[Buildbot-devel] buildslave often lost remote on Windows2003

[Markus Kramer]

Hi Bill,

we had some similar issues with our XP slaves over here as well. In our
case the master was however running on a linux machine, but i assume the
problem is still similar. We had to increase various timeout values here
to get it reliable, on the one hand we put a "keepalive=3600" line in
the slaves .tac file, and on the other we have added an timout option to
very long taking buildsteps. However i wonder a little about the check
activity line in your log:

> 2009-07-08 09:58:42+0800 [-] BotFactory.checkActivity: nothing from master for 28454 secs

This suggest that there was no single response from your slave even
within nearly 8 hours, which we only saw when the slave was continously
busy with one buildstep for that long. So do you probably have one step
taking that long?

Best regards,

Markus
