[Python-Dev] Buildbot - "slave lost"

[Chris Angelico]

Does Buildbot retain a constant TCP socket to its server? I'm seeing this:

http://buildbot.python.org/all/builders/AMD64%20Debian%20root%203.3/builds/0

"""

Results:

Retry exception slave lost

"""

I have two internet connections; one is faster, but tends to drop
socket connections after a few hours, and the other is a bit slower
but more reliable (as long as the connection doesn't go idle for too
long - neither of my upstreams is particularly MUD-friendly). Would it
help to set a routing rule to send traffic to python.org:9020 via the
connection that won't drop out?
