[Buildbot-devel] problems­ uploading build artefact­s in Buildbot 0.8.8

I was concerned I misunderstood. Thanks for the correction.

I see that there is a way of registering build artefacts and specifying the
URL that shows up on the build status page. Since FileUpload is not how one
release build artefacts, what step should I call (or extend) to do so?

<your_bits_archive>, Interpolate('%(prop:artifacts_dst_path)s')])

No, because it does not register the build artefacts and thus causes pain
for my users. That is what I had before and what was trying to fix with my
incorrect use of FileUpload.

(Incidentally, there is no mention in the documentation of FileUpload that
it creates intermediary directories.)

Thanks,
Neil Leathers
