[Buildbot-devel] 回复： source code update via SVN

[雷东壁]

My case is:
1. start buildmaster and buildslave;
2. the builder is triggered and SVN starts to delete all source codes and checkout new copy from server, it will take a long time;
2. stop buildmaster and buildslave, then restart them, step2 will run again, all source codes are deleted and checkouted for the 2nd time.

I don't think it works in 'update' mode...what's wrong with it?

thx!

"mode='update'" should only take a long time on the initial checkout, or if a change happens on another branch (Buildbot only keeps one working copy around).

If the slowdown is due to changing branches, you may be interested in this patch:

But in that case, you may want "mode='copy'" to avoid the problem that Dustin describes in the last comment there.
