[Buildbot-devel] Should Try_Userpass interact well with MailNotifier in buildbot 0.8.4p2?

[Dan Kegel]

Nope.  The mail server's fine; the problem is there were no recipients.
Adding the line
   extraRecipients=["user at example.com"],
to the mailNotifier to force a recipient shows that mail is
going out fine when there are recipients.

sendToInterestedUsers=True is the default, and doesn't help.

I tried running buildbot from git, but setup.py fails.

I guess I'm going to have to get comfortable with
the innards of buildbot.  How do buildbot developers run
it without installing?
