[Buildbot-devel] ForceScheduler with codebases

[Leif Walsh]

SingleBranchScheduler works like that, I'm almost certain. 


I haven't really found any good examples. My best resources have been the API docs online and, frankly, the source code. There's a blog post out there that acknowledges this (I think it's called something like "getting started with buildbot in 5 minutes" but I'm composing this on the subway) and is also a pretty good initial resource that explains the concepts. When I get around to posting mine I'll try to remember to let you know (but I can't guarantee it'll actually be a *good* example ;-). 


Overall the API is pretty good. (Nearly) everything works well with properties, and whenever there are gaps in functionality you can usually get around them with 5 minutes of hacking and a ShellCommand or two. The hardest things for me have been modeling my Builders, dealing with a lack of reentrancy in my builds (that wasn't a problem until buildbot made concurrent builds possible), and discovering buildbot's features, none of which, sadly, do I have very good advice for.

Cheers,
Leif
