[Buildbot-devel] Getting Properties value

[sergio borghese]

Hi All,

I cannot get my head out a  (probably silly) problem I'm facing
I would like to get the version control revision to create a string, that
is used to archive the build
So in my build configuration I'm doing something like:

*rev_no = Property('got_revision')*
*pck_basename = "kphone_" + osinfo.machine() + "-r" + rev_no*

but I get the following error:
*pck_basename = "kphone_" + osinfo.machine() + "-r" + rev_no*
* exceptions.TypeError: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'instance' objects*

My understanding was that the Property object was returning integers,
strings or some basic type
Tried converting the rev_no variable to str() or int() but got other errors
instead

I tried several changes to the above code, but no luck so far.
Probably it's just that I'm not a skilled Python coder...

Is there a smarter way to do what I'm doing?

Many thanks
Sergio
