ShellCommand: record RemoteShellCommand args to, to get 'workdir' and 'env' and ...

[buildbot.git] / ChangeLog

2007-12-14  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/steps/shell.py (ShellCommand.__init__): stash the
        RemoteShellCommands args too, so things like 'workdir' and 'env'
        and 'timeout' are preserved. This ought to fix #150.
        * buildbot/test/test_steps.py (Steps.testClone): test it

2007-12-11  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/scripts/startup.py (launch): use twisted.__version__,
        rather than twisted.version, since the latter didn't appear until
        Twisted-2.4.0 . This unbreaks 'buildbot start' on older Twisteds.

2007-12-08  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (Git): document the fact that we require
        Git 1.2.0 or later, and that the one shipped in dapper is too old.

        * buildbot/scripts/startup.py (launch): twisted-2.5.0 and later
        doesn't need twisted.scripts._twistw.run; instead, it uses
        twisted.scripts.twistd.run on all platforms. Closes #53.

2007-11-30  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/status/builder.py (BuilderStatus): small docs patches
        from Greg Ward.. thanks!
        * buildbot/process/base.py (Build): same

2007-11-29  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (Mercurial._maybeFallback): add an
        _abandonOnFailure call to the fallback, to skip the 'update' step
        if the checkout fails.
        (Mercurial._maybeFallback): More fixes: look for error messages
        generated by every version of hg from 0.7 to the current 0.9.5,
        including development versions as of rev 92991422a847. Also make
        sure to return the exit code of non-fallbackable errors so that
        other steps can attempt a workaround.

2007-11-28  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (Mercurial._maybeFallback): improve
        hg fallback so that it works when the client hg is new and the
        server hg is old (the error message is different in this case).

2007-11-27  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/test/test_p4poller.py: hush pyflakes warning

        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (Mercurial._maybeFallback): when hg
        is doing a 'clone' operation, to a remote repository (e.g. over
        HTTP), and either the server or the client is hg-0.9.1 or older,
        'hg clone' cannot accept a --rev argument: instead, you have to
        clone the tip and then update back to the desired revision. Added
        code to detect this failure mode and fall back to the clone+update
        scheme. Closes #122 and #103.
        (ShellCommand.__init__): add a keepStderr= flag to support this

        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py (VCBase._do_vctest_clobber_2): add a
        test that does a checkout to a specific version, to exercise the
        mercurial limitation workaround.
        (Mercurial.serveHTTP): add code to test hg checkout over HTTP,
        using mercurial's built-in 'hg serve' command. Because of
        limitations in hg, this code uses a randomly-selected TCP
        port (rather than claiming a free one), so every once in a while
        this test is going to fail because of a port-number collision.

        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py (GitHelper.capable): skip Git tests if
        the version of Git installed is older than 1.2.x . Git 1.1.3
        doesn't accept 'git init' (it wants 'git init-db' instead) and the
        branch tests fail. I know that Git 1.5.3.6 works. I don't know
        what the dividing line is.. if someone can figure it out, please
        update this check. Also, if someone can make buildbot's git
        support handle older versions, please do that too! Addresses #130.

2007-11-21  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * lots: improve Git support, AMAZING patch from Haavard
        Skinnemoen, complete with unit tests and docs, thanks! Closes #130.
        * buildbot/scripts/tryclient.py (GitExtractor): add 'try' support
        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (Git): accept branch and revisions,
        and use 'git' instead of the 'cogito' wrapper
        * buildbot/steps/source.py (Git.__init__): same
        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py (BaseHelper.runCommand): offer control

        * contrib/git_buildbot.py: commit-hook script for git


        * buildbot/changes/p4poller.py (P4Source._finished): don't let a
        failure cause us to stop polling. Thanks to John Backstrand for
        the patch. Closes #135.
        * buildbot/test/test_p4poller.py (TestP4Poller.testFailedChanges):
        change this to match
        (TestP4Poller.testFailedDescribe): same

        * buildbot/status/web/waterfall.py (WaterfallStatusResource.body):
        fix timezone calculation, we were always emitting DST, even in
        winter. Thanks to Charles Lepple and John Saxton for the patch.
        Closes #137.
        * buildbot/test/test_web.py (Waterfall.test_waterfall._check1): same


        * lots: a whole batch of patches from Benoit Sigoure, referenced
        in ticket #138. Thanks!

        * buildbot/master.py (BuildMaster.loadConfig): builder names that
        begin with an underscore are now reserved, so prohibit them from
        appearing in the config file.
        * NEWS: announce this change.

        * buildbot/status/web/base.py: add buttons (to one_line_per_build
        and one_box_per_builder) to force/stop builds on all Builders at
        once.
        * buildbot/status/web/baseweb.py: same
        (OneBoxPerBuilder.body): add links to the per-Builder page

        * buildbot/status/web/builder.py: same

        * buildbot/status/web/builder.py (StatusResourceBuilder.body):
        factor out force/stop form generation
        * buildbot/status/web/base.py: same
        * buildbot/status/web/build.py: same

        * buildbot/status/web/builder.py (StatusResourceBuilder.force):
        simplify some 'if' statements
        (StatusResourceBuilder.build_line): add a 'Stop Build' button next
        to the 'Force Build' button, so you can start and stop a build
        from the same place.
        (StatusResourceBuilder.force): redirect back to the waterfall,
        rather than the index page
        (StatusResourceBuilder.ping): same
        * buildbot/status/web/build.py (StatusResourceBuild.stop): same

        * buildbot/slave/bot.py (Bot.remote_setBuilderList): don't
        consider the 'info' directory as a leftover directory. Patch from
        Benoit Sigoure, ticket #138.
        (others): remove trailing whitespace

2007-11-01  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/status/web/builder.py (StatusResourceBuilder.build_line):
        if there's no current step, don't try to display its description.
        Same crash as in #96, this time in the web page. Closes #111.

        * buildbot/status/web/base.py (OneLineMixin.make_line): tolerate
        results == None (i.e. when the build hasn't finished yet);
        previously this code exploded when trying to find a CSS class for
        that results value. Patch from Greg Ward. Closes #118.

        * buildbot/status/client.py (RemoteBuildStep.remote_getLogs):
        IBuildStepStatus.getLogs() returns a list, not a dict. Patch from
        Fabrice Crestois. Closes #121.

2007-10-31  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/status/words.py (Contact.emit_status): if there's no
        current step, don't try to display its description. This should
        fix the crash when asking the irc bot about builds which are
        waiting for a build-wide Lock. Closes #96.

        * buildbot/status/tinderbox.py (TinderboxMailNotifier): add
        'columnName' argument, from a patch by Ben Hearsum. Closes #120.

2007-10-16  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/status/web/slaves.py (BuildSlavesResource.body): fix
        timestamp, I was using %M (minutes) where I meant to be using
        %b (abbreviated month name). Closes #109.

2007-10-13  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * README (COPYING): make it clear that buildbot is distributed under
        the GPL (version 2)
        * COPYING: add a copy of the GPLv2 to the source tree
        * MANIFEST.in: .. and to the source distribution too

2007-10-10  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/status/builder.py (Status.getURLForThing): update this
        to match new URL layout, I completely forgot about it. Closes #112.
        * buildbot/test/test_web.py (GetURL): add unit tests

        * buildbot/status/web/build.py (BuildsResource.getChild): fix
        silly typo which prevented the Build page from ever offering
        control options like 'Stop Build'. Thanks to Aaron Hsieh for the
        catch. Closes #114.
        * buildbot/test/test_webparts.py (Webparts._do_page_tests): it'd
        be nice to test this

        * buildbot/__init__.py (version): bump to 0.7.6+ while between
        releases
        * docs/buildbot.texinfo: same

2007-09-30  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/__init__.py (version): Releasing buildbot-0.7.6
        * docs/buildbot.texinfo: same

2007-09-30  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * NEWS: small updates, remove duplicate items from the 0.7.5 notes
        * setup.py: install all test files from buildbot/test/mail/* . Also
        update URL to point at buildbot.net
        * MANIFEST.in: update with new files

        * buildbot/status/web/baseweb.py (WebStatus.setupSite): ugh, yes
        auto-create an empty public_html directory, otherwise we get
        internal server errors instead of 404s.

        * README: reference buildbot.net, remove CVSToys section (does
        anyone still use it?)

