[Buildbot-devel] Determining steps based on what's checked out...

[Jarod McBride]

Greetings,

So We have a need to create a new feature into BuildBot.  We would like to be able to configure some build steps based on information that is complied after checking out a project from git.  We know there are ways around this by just pawning the work off to a shell script but we'd really like it to be a first class citizen of BuildBot's reporting and error handling.

We'd like to put some development time into the BuildBot project to make this happen but would need some guidance.  Has anyone put any time or thought into making this happen?  Is anyone will to help put some time into making this happen?  It seems like it could be a huge new feature for the project.

Thanks!
