[Buildbot-devel] Fwd: have builder fire multiple latent slaves at once

[Jon Kenoyer]

We are using buildbot for automated testing with Amazon ec2 with a custom
AbstractLatentBuildSlave. There are X latent slaves assigned to one builder
assigned to one scheduler.

When I trigger a build the slave are queued until the amazon instance is
created and the each slave registers. I want all the latent slaves to
request their instance at the same time.

For example, currently the builder has slave 0 start its amazon instance,
waits for the instance to register as active slave 0, then starts slave 1
requesting its amazon instance etc.

Since we plan to have many, many slaves how do I have all the latent slaves
start their instances at the same time instead of waiting on each other?