        * buildbot/status/web/baseweb.py (WebStatus): emit a useful log
        message when public_html/ is missing (indicating that you should
        probably run 'upgrade-master'), and don't auto-create an empty
        directory in that case.

        * contrib/darcs_buildbot.py: refactor internals a bit, make it
        possible to use as an importable module (to make it easier to
        write some unit tests for it)

        * buildbot/status/web/baseweb.py (Waterfall.__init__): add a
        DeprecationWarning for Waterfall, advising users to switch over to
        WebStatus instead.

        * NEWS: update with user-visible changes since the last release

        * buildbot/status/web/waterfall.py
        (WaterfallStatusResource.get_reload_time): if the suggest a
        reload time of less than 15 seconds, give them 15 seconds instead
        of ignoring their request entirely, because that'd be confusing.

        * buildbot/steps/source.py (Mercurial.computeSourceRevision): log a
        warning if we must invoke the last-change-is-most-recent guess

        * buildbot/status/web/baseweb.py (Waterfall.__init__): if an old
        Waterfall is running in an upgraded master (which is the usual
        case for folks who have followed the instructions to run
        'upgrade-master' but who have not yet resolved all the
        DeprecationWarnings), prefer the buildbot.css from public_html/
        rather than the one passed in on the buildbot= argument.
        Otherwise, the resulting pages don't quite use CSS right..
        sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, and I don't know why.
        Sites that are using custom CSS will see the default CSS until
        they modify public_html/buildbot.css to include their
        customizations.

        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (WebStatus): explain robots.txt a bit more
        * buildbot/status/web/robots.txt (Disallow): update to cover all
        dynamically-generated pages

        * buildbot/status/web/base.py (map_branches): when we see 'trunk',
        include both 'trunk' and None in the output list, since some VC
        systems (SVN, frequently) refer to trunk as 'trunk'.

        * buildbot/status/web/waterfall.py (WaterfallStatusResource):
        point the 'welcome' link explicitly at index.html, rather than
        '.', so that old Waterfall users can reach it and discover all the
        new pages.

        * buildbot/status/web/base.py (OneLineMixin.make_line): add the
        build's text to the end of the line, without a CSS class so it
        remains uncolored.

        * buildbot/interfaces.py (IStatus.generateFinishedBuilds): add a
        'max_search=' argument, to limit the number of builds that are
        examined while trying to find ones that match the other criteria.
        This helps to limit the work we do, since otherwise we might have
        to trawl through all history.
        (IBuilderStatus.generateFinishedBuilds): same
        * buildbot/status/builder.py (Status.generateFinishedBuilds): same
        (BuilderStatus.generateFinishedBuilds): same

        * buildbot/status/web/base.py (OneLineMixin.make_line): stringify
        our got_revision before checking its length: SVN (at least) still
        reports numeric values for this.
        * buildbot/status/web/build.py (StatusResourceBuild.body): same
        * buildbot/status/web/xmlrpc.py
        (XMLRPCServer.xmlrpc_getAllBuildsInInterval): same, also stop
        serving a completely fake revision

        * buildbot/scripts/runner.py (Maker.check_master_cfg): prepend
        basedir to sys.path, to mimic what a real buildmaster would have
        access to, since it is common for master.cfg to import helper
        classes from .py files in the buildmaster directory, and we want
        config-file checking to accomodate this.

        * buildbot/status/web/base.py (map_branches): when referring to
        branches through WebStatus (i.e. by appending ?branch=FOO query
        arguments to the URL), make "trunk" mean trunk, by mapping it to
        None before passing it to generateFinishedBuilds() and the like.
        * buildbot/status/web/baseweb.py (OneLinePerBuild.body): same
        (OneBoxPerBuilder.body): same, also improve display of branches in
        the HTML a bit
        * buildbot/status/web/waterfall.py (BuildTopBox.getBox): same
        (WaterfallStatusResource.buildGrid): same. Note that this filters
        Changes as well as Builds.
        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (Buildbot Web Resources): remove the
        caveat about trunk branches, now that it's fixed

        * buildbot/status/web/base.py (OneLineMixin): refactor, move this
        from builder.py, use it on the Builder page too

        * buildbot/status/web/builder.py (StatusResourceBuilder): same
        * buildbot/status/web/baseweb.py (OneLinePerBuild): display branch
        names, add some CSS classes
        * buildbot/status/web/classic.css (td.box): new class, for
        OneBoxPerBuild

        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (WebStatus): update docs

        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (SVN.parseGotRevision._parse): remove
        the trailing "M" indicator that tells us this is a modified file.
        This should help with mode="update" builds that modify files
        in-place. Thanks to "Oz" (chris at santacruzgames.com) for the
        patch.

        * buildbot/scripts/runner.py (upgradeMaster): improvements: write
        new copies of files (to .new) when those files already exist,
        check the master.cfg file for errors (and give DeprecationWarnings
        a chance to be displayed).
        * buildbot/test/test_runner.py: add more tests
        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (Upgrading an Existing Buildmaster): docs

2007-09-29  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/steps/source.py (Mercurial.computeSourceRevision): take
        the revision id from the last change in our list, since that's the
        best we can do without knowing the full ancestry graph. Closes #103.

        * buildbot/scripts/sample.cfg: use buildstep instances in
        f.addStep, to demonstrate the (correct) modern usage.
        * docs/examples/hello.cfg: bring this up to date. Closes #79.
        * docs/examples/twisted_master.cfg: add a big warning about how
        old this is
        * docs/examples/glib_master.cfg: delete this one entirely, it is
        ancient and not a very useful example anyways

        * buildbot/status/web/base.py (HtmlResource.render): keep track of
        HTTPChannels, so we can shut them down at reconfig time (when the
        WebStatus goes away). Closes #102.
        * buildbot/status/web/baseweb.py (WebStatus.__init__): same
        (WebStatus.registerChannel): same
        (WebStatus.stopService): do .loseConnection() here

        * buildbot/test/test_webparts.py (Webparts.testPages): reload the
        WebStatus, make sure all pages are still retrievable. I thought
        this would exercise a bug, but it turns out that it was firefox
        caching connections (and continuing to talk to the old WebStatus
        even though I'd loaded a new one).
        * buildbot/status/web/baseweb.py (WebStatus): add some comments
        (WebStatus.__repr__): include id() in the repr

        * buildbot/status/tinderbox.py (TinderboxMailNotifier): allow
        this to specify an errorparser. From Ted Mielczarek and the
        mozilla crew. Closes #94.

        * buildbot/changes/bonsaipoller.py (BonsaiParser): "Make
        bonsaipoller ignore funkyness in xml output for empy log
        messages", from Axel Hecht. Closes #90.
        * buildbot/test/test_bonsaipoller.py
        (TestBonsaiPoller.testMergeEmptyLogMsg): same

        * buildbot/status/tinderbox.py (TinderboxMailNotifier.buildStarted):
        respect 'builders' arg, from Ben Hearsum. Closes #89.

        * buildbot/scripts/runner.py (stop): increase the timeout from 5
        seconds to 10, to give heavily loaded machines a better chance to
        finish shutting down. Addresses (partially) #68.
        * buildbot/scripts/logwatcher.py (LogWatcher.TIMEOUT_DELAY): same,
        on startup
        * buildbot/scripts/reconfig.py (Reconfigurator.run): same
        * buildbot/scripts/startup.py (Follower._failure): update message

        * buildbot/changes/bonsaipoller.py: apply changes from the Mozilla
        team, to fix some bugs and avoid the use of blocking urlopen().
        closes #61.
        * buildbot/test/test_bonsaipoller.py: same

2007-09-28  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/buildslave.py (BuildSlave): add notify_on_missing=
        argument, to send email about buildslaves which are disconnected
        for more than an hour. Closes #64.
        * buildbot/test/test_slaves.py (BuildSlave.test_mail_on_missing):
        test it
        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (When Buildslaves Go Missing): document it
        (MailNotifier): add docs for this too


        * buildbot/status/web/baseweb.py (OneBoxPerBuilder): make this page
        respect branch= queryargs, by restricting the builds displayed to
        those matching the given branch names
        * buildbot/status/web/waterfall.py (BuildTopBox): same

        * buildbot/test/test_web.py (WaterfallSteps.test_urls.FakeRequest):
        fix a test failure by adding .prepath to this fake object

