[Buildbot-devel] Manual Scheduler trigger?

[Ian Peters-Campbell]

Does anyone have any advice regarding setting up manual triggers for
Schedulers/Builders?  During setup I would really like to get the kinks
worked out of the system without spamming check-ins to our SVN repository,
so if there was a good quick way to order the Buildmaster to fire off a
particular Builder at will it would help.  I guess I could swap in a
PeriodicScheduler with a short period to test with, but if there's an easy
way to trigger from the command line that would be preferable.

On a related note, my final goal is to have continuous integration builds
put together after each check-in, but for those to only be published to the
development team for the particular project.  I would then like a way to
specify a "published" build that is packaged and placed on a company-wide
server, and that notifies a wider portion of the dev team including PM and
QA.  My "best" ideas so far were to have either an SVN commit message tag
which tagged the build as public, or a README/release notes file that was
watched by a scheduler for the public release.  I assume that others have
dealt with similar issues, and I am wondering if anyone has suggestions as
to the cleanest way to manage this?

Thanks
Ian
