[Buildbot-devel] buildbot try with perforce's shelve functionality

[Alexander O'Donovan-Jones]

Has anyone tried extending Buildbot's try functionality to make use of the shelve capabilities that Perforce makes available.
I'm thinking of ways I might be able to pass in the revision, and have the slave sync to #head, and pull the given revision from the shelf, run it's tests, and return the results.
I did a cursory examination of the docs, but from what I can see that's not how it currently works for the try functionality under Perforce, so I'm interested to know if anyone else has tried this, or has suggestions for work along this avenue, before I start working on it.

Thanks!
