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

Wed Jan 28 11:11:16 UTC 2015

Hey Pierre,

Thanks a lot for the kind reply.

That's good news. I can probably do without those missing features.

The part I am mostly interested in as I said above is
http://docs.buildbot.net/latest/developer/www.html , in particual the rest
api. I've given it a try with something simple against nine.buildbot.net.
According to that page http://nine.buildbot.net/#/api/v2/builder/1 should
return me something meaningdul while I only get redirected to Home.
