[Buildbot-devel] using a poller only for polling one or several files

[Pavel Berdnikov]

Hello!

I have a big SVN repository and I have a problem:
I don’t want to use SVN poller for polling whole SVN repository, there
are a lot of changes and I’d like to start a build by changing single
file. Is it possibly in BuildBot?
I tried to set svnurl in the SVNPoller to the single file, but I
received a error:

master.cfg:
svn_poller = SVNPoller(
                    svnurl='http://svn.xxx.com/yyy/trunk/builds.log',
…….
)

twistd.log:
2011-02-02 12:59:55+0300 [-] SVNPoller failed [Failure instance:
