[Buildbot-devel] P4Sync / P4, etc.

[Bill Deegan]

Alex,

I've got a pull request in for a new master side P4 source step which may
take care of your needs.

https://github.com/bdbaddog/buildbot/tree/p4_master_step_2012

You can specify a tuple of tuples of depot/client mappings to make your
client spec.
