[Buildbot-devel] question on updating python

[Richard Woods]

I believe I have all of the dependencies resolved.  Running 'buildbot
start .' shows:

Following twistd.log until startup finished..
2010-08-16 10:47:51-0400 [-] Log opened.
2010-08-16 10:47:51-0400 [-] twistd 10.1.0 (/usr/local/bin/python2.4
2.4.6) starting up.
2010-08-16 10:47:51-0400 [-] reactor class:
twisted.internet.selectreactor.SelectReactor.
2010-08-16 10:47:51-0400 [-] Starting factory <buildslave.bot.BotFactory
instance at 0x2a9a561a28>
2010-08-16 10:47:54-0400 [Uninitialized] <twisted.internet.tcp.Connector
instance at 0x2a9950b680> will retry in 2 seconds
2010-08-16 10:47:54-0400 [Uninitialized] Stopping factory
<buildslave.bot.BotFactory instance at 0x2a9a561a28>

The buildmaster took more than 5 seconds to start, so we were unable to
confirm that it started correctly. Please 'tail twistd.log' and look for
a
line that says 'configuration update complete' to verify correct
startup.

Running 'tail twistd.log' shows the last few lines repeating over time,
with the retry interval approximately tripling, capping at 300 seconds
plus or minus ~20 seconds.  I'm unfamiliar with Twisted -- what's
happening here, and what should I look for to fix the problem?

That did the trick, thanks!  I'm now running into a missing dependency
(Zope) that should be simple to tackle.

An easy solution would be to just make sure your new installation of
Python
(2.4) appears first in the PATH setting of the environment where you are
executing the "buildbot start" command. I do this on systems where I'm a
guest and can't go mucking about with the installed toolset.
