

bzrpoller.py is a poller (does periodical checks on VCS) and can only be 
used to work with single branch (does not support looking after 
repository with multiple branches). So it may or may not be adequate to 
your needs.

(bzrpoller.py must be put in buildbot/changes/ directory and used in 
buildbot configuration much like SVNPoller but with "location" and 
"pollinterval" as the only arguments).
