[Buildbot-devel] How to set revision number for nightly builds

[Mark Richardson (Internal)]

Hi all,
Just adding an observation.
I think Bob's solution is okay to the point where he reverts the
source. A copy of the source should be archived for reference at
least. (I do that before I start the compilation)
If anything goes wrong with the build (or later if results for a
customer are wrong) then the exact source used to build it
[whatever software] is available for debugging.

I have an situation in that some source comes from an external 
repository and snapshotting that is not really under my control...
... hmm, the hoops we jump through.
