[users at bb.net] Managing large numbers of buildsteps

[Clément Hurlin]

Hello Honas,

  Do you mean your bot entire configuration is in master.cfg ? If that's
the case, you can split by using regular python modules. For example my
master.cfg is usually simply:

# Use master.py instead
from master import *

And then master.py is like the regular root file of a python projects,
with submodules being imported. For example I'm used to configure the
build, the steps, the schedulers, etc. in different files.

Hope this helps,
Clément
