[Buildbot-devel] Mercurial Forest and Buildbot?

[Marcus Lindblom]

Hi,

Have anyone used Merurial's Forest extension with buildbot?

We might need to use forest here (which I've never tried) so I'd just 
like to see if there's any hard-earned knowledege that I should have 
before messing with it.

I suppose we need:
  * a new source step, since the commands for cloning/updating are 
different (fclone, fpull, etc)
  * a new intepretation for hgbuildbot changes (As a single change could 
trigger builds in several builders, if their respective forests contain 
the changed repo.)

Ideas for this, especially the latter?

IIUC, it is very similar to external svn repositories. Have anyone 
solved that satisfactorly (spl?) ?

I suppose isChangeImportant could be used against a manual list. 
(Allowing the BuildMaster to figure out the nested repos automatically 
would be cool though. :)

Cheers,
