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

Wed Jan 28 11:52:35 UTC 2015

We used to have daily builds of aster branch, but this has been temporarily
stopped until we sort out some of our new infra work
So the package here are slightly outdated, and some are actually broken.
ftp://ftp.buildbot.net/pub/latest/

So right now the best is to follow this quick start guide:
https://github.com/buildbot/buildbot/blob/master/master/docs/developer/www.rst#hacking-quick-start
