[Buildbot-devel] Big fat buildbot example

[Pierre Tardy]

I like it. I'm working on similar stuff also, but it is not yet ready for
publication.

Looking at your code, I can find good concepts that could improve my design.
I'm not really focused on a config system that is simple, but rather one
that put higher level abstraction to the rather low level API of the config.

One of the key problem is the slave managment system. I think you may
improve SimpleConfig to have a generic slave capability system,where each
slave would have a capability dictionary can be a string or a list e.g:
OS = "windows"
supported_test = [ "lint", "selexium"]

Then, the slavemanager can have a function named slaves_by(self, **caps),
that returns the slave names that match the needed capability of the builder

my config manager is not yet ready for publication, but here is the slave
management part:
