[Buildbot-devel] Looking for suggestions (TrySchedulers - Buildbot 0.9)

[Dustin J. Mitchell]

Yes, at the moment the try schedulers have a fairly intricate
interface with Buildbot via Perspective Broker.  If you didn't want to
install Buildbot, but were comfortable installing Twisted and some
custom Python code, you could emulate `buildbot try` without too much
difficulty.