        * buildbot/status/web/*: big set of changes to WebStatus, cleaning
        up generation of relative URLs. With luck, this should play with
        reverse proxies much better now.
        * buildbot/test/test_webparts.py: new test for most of the subpages
        * buildbot/test/test_web.py (base_config): add enough of a config
        to exercise more Waterfall code

2007-09-27  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/status/web/build.py (StatusResourceBuild.body): use a
        relative URL to the buildbot welcome page, rather than
        getBuildbotURL.
        * buildbot/status/web/builder.py (StatusResourceBuilder.body): same

        * buildbot/status/web/base.py (HtmlResource.title): change the
        default title of all Buildbot-generated page to "Buildbot"
        * buildbot/status/web/builder.py (StatusResourceBuilder.getTitle):
        change the title to include the Builder name
        * buildbot/status/web/build.py (StatusResourceBuild.getTitle):
        same, and also show the build number
        (StatusResourceBuild.rebuild): after using the 'Rebuild' button,
        redirect the browser to the Builder page

2007-09-26  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/status/web/baseweb.py (OneBoxPerBuilder.body): fix URL
        problem with the build links

2007-09-25  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/status/web/base.py (HtmlResource.render): fix addSlash
        to emit relative URLs instead of using URLPath,

        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (WebStatus): provide an example

        * buildbot/status/web/baseweb.py (OneBoxPerBuilder): new status
        page, shows a simple table with one row per Builder. Still pretty
        ugly, but functional.
        * buildbot/status/web/index.html: reference it

        * buildbot/status/web/waterfall.py (Spacer): make this *not*
        inherit from builder.Event, so that show_events=false doesn't hide
        spacers, since that would make the waterfall weirdly compressed.

        * buildbot/status/web/waterfall.py (HELP): put the View button in
        its own section, so it doesn't get visually confused with the
        reload-timer section
        (WaterfallStatusResource.body): make the '[help]' links more
        visually distinct from each other, and add a link to the Welcome
        page
        * buildbot/status/web/slaves.py (BuildSlavesResource): handle
        unused buildslaves without exploding

        * buildbot/status/web/waterfall.py
        (WaterfallStatusResource.body.with_args): don't use req.URLPath,
        it gives us absolute paths that break proxies
        * buildbot/status/web/base.py (HtmlResource.path_to_root): fix
        this, it was giving bad results when the Waterfall is behind a
        reverse proxy.

        * buildbot/scripts/runner.py (upgradeMaster): first phase of the
        new 'upgrade-master' command, which will bring an old buildmaster
        directory up-to-date. Right now the only thing it does is populate
        public_html/ if it wasn't already there. Still to do: check the
        other files, add documentation.
        * buildbot/test/test_runner.py (Create.testUpgradeMaster): test it
        (Create.failUnlessSameFiles): use sets.Set() for 2.3 compatibility

2007-08-13  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/changes/changes.py (Change.get_HTML_box): add a tooltip
        that contains the checkin comments when you hover over the entry
        in the 'changes' column of the waterfall. Thanks to Frederic Leroy
        for the patch.

        * buildbot/status/web/waterfall.py (WaterfallStatusResource): improve
        'help' page linkage

        * buildbot/status/web/about.py (AboutBuildbot): add an 'about'
        page with versions of python, buildbot, and twisted
        * buildbot/status/web/baseweb.py (WebStatus.setupUsualPages): same
        * buildbot/status/web/index.html: add links to most pages
        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (Buildbot Web Resources): update docs

        * buildbot/status/web/robots.txt: put a robots.txt in new installs
        which discourages robot access to all large dynamically-generated
        pages. The intention is that the index page and the 'about' page
        are the only ones which should be crawlable.
        * buildbot/scripts/runner.py (Maker.public_html): same
        (createMaster): same
        * setup.py: ship index.html and robots.txt in source distributions

        * buildbot/status/web/waterfall.py: add 'refresh' query arg, to
        activate automatic reloading of the page (using a meta Refresh:
        tag). Closes #69.
        (WaterfallHelp): new page to explain all the nifty query arguments
        you can use on the Waterfall, along with forms to set them for
        you. From this page, you can add filters for builder=, branch=,
        show_events=, as well as turning on reload=.
        (WaterfallStatusResource.buildGrid): new query args: last_time=,
        first_time=, show_time=, num_events= . The old show= is still
        accepted, but the new builder= is preferred. We ignore empty
        branch= arguments, to make the WaterfallHelp form easier to
        implement.
        (WaterfallStatusResource.head): new method to add text to the
        <head> of the page.
        * buildbot/status/web/base.py (HtmlResource.content): use head()
        * buildbot/status/web/baseweb.py (OneLinePerBuild.body): ignore
        empty branch= arguments
        (OneLinePerBuildOneBuilder.body): same

2007-08-12  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/status/web/waterfall.py (WaterfallStatusResource): add
        new query args: 'last_time' is a timestamp of the top-most event
        on the display, 'first_time' is a timestamp for the bottom-most
        event. 'show_time' is the difference between them, and overrides
        'first_time'. 'num_events' puts an upper limit on the number of
        timestamps that will be displayed on the left hand edge.
        (WaterfallStatusResource.body): add a 'next page' link to the
        bottom, which shows the events that come just after those shown on
        the current page. This is a first step towards #67, but we need
        some more controls before we can close that one.

        * buildbot/buildslave.py (BuildSlave): these are now MultiService
        instances too, and live as children of the BotMaster. The main
        advantage of this approach is that BuildSlaves can know when they
        are being removed (so they can shut off the upcoming
        when-do-we-email-an-admin-because-we-lost-our-slave timer).
        * buildbot/interfaces.py (IBuildSlave): marker interface so we can
        identify which service children are BuildSlaves
        * buildbot/master.py (BuildMaster.loadConfig_Slaves): handle the
        Checker updates here, but delegate the rest to..
        (BotMaster.loadConfig_Slaves): .. here, which looks at the
        BotMaster's service children to identify the old slaves. I think
        the previous approach of using master.slaves was broken in the
        face of config updates that modified BuildSlave instances but did
        not completely replace them.
        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (Developer's Appendix): note the change to
        the Service hierarchy

        * buildbot/status/web/slaves.py (BuildSlavesResource): new status
        page (at URL /buildslaves/) to view status of all buildslaves at
        once, including how long it's been since we last heard from them,
        and which Builders use them.

        * buildbot/status/web/baseweb.py: fix title of one-line-per-build
        pages

        * buildbot/interfaces.py (IStatus.getSlaveNames): new method to
        list all buildslaves

        * buildbot/buildslave.py (BuildSlave.messageReceivedFromSlave):
        use the BuildSlave to keep track of the last time we've heard from
        the buildslave. This is updated upon receipt of any message from
        any SlaveBuilder (which generally means when RemoteCommands are
        giving us status updates, as BuildSteps run). In the future this
        will include slave pings too.
        * buildbot/process/base.py
        (Build.setupBuild): give each BuildStep a reference to the BuildSlave
        * buildbot/process/buildstep.py:
        (BuildStep.setBuildSlave): accept that reference
        (BuildStep.runCommand): pass the reference on to the RemoteCommand
        (RemoteCommand.remote_update): update the timestamp
        (RemoteCommand.remote_complete): same
        * buildbot/test/runutils.py (StepTester.makeStep): match the change
        * buildbot/test/test_steps.py (BuildStep.testShellCommand1): same
        * buildbot/interfaces.py (ISlaveStatus.lastMessageReceived): new
        interface to retrieve this timestamp
        * buildbot/status/builder.py (SlaveStatus): track a copy of the
        timestamp


        * buildbot/status/web/baseweb.py (OneLineMixin.make_line): tighten
        up the format a bit
        (OneLinePerBuild.body): use a <ul> instead of <div>s
        (OneLinePerBuildOneBuilder.body): same

        * contrib/darcs_buildbot.py (makeChange): handle moved files too,
        by adding the file's new name to the list of changed files. This
        ought to be sufficient for things like isFileImportant and trial
        tests that only exercise tests for files that have been modified.
        Closes #31.

        * buildbot/status/web/xmlrpc.py (XMLRPCServer): add preliminary
        XMLRPC server to the WebStatus page. This only has two methods
        right now (getAllBuildsInInterval and getBuild), but we'll be
        adding more in the future. This server is extracted from the
        trac-plugin branch.

