[Buildbot-devel] Is possible to have more than one server in git_buildbot.py?

Wed Jan 8 09:12:32 UTC 2014

As Xavier is suggesting, what you want is a multimaster configuration. They
share the same db, and thus, the same change events, so you only need one
git change source.

However, It looks like donc really need to go up to the multimaster
configuration. Especially before nine, multimaster mode should be only used
if you really need it, which is when you have more slave than a single
master can handle.

Here you seems to only worry about the UI having to much builders. I would
rather fix the UI, than going into the complex multimaster setup.

The waterfall now has a category= URL parameter that you can use to filter
builders, so you can customize the layout.html template, to add more
"virtual" waterfalls.

Regards,
Pierre
