[users at bb.net] new 0.9.6 installation not retrieving any changes

[Moritz Bunkus]

Hey,

alright, I think I've figured out where my problems lay.

The GitPoller doesn't add all revisions when it clones the repo for the
first time. I guess it will only add those revisions that appear in
consequent pulls.

So I configured my old GitHub push hook to push to the new Buildbot
instance, and I set up Buildbot's built-in GitHub
"change_hook_dialect". Then I re-delivered a couple of the old payloads
from the GitHub hook, and lo and behold the log file states that those
changes are added to the database. SELECTing FROM changes confirms that.

So far, so good.

My next confusion was about the fact that the web interface seemed
pretty broken. This, in turn, was due to my nginx configuration not
being set up properly. I did copy the parts from Buildbot's
documentation about …/sse and …/ws, however, I foobared the "proxy_pass"
directive by using a wrong port number.

After fixing that, too, I can see the changes in the web interface as
well, and a build is actually running on worker.

Yay!

Thanks to all for your work on Buildbot. I highly appreciate it. And
sorry for the noise.

Kind regards,
mosu
