[Buildbot-devel] reconfig incomplete?

[Charles Lepple]

Similar to Axel's suggestion, I use this for the NUT buildbot:

###########################
# Import, and reload if buildbot_nut.py is newer than buildbot_nut.pyc:
import sys, os, stat
sys.path.append(os.path.expanduser('~/buildmaster'))

import buildbot_nut as nut

py_time  = os.stat("buildbot_nut.py").st_mtime
pyc_time = os.stat("buildbot_nut.pyc").st_mtime
if py_time >= pyc_time:
    reload(nut)
###########################

The buildbot_nut.py file contains subclasses of standard Buildbot
steps. By separating out the steps, and only reloading when necessary,
the entire waterfall isn't cluttered with "config updated" if I modify
something other than a step (e.g. the list of buildslaves).
