[Buildbot-devel] patches not applying in buildbot 0.8.8

[Pierre Tardy]

Indeed, Repo does not support the try scheduler (in the sense that there is
no unit test for it). I'm not familiar with how buildbot works with patches.

Actually, repo has repoDownloads parameter, which leverage the power of
"repo download" command.
with:
http://docs.buildbot.net/0.8.8/manual/cfg-buildsteps.html#buildbot.steps.source.buildbot.steps.source.repo.RepoDownloadsFromProperties

You can make a force scheduler to allow developer to start builds from the
webUI.


That said, I dont see a problem if someone contribute support for try
scheduler in the Repo step.

HTH,
Pierre
