[Buildbot-devel] Problem using the "env" parameter in source check step

[sergio borghese]

Hi All,

this mail is just to let you know that I finally managed to change my
buildbot configuration to use the master-side source step
This actually solved the issue with the env variable not been set, as
suggested by Dustin

Many thanks
Sergio