        * buildbot/status/web/baseweb.py (OneLinePerBuild): refactor using
        generateFinishedBuilds, and improve the data displayed.
        * buildbot/status/web/build.py (StatusResourceBuild): rearrange
        the per-Build page, add some information like ETA and got_revision
        * buildbot/status/web/builder.py (StatusResourceBuilder): same,
        adding a list of recently completed builds
        * buildbot/status/web/base.py (css_classes): factor this out

        * buildbot/interfaces.py (IStatus.generateFinishedBuilds): define
        new method, to make status display classes easier to write,
        especially the WebStatus 'one_line_per_build' page.
        (IBuilderStatus.generateFinishedBuilds): same
        * buildbot/status/builder.py (BuilderStatus.generateFinishedBuilds):
        (Status.generateFinishedBuilds): implement it

        * buildbot/process/factory.py (GNUAutoconf.__init__): allow
        'source' to be a BuildStep instance, since BuildFactory accepts
        them now.
        (CPAN.__init__): same
        (Distutils.__init__): same
        (Trial.__init__): same

        * buildbot/interfaces.py (IBuildStatus.getProperty): note that
        this might raise KeyError

2007-08-07  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (P4): use 'p4user' to construct the
        'Owner:' field of the view, rather than 'p4logname', since
        p4logname comes from the buildslave's environment and seems
        unlikely to ever do the right thing. Thanks to Wade Brainerd for
        the patch. Closes #40.

        * buildbot/buildslave.py (BuildSlave.__init__): add max_builds=,
        which imposes a per-slave limit on how many builds are allowed to
        run simultaneously. This has a the same scope than the SlaveLock,
        but is different because max_builds= gives the buildmaster the
        freedom to assign the build to a different slave, whereas the
        SlaveLock doesn't get tested until after the build is irrevocably
        assigned to a slave. Therefore using max_builds= will improve
        utilization in the presence of multiple buildslaves that are
        attached to the same Builder. This completes the incorporation of
        Dustin Mitchell's patches, and closes ticket #48. Thanks Dustin!
        * buildbot/process/builder.py (SlaveBuilder.buildFinished): when
        any Builder finishes, potentially trigger *all* Builders, since
        max_builds= may have stalled someone else while waiting for the
        slave.
        * buildbot/scripts/sample.cfg: mention max_builds=
        * buildbot/test/test_run.py (ConcurrencyLimit): test it
        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (Buildslave Specifiers): document it

        * buildbot/test/test_run.py (CanStartBuild._do_test2): tests which
        inherit from RunMixin do not need to call master.stopService()
        themselves, since RunMixin.tearDown does that. The double call
        fails on Twisted-2.0.x, which didn't happen to protect against it.
        * buildbot/test/test_slaves.py (BuildSlave.test_track_builders): same

        * buildbot/buildslave.py (BuildSlave.addSlaveBuilder): third patch
        from #48, this one to have the BuildSlave objects track
        SlaveBuilders, so they'll be able to use that knowledge to
        influence their canStartBuild() response.
        * buildbot/process/builder.py (SlaveBuilder.attached): call it
        (SlaveBuilder.detached): same
        * buildbot/test/test_slaves.py (BuildSlave): test it

        * buildbot/buildslave.py (BuildSlave.canStartBuild): incorporate
        the second of Dustin's #48 patches, this one adding a method to
        the BuildSlave that allows it to decide whether it is willing to
        participate in a build or not.
        (SlaveBuilder.isAvailable): use canStartBuild() to decide

        * buildbot/test/test_run.py (CanStartBuild): test for it

        * all: incorporate the first of four patches by Dustin Mitchell
        from ticket #48, working towards improving control over slave
        concurrency. The first patch is to use a long-lived BuildSlave
        object per slave, on which other behavior can be added later. I've
        modified his patch considerably.
        * buildbot/buildslave.py (BuildSlave): move class out of
        slave/__init__.py (where it would get loaded by the slave as well
        as the master, making dependencies trickier), and merge it with
        BotPerspective. Now these BuildSlave instances are created once in
        the master.cfg file, and not destroyed until they are either
        removed from the config file or changed so
        much (name/password/class changes) that we cannot continue to use
        the old one. This affects config files: they must use
        'from buildbot.buildslave import BuildSlave' instead of using
        'from buildbot.slave import BuildSlave'.
        * buildbot/master.py: move BotPerspective out
        (BuildMaster.loadConfig_Slaves): examine old and new slaves,
        add or remove as necessary, update the rest using data from
        the new config file.
        * buildbot/slave/__init__.py: move BuildSlave out
        * buildbot/test/test*.py: import BuildSlave from the new place
        * buildbot/scripts/sample.cfg: update to match
        * docs/buildbot.texinfo: update to match
        * buildbot/process/builder.py: update comments to match

2007-08-02  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/status/web/baseweb.py (OneLinePerBuild): improve
        one-line-per-build pages a bit, add a header, refactor slightly

        * buildbot/test/test_maildir.py (MaildirTest.testMaildir): cleanup
        the TimeOutError timer, patch by Dustin Mitchell.

2007-08-01  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/status/web/baseweb.py (OneLinePerBuild): make this
        mostly work (branch= is still ignored, we need a useful header)
        (OneLinePerBuildOneBuilder.body): this too

        * buildbot/status/web/builder.py (StatusResourceBuilder.force):
        bring this up-to-date w.r.t. recent refactorings, and fix
        redirections to bounce the browser to the top page after hitting
        the 'force' button. This needs to be improved, but at least it now
        redirects to a valid page.
        (StatusResourceBuilder.ping): same
        (StatusResourceBuilder.getChild): same, although I think this code
        might be dead anyways

        * buildbot/status/web/waterfall.py (WaterfallStatusResource): add
        a branch= query argument, to filter the display down to builds and
        changes that involve the given branch. You can add multiple
        branch= arguments to see multiple branches (using a logical OR).
        Note that there is no way to include the default branch (i.e.
        None, i.e. trunk) yet, there is still work to be done to allow for
        simple+uniform names of branches (i.e. removing the VC-specific
        details of how branches are implemented, so calling the branch
        'beta4' even though the SVN checkout step requires
        'branches/beta4').
        * buildbot/status/builder.py (BuilderStatus.eventGenerator): same
        * buildbot/changes/changes.py (ChangeMaster.eventGenerator): same
        * buildbot/interfaces.py (IEventSource.eventGenerator): same
        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (Buildbot Web Resources): document it

        * all: bring import statements up-to-date: don't import
        __future__, assume cPickle and cStringIO are always available.
        Also remove #!/usr/bin/python lines from non-scripts, my editor
        has been a bit over-enthusiastic about stuffing them into new .py
        files.

        * buildbot/status/web/index.html: put a link to the waterfall page
        on the index, otherwise first-time users of WebStatus aren't going
        to see anything very interesting.

        * buildbot/interfaces.py (IEventSource): document this interface.
        Thanks to Dustin Mitchell for the patch. Closes #60.
        * buildbot/status/builder.py (BuilderStatus): same
        * buildbot/changes/changes.py (ChangeMaster): same

        * buildbot/status/web/waterfall.py (WaterfallStatusResource.buildGrid):
        add a query arg of 'show_events=true' to display non-build events,
        like slaves attaching/detaching and reconfig events, or
        'show_events=false' to hide them. The default is 'true'.
        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (Buildbot Web Resources): document it

        * web-parts: merge in web-parts branch. Lots of changes. The new
        functionality is to add buildbot.status.html.WebStatus, which is a
        superset of the Waterfall that adds new status pages and serves
        regular files from BASEDIR/public_html/ , which is now the preferred
        place to put robots.txt, buildbot.css, and index.html .
        * buildbot/scripts/runner.py: the 'create-master' command now
        creates public_html/ too, and populates it with a couple of
        static files.
        * buildbot/status/web: split waterfall code into smaller pieces

2007-07-31  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/scripts/startup.py (launch): import twistd.run in a
        different way to hush pyflakes
        * buildbot/process/builder.py: remove unused import

2007-07-30  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/interfaces.py (ISourceStamp): cleanup patch by Dustin
        Mitchell: pass SourceStamps around rather than branch/version/etc
        tuples. Thanks Dustin! Closes #70.
        * buildbot/sourcestamp.py (SourceStamp): insist that .changes is a
        tuple rather than a list, to avoid surprising mutations
        * buildbot/process/builder.py (BuilderControl.resubmitBuild): same
        * buildbot/status/mail.py (MailNotifier.buildMessage): same
        * buildbot/status/builder.py (BuildStatus.getSourceStamp): same
        * buildbot/test/test_status.py (Subscription): same
        * buildbot/test/test_control.py (Force): same
        * buildbot/test/test_buildreq.py (Request.testMerge): same

2007-07-29  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/scripts/sample.cfg: remove the spurious 'builders'
        variable, since it wasn't used and is confusing in the presence of
        c['builders'] (which *is* used). Thanks to Thomas Vander Stichele
        for the suggestion.

