[Buildbot-devel] Builders that use latent slaves start in a state "building"

[Mantas Mikaitis]

Hi,

I am using latent slaves on my Buildbot configuration and inside 
LatentSlave object I have start_instance that returns a deferred which 
calls back only when the slave is ready to build.

However when a builder chooses above kind of slave using 
nextSlave=choose_slave the status goes to yellow and it says "building" 
but no build appears due to the fact that the LatentSlave is still 
trying to connect (The time between calling start_instance and the slave 
connecting is around 1min normally). Additionally the new build is also 
removed from "Pending builds" list.

Anyone could point me to the right direction how to make my builds 
"pending" while the LatentSlave is connecting instead of being in an 
undefined (Not pending and not in the waterfall) state while the slave 
connects?

Thank you,
Mantas M.
