[users at bb.net] Using buildbot 0.9rc3 in production

[Elliot Saba]

Thanks Pierre!

I do not believe a firewall can be responsible for this, the two machines
are sitting on the same local network, and I have a buildbot 0.8 instance
with buildworkers on the same network that function just fine.  That being
said, I destroyed the two machines and rebuilt them from the ground up on
0.9.0-rc4, and things seem to be working just fine, so at this point I'm
going to blame cosmic rays and wait to see if the issues pop up again.

I have a few more questions about 0.9:

1) Is it possible to arrange the rows of the table views such as the
"Schedulers" view or the "Workers" view?  They do not seem to be sorted in
any particular way, and it would be useful to either sort them
alphabetically, or even better allow sorting along arbitrary columns.

2) It appears that all schedulers are listed twice.  Is this intentional,
or am I misreading something?  See, for example, this page
<https://buildtest.e.ip.saba.us/#/schedulers>.

3) How can I force multiple builds at once? I would expect that I can enter
the "Schedulers" page, select one of my force schedulers and initiate a
build across multiple buildworkers as I could in 0.8 (with the checkbox
interface) but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore.  As it stands, I
have to navigate to each builder page in turn and force the build there.
This isn't very fun when you have, for instance, packaging builds you want
to kick off for multiple OS's at once.

4) Enabling the "console" view, then performing a "reload" will leave the
build master in an invalid state, causing the web interface to error out.
You have to stop the buildmaster and then start it again after enabling a
new plugin, it seems.  Should there be a bug about this?

5) The console view <https://buildtest.e.ip.saba.us/#/console> doesn't do
anything for me; it just sits there. The log doesn't show anything
happening, is this a bug perhaps?

Thanks!