        * buildbot/status/web/waterfall.py (WaterfallStatusResource): update
        the Buildbot home-page link to point at buildbot.net instead of 
        sourceforge, and add a current-version query parameter so we can
        get some statistics on which versions are in use out there.

2007-07-28  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/master.py (BuildMaster.loadConfig): replace c['sources']
        with c['change_source'], leaving c['sources'] for backwards
        compatibility (but deprecated), scheduled for removal in 0.8.0
        * docs/buildbot.texinfo: same
        * buildbot/test/test_config.py: verify that c['sources'] still works
        * buildbot/test/test_*.py: replace c['sources'] with c['change_source']
        * buildbot/scripts/sample.cfg: update to match

        * buildbot/changes/mail.py (MaildirSource): parse with python's
        stdlib 'email' module, which has been available since python2.2,
        and drop use of the 'rfc822' module, which has been depreceated
        since python2.3 .
        * buildbot/test/test_maildir.py: same: use parse_file() not parse

        * buildbot/test/test_maildir.py (MaildirTest.testMaildir): oops,
        this needs to match the renaming in test/mail/msg*

        * README (SETTING UP A BUILD MASTER): fix capitalization-typo.
        Closes SF#1752648.

        * buildbot/test/test_mailparse.py: rename sample emails a bit
        * buildbot/test/mail/msg*: same

        * buildbot/changes/mail.py (SVNCommitEmailMaildirSource): add a
        parser for the "commit-email.pl" script that is shipped with SVN,
        written by Justin Mason. Thanks! Closes SF#1072845.
        * buildbot/test/mail/svn-commit.*: sample messages
        * buildbot/test/test_mailparse.py (TestSVNCommitEmail): test it
        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (SVNCommitEmailMaildirSource): docs

2007-07-27  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/changes/mail.py: refactor: move parsing into a method
        named 'parse', each parser type gets a separate subclass. Remove
        the old 'sep' argument (hardcode it to '/'), fix usage of prefix=
        to be a simple leading-substring match. Add a warning to the logs
        if prefix= does not end in a slash, since that's probably a
        mistake. Fix both places where a prefix= mismatch would skip all
        subsequent files in the same email, instead of just skipping the
        one that didn't match.
        * buildbot/test/test_mailparse.py: match changes

        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (Getting Source Code Changes): refactor
        docs on email-based ChangeSources

        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (Getting Source Code Changes): move all
        the changesource types up a level, removing the one-entry menu in
        the process

        * buildbot/master.py (BuildMaster.loadConfig_Slaves): rename
        c['bots'] to c['slaves'], and use buildbot.slave.BuildSlave
        instances instead of tuples. Closes #63.
        * buildbot/slave/__init__.py (BuildSlave): define marker class
        * buildbot/scripts/sample.cfg: use c['slaves'] in sample config
        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (Buildslave Specifiers): document c['slaves']
        * buildbot/test/test_*.py: update tests to match
        * buildbot/test/test_config.py (ConfigTest.testBots): verify that
        the c['bots'] backwards-compatibility handler works

2007-07-26  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/changes/hgbuildbot.py (hook): add an in-process
        Mercurial change-sending hook, contributed by Frederic Leroy.
        Thanks! Addresses #50.
        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (MercurialHook): document it

        * buildbot/changes/hgbuildbot.py: change the way imports are done,
        to make it compatible with at least hg-0.9.1 and the current 0.9.4

2007-07-17  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/process/buildstep.py (BuildStep.getLog): add a
        convenience method to retrieve a log added with
        addLog()/addCompleteLog()/etc or logfiles= . I should have added
        this two years ago..

2007-07-03  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (ShellCommand._startCommand): when
        logging the environment variables, put one variable on each line,
        rather than having one really long line with all of them. This
        should make them a bit more readable and not trigger the
        horizontal scrollbar (when viewing it in a web browser) quite so
        much. Thanks to Albert Hofkamp for the patch.

        * buildbot/steps/shell.py (ShellCommand): allow workdir= to be a
        WithProperties instance. Thanks to Axel Hecht for the patch.
        Closes #43.
        * buildbot/test/test_properties.py (Interpolate.testWorkdir): test it
        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (Build Properties): document it
        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (ShellCommand._startCommand): create the
        workdir if it didn't already exist.

        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (Scheduler Types): correct the description
        of Dependent schedulers. Thanks to Greg Ward for the patch.

        * buildbot/steps/source.py (SVN.startVC): when applying a patch,
        add "[patch]" to the step's display. Thanks to Dustin Mitchell for
        the patch. Closes #49.

        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (rmdirRecursive): chmod everything to
        0700 before removing it, to deal with situations where a build will
        leave files around without write permissions and the 'copy' or
        'clobber' VC checkout modes need to blow away the tree first.
        Thanks to Steve Milner for the suggestion and the patch (which I
        mangled horribly). Closes #29.
        * buildbot/test/test_slavecommand.py (Utilities.test_rmdirRecursive):
        test for it

        * buildbot/test/runutils.py (RunMixin.disappearSlave): oops, add
        an allowReconnect= argument to let callers control whether they
        want this don't-let-it-reconnect behavior, since some tests care.
        Factor out the .continueTrying=False lines from those callers.
        * buildbot/test/test_slaves.py: same
        * buildbot/test/test_run.py: same

2007-07-02  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/test/runutils.py (RunMixin.disappearSlave): once a
        slave has been disappeared, don't let it reconnect. This was
        causing an intermittent failure in test_slaves.py, when the slave
        that was supposed to be gone managed to come back by the end of
        the test and affect the count.
        * buildbot/test/test_slaves.py (Slave.testFallback2): minor
        refactorings
        * buildbot/process/builder.py (SlaveBuilder.__repr__): added some
        diagnostic messages to track down this problem
        (Builder.startBuild): same

        * buildbot/process/builder.py (Builder.maybeStartBuild): choose
        the slave randomly rather than always taking the first one. Thanks
        to Pike for the patch. Closes #36.
        * buildbot/test/test_slaves.py: match the change. to avoid huge
        changes to the tests, I added a CHOOSE_SLAVES_RANDOMLY flag which
        enables/disables the round-robin-ness (enabled by default), and
        some unit tests disable it.
        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (Buildmaster Architecture): document it

        * buildbot/slave/bot.py (BuildSlave.__init__): rename the 'host'
        argument to 'buildmaster_host', to make it more obvious that this
        points to the buildmaster. Thanks to Bob Proulx for the
        suggestion.
        * buildbot/scripts/runner.py (slaveTAC): same
        * buildbot/test/test_runner.py (Create.testSlave): match the change

        * contrib/hg_buildbot.py: patch from Frederic Leroy to make this
        work better.

2007-06-17  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/test/test_config.py (Factories.testAllSteps): make sure
        we can round-trip all of our current step classes by calling
        getStepFactory() and using the results to make a clone of the
        original step.

        * buildbot/steps/maxq.py: fix import errors. Guess this hasn't been
        used in a while..

        * buildbot/process/factory.py (BuildFactory.addStep): To simplify
        the config file, we're moving to using actual instances instead of
        the (class, kwargs) 'step specification' tuples. BuildFactory
        still keeps a list of tuples internally, but when real instances
        are passed in to addStep(), they are asked for their class and
        kwargs using the new BuildStep.getStepFactory method. BuildFactory
        accepts both instances and the tuple form, and converts instances
        to the tuple form, but the instance form is preferred because it
        gives the Steps a chance to do argument validation. Closes: #11.

        * buildbot/process/buildstep.py (BuildStep.__init__): record the
        factory information necessary to implement getStepFactory. The
        addFactoryArguments() method can be used to include arguments that
        aren't passed to the BuildStep base class constructor.
        (BuildStep.setBuild):
        (BuildStep.setDefaultWorkdir): new methods to take parameters that
        are needed for live BuildSteps but not to construct the specification
        tuples that are stashed in the factory.

