[Buildbot-devel] some problems with buildbot 0.8.0rc2 after upgrade from 0.7.12

[Armstrong, Gareth]

Hello Folks,

just tried to open a ticket for the following on Trac but got this.

Trac detected an internal error:

SMTPSenderRefused: (452, '4.3.1 Insufficient system storage', u'"Buildbot" <buildbot-devel at lists.sourceforge.net>')

Anyway on to my observations. I just upgraded one buildbot master instance to 0.8.0rc2 from 0.7.12 and all went well (well almost).
This master is on Rhel5 with the following config.

* Buildbot: 0.8.0rc2
* Twisted: 10.0.0
* Jinja: 2.2.1
* Python: 2.4.3 (#1, Jun 11 2009, 14:09:58) [GCC 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-44)]

1) "buildbot upgrade-master `pwd`" does not terminate and has to be killed manually. Is this meant to be?

2) Once upgrade I started the master all looked good. This master is running several Nightly schedulers with multiple SVNPollers. The schedulers fired at the requested times however they completely ignored the Changes that should have been in the Build. I.e. the Blame list was empty when it should have had several changes. Is this a known issue. If not I will provide some more detail. The config worked prefectly in 0.7.12 and the schedulers were all defined as dicts. Any thoughts? Many thanks again in advance.

All the best,

Gareth

PS I have a working buildbot.spec file for 0.8.0rc2 which I will pass to the list after rolling to 0.8.0rc3 later today.
