[users at bb.net] buildbot poller question

[Ken Dalka]

I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask a question, but I couldn’t find another forum for this.
If this is the wrong place, let me know.


Instead of polling a repository for a change, is there a way to poll a directory?
On a Linux machine, I’d like to check a directory to see if any new files show up and schedule a build when they do.
Unfortunately, I have another automated build system that isn’t using buildbot and I’d like buildbot to do a build whenever the other system finishes a build.