        * buildbot/process/base.py (Build.setupBuild): pass 'build' and
        'workdir' into new BuildSteps by using methods instead of
        arguments. This makes the constructor for BuildSteps a lot
        simpler.

        * buildbot/steps/*.py: update to match this change. Basically this
        means adding calls to addFactoryArguments() in the __init__
        methods to capture the arguments that aren't passed through to the
        base class.
        * buildbot/steps/shell.py (ShellCommand.setDefaultWorkdir): copy
        the new workdir (if any) into the RemoteShellCommands arguments.
        * buildbot/steps/source.py: allow workdir= to be optional,
        implement setDefaultWorkdir() since we don't inherit from
        (CVS): finally remove old clobber=/export=/copydir= arguments,
        in favor of the mode= argument that's been around forever now.
        * buildbot/steps/transfer.py: remove build= argument

        * buildbot/test/*.py: update to match, generally by turning all
        build= arguments into subsequent calls to s.setBuild()
        * buildbot/test/test_config.py (Factories): verify that we can
        use either BuildStep instances or class/kwarg tuples in both
        BuildFactory.addStep and BuildFactory.__init__

        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (Build Steps): document the new approach,
        mention compatibility with the old approach, update all examples
        to use the new style.

2007-06-16  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/changes/svnpoller.py: when the poll fails, don't kill
        the LoopingCall, just eat the failure so that we'll poll again
        next time. This should allow us to tolerate (e.g.) sf.net SVN
        failures more gracefully. Many thanks to Dustin Mitchell for the
        patch. Closes #34.

2007-05-17  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/status/words.py: refactor the IRC status bot into
        separate 'Contact' and 'Channel' classes. The base Contact class
        contains the interaction code: commands and responses. The
        IRCContact subclass (and IrcStatusBot 'Channel') handle the
        IRC-specific aspects. The plan is to write other subclasses for
        other IM protocols like AIM and Jabber.

2007-04-16  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * CREDITS: update list of contributors. Thank you all!

2007-04-13  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/status/mail.py (MailNotifier): add the project name to
        the subject line and message body, to make it easier to
        distinguish email coming from different buildmasters. Thanks to
        Benoit Sigoure for the patch.
        * buildbot/test/test_status.py (Mail): update to match

2007-03-24  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/steps/transfer.py: open all files in 'b' binary mode to
        avoid text-conversion problems between DOS/windows and unix.
        Thanks to Phil Thompson for the patch. Fixes SF#1674927.

2007-03-03  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/status/html.py (_hush_pyflakes): hush a pyflakes
        warning about the use of Waterfall here

2007-03-01  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/interfaces.py (IStatus.getBuilder): mention exceptions

2007-02-28  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/changes/p4poller.py (P4Source): apply change from Scott
        Lamb to use a more optimal form of 'p4 changes', to reduce server
        load. He reports that this optimization was added to p4d release
        2005.2, but it should work in all versions. Closes #27.
        * buildbot/test/test_p4poller.py: match it

2007-02-27  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/status/web/*.py: move all web status stuff into a
        separate directory, in anticipation of splitting it into smaller
        pieces and adding more files. html.py was getting way too big.
        * buildbot/status/classic.css: move it too
        * setup.py: add the new sub-package
        * buildbot/test/test_web.py: match the changes
        * MANIFEST.in: handle the move of classic.css

2007-02-07  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * contrib/OS-X/*: add some launchd .plist files for automatically
        starting a buildmaster or buildslave under OS-X (10.4 or later).
        Thanks to Mark Pauley for these.

2007-02-06  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (Requirements): update requirements to
        stop claiming compatibility with python-2.2 or twisted-1.3.x .
        Closes #13.
        * README: mention python-2.5 and twisted-2.5 compatibility

        * buildbot/clients/debug.py: hush pyflakes warnings by removing a
        redundant import
        * buildbot/scripts/startup.py: same, by removing twisted-1.3.0
        compatibility
        * buildbot/status/builder.py: same, by requiring cStringIO
        * buildbot/status/words.py: same, remove twisted-1.3.0 compat
        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py: same
        * buildbot/test/test_web.py:
        * buildbot/test/test_steps.py: same, remove unused import

        * buildbot/status/html.py (StatusResourceBuild.body): oops, close
        the FORM tag

        * buildbot/master.py (BuildMaster.loadConfig): warn the user if we
        see any Builders that don't have Schedulers to drive them

        * buildbot/master.py (BotPerspective.__repr__): fit bitrot, the
        attributes this uses went away

        * contrib/bb_applet.py (MyApplet.filled): add a small prefs
        dialog, to allow you to reset the buildmaster and force
        connect/disconnect. Correctly handle losing the buildmaster
        connection (by switching the display to the hexnut, at which point
        you can use the 'Connect' menu item to reconnect).

        * buildbot/steps/source.py (Source.start): if we're using a patch,
        add it as a LogFile to the checkout/update step. This will turn
        into a link on the waterfall page.

        * buildbot/scripts/tryclient.py (Try.createJob): implement --diff
        option, to take the patch from a pre-made file rather than
        generating it from the local tree. Thanks to Robert Helmer for the
        idea. Closes #15 (the Trac ticket on the new http://buildbot.net/).
        * buildbot/scripts/runner.py (TryOptions): add --diff,
        --patchlevel, and --baserev options
        * buildbot/scheduler.py (Try_Jobdir.parseJob): treat a baserev of ""
        as None, meaning HEAD.
        * buildbot/sourcestamp.py (SourceStamp): update docstring to
        indicate that baserev=None means HEAD
        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (try --diff): document it

        * buildbot/test/test_steps.py (BuildStep): remove use of
        reactor.iterate(), although the technique I replaced it with is a
        gross polling hack that must be cleaned up properly some day. This
        was the last use of reactor.iterate in the entire tree, yay.

2007-02-05  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/status/mail.py (MailNotifier.__init__): assert that 'mode'
        is one of the three known values, otherwise we emit some confusing
        messages later on. Thanks to Grig Gheorghiu for the catch.

2007-01-30  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/changes/bonsaipoller.py (BonsaiParser.__init__): Ben
        Hearsum contributed a patch to let BonsaiPoller work with results
        that contain non-ascii characters. Closes SF#1632641.

2007-01-27  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * Makefile (release): produce both .tar.gz and .zip source bundles.
        Closes SF#1222216.

2007-01-23  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/changes/freshcvsmail.py: hush a pyflakes warning
        * buildbot/changes/monotone.py: same

        * buildbot/changes/maildir.py: combine several files into one,
        clean up maildir.py to use Services properly.
        * buildbot/changes/maildirtwisted.py: remove
        * buildbot/changes/maildirgtk.py: remove, it wasn't used by
        buildbot anyways.
        * buildbot/changes/mail.py: match the change
        * buildbot/scheduler.py: same, since Try_Jobdir uses a maildir
        * buildbot/test/test_maildir.py: remove use of reactor.iterate()

        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (command_version): bump to "2.3" to
        indicate that the buildslave knows about the 'bzr' command

2007-01-22  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/process/builder.py (Builder.fireTestEvent): don't use
        'with', it will become a reserved work in python2.6 .

        * contrib/bb_applet.py: add a simple gnome-panel applet, to
        display a terse summary of buildbot status.
        * docs/hexnut32.png, docs/hexnut48.png, docs/hexnut64.png: add
        some icons, small versions of the Blender object that lives in
        docs/images/icon.blend

        * buildbot/steps/source.py (Bzr): add Bazaar-ng support
        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (Bzr): same
        * buildbot/scripts/tryclient.py (BzrExtractor): same
        (SourceStampExtractor.dovc): modify this to allow non-zero exit
        status, since 'bzr diff' does that
        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py (Bzr): same
        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (How Different VC Systems Specify Sources):
        add notes on bzr
        (Bzr): document it

2007-01-20  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * contrib/darcs_buildbot.py: tidy up the progress messages

2007-01-17  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * contrib/darcs_buildbot.py: enhance to handle multiple patches
        being pushed at a time. This keeps state in the repository in a
        small file named .darcs_buildbot-lastchange, but that shouldn't
        interfere with normal repository operations. Fixes SF#1534049.
        * buildbot/clients/sendchange.py (Sender): make a single Sender
        capable of sending Changes with different usernames.

