[Buildbot-devel] How to start builds on multiple buildslaves at the same time?

[Keith Nicewarner]

Please pardon me for being a buildbot novice, but how would I go about creating a builder that triggers a list of other builders?

Create a builder that triggers them all?

Ugh - but then to do a force-build on each platform, I'd have to click the button N times.  Is there a way to have all the builders trigger off the same force-build request?

No, but what you can do is have multiple builders use the same build factory, so that you don't have to repeat the specification of the steps.

We cannot always easily use cross-compiling on a single platform. On each platform, the checkout, build, and test steps are completely identical. At first I thought setting up multiple buildslaves for the same builder would do the trick, but then I realized that the list is treated as a buildslave pool and it will only select one to build on. Is there an easy way to have a builder cause multiple buildslaves to start building at the same time?
