[Buildbot-devel] Buildbot-0.8.5rc2

[Dustin J. Mitchell]

There were a few smelly bugs in -rc1, so I've released -rc2 with fixes.  It's at

 http://buildbot.net/tmp/buildbot-0.8.5rc1.tar.gz
 http://buildbot.net/tmp/buildbot-slave-0.8.5rc1.tar.gz

Onward with the testing, please!  Bug #2100 is outstanding, and I'm
hoping to see a fix in the next day or two, but other than that the
bugs in rc2 are all as-yet unknown!


Here's the log of fixes since rc1.  Note that I've done a bunch of
work on docs and tests:

    Pass un-mangled git commit message to the buildbot

    Previously commit message was based on output of 'git rev-parse'
which stripped
    out all "insignificant" whitespace, like newlines. Given grab_commit_info()
    already gets other kinds of commit information from 'git show',
get the commit
    message from it as well, unaltered.

    Handle errors in master-side source steps

    This adds a BuildStepFailed exception that can be raised within anything
    that leads to step.failed; from there, it will be punted to
    step.finished(FAILURE).  Fixes #2097.

    Finish removing schedulers.state column

    The Nightly scheduler was still expecting scheduler state, and as such
    would fail without the column.  This removes a bunch of now-dead code,
    and re-implements the BaseScheduler get/setState methods to use the
    master.db.state, along with updated tests.  Fixes #2042.