2006-12-11  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/changes/freshcvsmail.py: mark this file as deprecated,
        scheduled for removal in 0.7.7 . The FCMaildirSource was moved to
        buildbot.changes.mail a long time ago, but I forgot to add the
        DeprecationWarning until now.

        * buildbot/process/maxq.py: remove this, the functionality now
        lives in buildbot.steps.maxq

        * buildbot/clients/debug.py: remove an unnecessary gnome.ui import
        * buildbot/clients/gtkPanes.py: remove unused import

        * buildbot/slave/trial.py: remove an unused/incomplete/buggy file,
        that was meant to provide a special Reporter to run inside trial
        and give the buildslave lots of machine-readable status. We never
        finished this project.

        * buildbot/changes/bonsaipoller.py: remove unused imports
        * buildbot/changes/svnpoller.py: same
        * buildbot/process/builder.py: same
        * buildbot/process/buildstep.py: same
        * buildbot/slave/bot.py: hush pyflakes warning
        * buildbot/status/tests.py: remove unused imports
        * buildbot/status/tinderbox.py: same
        * buildbot/steps/python_twisted.py: same

        * buildbot/process/step.py: remove this file, these names were
        deprecated in 0.7.5 and are now being removed.
        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py: same
        * buildbot/test/test_steps.py (ReorgCompatibility): remove test

        * buildbot/twcompat.py: remove the empty file, yay it is gone

        * buildbot/twcompat.py (waitForDeferred): remove the monkeypatch,
        tw-2.0.0 and newer have the method we need.
        (getProcessOutputAndValue): same
        (which): remove this method, tw-2.0.0 t.p.procutils has it

        * buildbot/twcompat.py (implements): remove this method
        * buildbot/*: import implements() from zope.interface directly

        * buildbot/status/mail.py: stop falling back to importing
        twisted.protocols.smtp.sendmail, now that we don't need tw-1.3.0
        support

        * buildbot/twcompat.py (Interface): remove this import
        * buildbot/*: import Interface from zope.interface directly

        * buildbot/twcompat.py (providedBy): remove this method
        * buildbot/*: turn all uses of providedBy(obj, iface) into
        iface.providedBy(obj)

        * buildbot/twcompat.py (maybeWait): remove this method, now that
        we no longer maintain compatibility with Twisted<=1.3.0 .
        Twisted-2.0.0 and later allow trial methods to return Deferreds
        directly.
        * buildbot/test/*: remove all uses of maybeWait

        * buildbot/__init__.py (version): bump to 0.7.5+ while between
        releases
        * docs/buildbot.texinfo: same

2006-12-10  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/__init__.py (version): Releasing buildbot-0.7.5
        * docs/buildbot.texinfo: set version to match

2006-12-10  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * README (REQUIREMENTS): update for release
        * NEWS: update for release
        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (command_version): mention that this
        version (2.2) was released with buildbot-0.7.5

        * buildbot/test/test_config.py (StartService.testStartService):
        inhibit the usual read-config-on-startup behavior, since otherwise
        the log.err that gets recorded causes the test to fail

        * buildbot/status/builder.py (LogFile.finish): forget about all
        subscribers once the log has finished, since after that point
        we're never going to use them again. This might help free up some
        memory somewhere.

        * buildbot/clients/debug.py: update to use gtk.main_quit() rather
        than the old/deprecated gtk.mainquit()

2006-12-09  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/steps/transfer.py (_FileWriter.__del__): handle errors
        better when we can't open the masterdst file

        * buildbot/scripts/startup.py (Follower._failure): add missing
        import statement for BuildSlaveDetectedError

        * buildbot/steps/transfer.py (FileUpload): cleanup
        (FileDownload): same. Add tests for slave version, add mode=.
        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (SlaveFileUploadCommand): same
        (SlaveFileDownloadCommand): same
        * buildbot/test/test_transfer.py: enhance tests
        * buildbot/test/runutils.py (makeBuildStep): create a fake form of
        step.slaveVersion

2006-12-08  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/scripts/runner.py (sendchange): halt the reactor on
        both success *and* failure. Without this, the 'buildbot
        sendchange' command would hang if it could not contact the
        buildmaster or deliver the Change, which would generally cause the
        user's commit/record/checkin command to hang too. Thanks to
        Christian Unger for the catch.

2006-12-06  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * NEWS: update with items for the next release

        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (Adding LogObservers): add a somewhat
        whimsical example pulled from a punch-drunk email I sent out late
        one night.
        (Transferring Files): document some of the other parameters
        (Adding LogObservers): update to 0.7.5 buildbot.steps.*
        (SVNPoller): rename svnpoller.SvnSource to SVNPoller
        * buildbot/test/test_svnpoller.py: same
        * buildbot/changes/svnpoller.py (SVNPoller): same

2006-11-26  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (Build Properties): remind users that
        WithProperties must appear in a command= list, not as a top-level
        instance.
        * buildbot/steps/shell.py (ShellCommand.start): and assert that
        we're sending a list or a single string to the RemoteShellCommand

        * buildbot/scheduler.py (Nightly): Improve docs slightly.

        * buildbot/scripts/startup.py (start): skip the whole
        watch-the-logfile thing under windows, since it needs os.fork()

        * buildbot/scripts/runner.py (restart): remove the old message
        that got printed after the buildbot was restarted.. it most cases
        it didn't get printed at the right time anyways

2006-11-25  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/scripts/runner.py: enhance 'start' and 'restart' to
        follow twistd.log and print lines until the process has started
        started properly. For the buildmaster, this means until the config
        file has been parsed and accepted. For the buildslave, this means
        until we've connected to the master. We give up after 5 seconds in
        any case. Helpful error messages and troubleshooting suggestions
        are printed when we don't see a successful startup. This closes the
        remainder of SF#1517975.
        * buildbot/scripts/startup.py: moved app startup code to here
        * buildbot/scripts/logwatcher.py: utility class to follow log
        * buildbot/scripts/reconfig.py: rewrite to use LogWatcher
        * buildbot/slave/bot.py: announce our BuildSlaveness to the log
        so the LogWatcher can tell the difference between a buildmaster
        and a buildslave

2006-11-24  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * docs/examples/twisted_master.cfg: update to match the version
        in use on twistedmatrix.com
        (IRC): re-enable IRC bot. The 'irc.us.freenode.net' hostname I
        was using before stopped working, but 'irc.freenode.net' works
        just fine.

        * buildbot/scripts/runner.py (run): oops, forgot to enable the new
        'reconfig' command

        * buildbot/clients/base.py (TextClient.not_connected): upon
        UnauthorizedLogin failures, remind the user to connect to the
        PBListener port instead of the slaveport.
        (TextClient.disconnected): shut down more quietly
        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (statuslog): add another reminder

        * buildbot/scripts/runner.py (Options.subCommands): rename
        'buildbot sighup DIR' to 'buildbot reconfig DIR', but keep
        'sighup' as an alias.
        * buildbot/scripts/reconfig.py (Reconfigurator): enhance the
        reconfig command to follow twistd.log and print all of the lines
        from the start of the config-file reload to its completion. This
        should make it a lot easier to discover bugs in the config file.
        Use --quiet to disable this behavior. This addresses half of
        SF#1517975, the other half will be to add this same utility to
        'buildbot start' and 'buildbot restart'.
        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (Loading the Config File): same
        (Shutdown): same

        * buildbot/interfaces.py (IBuilderControl.forceBuild): remove this
        method, it has been deprecated for a long time. Use
        IBuilderControl.requestBuild instead.
        * buildbot/process/builder.py (BuilderControl.forceBuild): remove
        * buildbot/master.py (BotPerspective.perspective_forceBuild): same
        * buildbot/slave/bot.py (Bot.debug_forceBuild): same
        * buildbot/test/test_control.py (Force.testForce): same
        * buildbot/test/test_run.py: use requestBuild instead

        * buildbot/clients/debug.py: replace 'Force Build' button with
        'Request Build' (which just adds one to the queue), add Ping
        Builder, add branch/revision fields to Request Build.
        * buildbot/clients/debug.glade: same
        * buildbot/master.py: update interface to match. This creates an
        incompatibility between new debugclients and old buildmasters.

        * buildbot/process/builder.py (Builder._attached): delay the call
        to maybeStartBuild for a reactor turn, to avoid starting a build
        in the middle of a reconfig (say, if the new Builder uses a new
        slave which is already connected).

