[users at bb.net] additional project advice please

[Pierre Tardy]

Hi Mike,
Both options are reasonable.
You can start over a new master.cfg, with new ports, and have a separate
master for your second project or you can reuse your first master and
improve the master.cfg to add your second project.

I think it might just be easier to start with a new master. It will allow
you to start with a newer version of buildbot, which has had a lot of
improvement since 0.8.1

Then you can think of merging the two master.cfg and reproduce your old
setup on your new master.
With this method, you can keep your old master alone, and not disturb the
service for the legacy project.

Regards
Pierre
