[Buildbot-devel] run a build on multiple host

[Vitali Lovich]

I have a similar problem & I think I solved it basically the way you described:

For all my slaves I need to run it on, create a builder named “Deploy {}”.format(slave name)
Then they would be configured to only run on that 1 slave.

Then I would have a Deploy builder that can run on any slave that would Trigger all my individual
Deploy builders for each slave.
Then when I need to deploy, I just trigger Deploy.

I don’t think there’s anything more elegant than that unfortunately as a build is pretty tightly coupled to the slave it was
picked to run on.
