Bug 233997 – dev-util/buildbot-0.7.8 version bump

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description John Stile 2008-08-05 18:33:18 UTC]

I am trying to use the "force build" form fileds "Branch to build: " and
"Revision to build:".

One person on the buildbot-devel list suggested I use WithProperties to send
that information to my ShellCommand, but WithProperties does not exist in 0.7.7
e.g.:
   h.addStep(
     shell.ShellCommand,
     command = [
     "/home/build/bin/build_myproject.bash",
     WithProperties("-b branches/%(branch)s"),
     WithProperties("-r %(revision)%s")
     ]
   )

It appears this has been added to 0.7.8
    http://buildbot.net/trac/ticket/234
    http://buildbot.net/trac/ticket/87  

buildbot 0.7.8 was release July 24th.

Reproducible: Always

notes on creating ebuild, running the upgrade, and verifying WithProperties

I used buildbot-0.7.7-r1.ebuild to make buildbot-0.7.8.ebuild with simple substitution.  
After running python-updater several times, updating to 2.5, the ebuild succeeded.
I tested using localhost for both master and slave, and my shell script prints the options it was passed.
All steps, configs, and output are included in this attachment.
I hope this helps get buildbot-0.7.8.ebuild into portage.
Thank you.

proposed conch useflag for twisted manhole 

In the buld log in attachment 162411 [details], you will see errors regarding:
  import error: buildbot.manhole No module named conch

manhole in an optional twisted "remote control" kind of thing on top of ssh server

Manhole needs package twisted-conch ebuild installed, so I propose a useflag, possibly called conch, in line with the other use flags.

I added the 'conch' use flag to the ebuild, added the use flags to package.use, and reinstalled buildbot.

The attached file is my build log, where you can see the error is now gone.

Thanks for reporting :-]
