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

Wed Jan 28 10:33:25 UTC 2015

Hi Francesco,

For me, master branch is really useable for small and medium use cases.

There are a few feature missing (rebuild, stop builds, authorization
framework, log compression),  that are preventing us to release a first
version. I would estimate something like 3-4 mm of work to finish this make
sure it is stable. The thing is that this project has no full time
developer working on it, so its hard to get an ETA.

I would advise you to start your work on master branch, and if there are
bottlenecks, we can help you fix them or you can decide to switch back to
eight later.
There are very few change in configuration API between eight and nine, so
the work you do on nine can be reused on eight platform with very few
adjustments.
