[Buildbot-devel] How many VCS does buildbot support?

[Anantvijay K]

Hey Dustin, list,

I'm also stuck up into a similiar problem.

I've setup a buildbot for android. Android doesn't use "Git" commands
directly, but instead uses a command called "repo" to checkout out the
source. So i cannot use the git source step in the buildbot.

My source checkout step is:
f1.addStep(shell.ShellCommand, description= "Initialize the repo, sync and
checkout the tag", command= "repo_init.sh", haltOnFailure=True)

The repo_init.sh is the script which runs the commands:
repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git
repo sync
repo forall -c git checkout TAGXYZ

This is working quite fine, but there is an issue with the source stamp. It
always shows the branch "HEAD" instead of the tag being checked out "
TAGXYZ".Browsing through the buildbot source (buildbot/steps/source.py),
found that the revision is being set in the source checkout step of each
version control system. But since the "repo" command is not supported in the
buildbot, how do i go ahead to set the revision?. Also the waterfall results
page shows as
 Recent Builds:

You can make out that the revision is being shown as question marks. I'm
using a nightly scheduler.


Any help???


cheers,
