[Buildbot-devel] IRC issues since upgrading from 0.8.3 to 0.8.5

[Gavin McDonald]

1.  force build on IRC no longer works - I have allowForce = true set as it
always has been.

16:41 <       gmcdonald+> 16:37 <         fop-bot > Configured builders:
fop-trunk
16:41 <       gmcdonald+> 16:40 <       gmcdonald > fop-bot: force build
fop-trunk testing
16:41 <       gmcdonald+> 16:40 <         fop-bot > Something bad happened
(see logs): <type 'exceptions.AttributeError'>
16:41 <       gmcdonald+> ^ since upgrading to latest


Logs say:
