Hi,
I'm testing my faulthandler repository on the custom buildbots, here are some remarks and issues.
The form still refers to SVN ('Branch to build' is relative to http://svn.python.org/projects/python.) => the branch is relative to hg.python.org/
I cannot write "#" in the branch field to specify... the branch (only the repository). If the branch contains "#", the request looks to be ignored (without any warning/error). I merged my faulthandler branch into the default branch (in my features/faulthandler branch).
I don't understand the meaning of the "project" field. It is maybe something specific to Subversion?
What are the 3 optional properties?
If branch doesn't end with a slash (e.g. "features/faulthandler"), the request is ignored (without any warning/error).
I canceled a build on a Windows buildbot during the "tests" step using the [Cancel] button, but it failed to kill the process:
http://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/all/builders/x86%20Windows7% 20custom/builds/2/steps/test/logs/stdio ----------- command interrupted, killing pid 2168 SIGKILL failed to kill process using fake rc=-1 program finished with exit code -1 -----------
To test my faulthandler feature branch, the correct parameters are: -- Name: haypo Reason: test faulthandler Branch: features/faulthandler/ Revision: tip Repository: features/faulthandler (leave the project and the 6 property fields empty) --
The repository looks like a duplicate of the branch field. I would be better to use "default" as the branch and "features/faulthandler" as the repository.
I would be nice to have error messages.
