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

[Elliot Saba]

Hello Pierre, thank you for the very quick response!

Using `ps -ef | grep python`, I can see that my buildbot-worker process has
been running continually for ~3 days now, so I don't think the process is
getting killed.  Furthermore, the buildbot-worker twistd.log shows that
things are (fairly) normal, except that we seem to be hitting timeouts.  Here
is a section of the buildbot-worker's log
<https://gist.github.com/staticfloat/bb9cefe66704b66d69a44ba027a18409> that
I believe shows an entire "build cycle".  The connection failures repeat
many more times before reconnecting to the master properly, and the whole
cycle repeats.


Ah, so I would use RoleFromGroup, and put in a GithubOrganization there.
That's actually best case for us, so thank you for that!


Another question: when I navigate into detail pages, (for instance, when
navigating into the build_ubuntu64 builder page
<https://buildtest.e.ip.saba.us/#/builders/15>) then trying to navigate
back, I click on the "Builders" breadcrumb at the top of the page, which
takes me back to the "Builders" page, but doesn't get rid of the
"build_ubuntu64" breadcrumb at the top.  Is that expected?