2006-11-23  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/test/test_transfer.py: appease pyflakes
        * buildbot/test/test_steps.py: same

        * buildbot/test/test_bonsaipoller.py: remove the 'import *' that
        keeps pyflakes from finding undefined names

        * buildbot/master.py (BuildMaster.loadConfig_Builders): changing a
        Builder no longer induces a disconnect/reconnect cycle. This means
        that any builds currently in progress will not be interrupted, and
        any builds which are queued in the Builder will not be lost. This
        is implemented by having the new Builder extract the state (i.e.
        all pending Builds and any desired SlaveBuilders) from the old
        Builder.
        (BotPerspective): refactor. The BotPerspective no longer keeps
        track of all the Builders that want to use this slave; instead, it
        asks the BotMaster each time it needs this list. This removes
        addBuilder and removeBuilder. Clean up attached() to acquire all
        the slave's information in a more atomic fashion. updateSlave() is
        now the way to make sure the slave is using the right set of
        Builders: just call it after everything else has been
        reconfigured.
        (BotMaster): refactor, removing addBuilder/removeBuilder and
        replacing them with an all-at-once setBuilders() call.

        * buildbot/test/test_slaves.py (Reconfig): new test case to
        exercise this functionality
        * buildbot/steps/dummy.py (Wait): new dummy BuildStep for the test
        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (WaitCommand): same

        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (Loading the Config File): document the
        changes

        * buildbot/process/builder.py (SlaveBuilder): refactor. Allow the
        SlaveBuilder to have its parent Builder changed.
        (SlaveBuilder.isAvailable): new method to give access to state,
        which is now a private attribute
        (SlaveBuilder.buildStarted,buildFinished): new methods to inform
        the SlaveBuilder about how it is being used. These methods update
        its internal state. buildFinished() is now the place that invokes
        maybeStartBuild() on its parent Builder.
        (Builder.consumeTheSoulOfYourPredecessor): new method to allow a
        new Builder to take over for an old one, transferring state from
        the old one.
        (Buider): refactor the way that SlaveBuilders are used to match,
        giving them a bit more autonomy.
        (Builder.buildFinished): this no longer calls maybeStartBuild():
        instead the SlaveBuilder calls it on whoever its parent Builder is
        at the time. This way, when an old Builder is replaced by a new
        one, and there was a build in progress during the transition, when
        that build finishes, it will be the new Builder that is told about
        the newly available slave so it can start a new build.

        * buildbot/process/base.py (Build.startBuild._release_slave): when
        the Build finishes, tell the SlaveBuilder that they've been
        released.

        * buildbot/status/builder.py (SlaveStatus): add some new setter
        methods for use by BotPerspective, to keep some attributes more
        private

        * buildbot/slave/bot.py (Bot.remote_getDirs): this is no longer
        called by the buildmaster.
        (Bot.setBuilderList): instead, we locally announce any leftover
        directories based upon which Builders we were told about. The
        master doesn't really care; it's the local admin who may or may not
        wish to delete them.


        * contrib/svn_buildbot.py: use /usr/bin/python, not /usr/bin/env,
        to allow use of python2.4 or whatever. This tool still requires
        python2.3 or newer.

2006-11-19  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * NEWS (IStatusLog.readlines): more news items

2006-11-18  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * NEWS: start collecting items for the next release.

2006-11-04  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/changes/bonsaipoller.py: apply updates from Ben
        Hearsum. Closes SF#1590310.
        * buildbot/test/test_bonsaipoller.py: and tests

        * buildbot/status/tinderbox.py
        (TinderboxMailNotifier.buildMessage): send out a "testfailed"
        status when the build results in WARNINGS. Patch from Dave
        Liebreich. Closes SF#1587352.

        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (LogFileWatcher.poll): overcome a
        linux-vs-osx behavior difference w.r.t. reading from files that
        have reached EOF. This should fix LogFileWatcher on OS-X. Thanks
        to Mark Rowe for the patch.

2006-10-15  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/interfaces.py (IStatus.getURLForThing): oops, the
        method name was misspelled in the interface definition. Thanks to
        Roy Rapoport for the catch.

2006-10-13  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (Adding LogObservers): update sample code
        to match the great Steps renaming

        * buildbot/steps/transfer.py (FileUpload.start): Fix stupid error.
        Maybe I should run my own unit tests before recording a big
        change. Good thing I've got a buildbot to remind me.

2006-10-12  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/steps/transfer.py: rework __init__ and args setup
        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (SlaveFileDownloadCommand): minor
        docs improvements
        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (SlaveFileDownloadCommand.setup):
        when opening the target file, only catch IOError (to report via
        stderr/rc!=0), let the others be reported as normal exceptions

2006-10-08  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * contrib/svn_watcher.py: fix security holes by using proper argv
        arrays and subprocess.Popen() rather than commands.getoutput().
        Thanks to Nick Mathewson for the patch. Note that svn_watcher.py
        is deprecated in favor of buildbot/changes/svnpoller.py, and will
        probably be removed by the next release.
        * CREDITS: add Nick

2006-10-04  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/steps/python.py (PyFlakes.createSummary): skip any
        initial lines that weren't emitted by pyflakes. When the pyflakes
        command is run under a Makefile, 'make' will echo the command it
        runs to stdio, and that was getting logged as a "misc" warning.
        * buildbot/test/test_steps.py (Python.testPyFlakes2): test it
        * buildbot/test/test_steps.py (testPyFlakes3): another test

2006-10-01  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/status/html.py (HtmlResource.render): if we get a
        unicode object from our content() method, encode it into utf-8
        like we've been claiming to all along. This allows the comments
        and author names from svnpoller.py to be delivered properly.

        * buildbot/changes/svnpoller.py (SvnSource.create_changes):
        de-unicodify filenames before creating the Change, because the
        rest of buildbot is unlikely to handle them well. Leave the 'who'
        field as a unicode object.. I don't think there's anything that
        will break very soon, and it will probably nudge us towards
        accepting unicode everywhere sooner or later. Stop using the
        "date" field that comes out of SVN, since it is using the
        repository's clock (and timezone) and what we care about is the
        buildmaster's (otherwise Changes from the future show up later
        than the builds they triggered).
        * buildbot/test/test_svnpoller.py (Everything.test1): match the
        change to .when

        * buildbot/changes/svnpoller.py (SvnSource): added Niklaus Giger's
        Suvbersion repository polling ChangeSource. I've hacked it up
        considerably: any bugs are entirely my own fault. Thank you
        Niklaus!
        * buildbot/test/test_svnpoller.py: tests for it
        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (SvnSource): document it

2006-09-30  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/scheduler.py (Periodic): submit a reason= to the
        BuildSet to indicate which Scheduler triggered the build. Thanks
        to Mateusz Loskot for the suggestion.
        (Nightly): same
        * buildbot/test/test_scheduler.py (Scheduling.testPeriodic1): test it

        * buildbot/changes/p4poller.py (P4Source): some minor stylistic
        changes: set self.loop in __init__, remove unused volatile=

        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (.buildbot config directory): add more
        docs on the .buildbot/options keys used by "buildbot try"
        * buildbot/scripts/tryclient.py (Try.createJob): remove dead code
        (Try.deliverJob): same

        * buildbot/changes/bonsaipoller.py (BonsaiParser): more updates
        from Robert Helmer
        (BonsaiPoller): same

        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (LogFileWatcher.stop): explicitly
        close the filehandle when we stop watching the file. Before, the
        filehandle was only closed when the LogFileWatcher was
        garbage-collected, which could be quite a while in the future. If
        it was still open by the time the next build started, windows will
        refuse to let the new build delete the old build/ directory. Fixes
        SF#1568415, thanks to <scmikes>, <FireMoth>, and <radix> on
        #twisted for the catch.

2006-09-29  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/status/tinderbox.py (TinderboxMailNotifier): updates
        from Robert Helmer

2006-09-25  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * setup.py: the new buildbot.steps module wasn't being installed.
        Thanks to Jose Dapena Paz for the catch, fixes SF#1560631.
        (testmsgs): add the extra stuff from buildbot/test/* so you can
        run unit tests on an installed copy of buildbot, not just from
        the source tree.

        * contrib/svn_buildbot.py (ChangeSender.getChanges): the first *4*
        columns of 'svnlook changed' output contain status information, so
        strip [:4] instead of [:6]. Depending upon what the status flags
        were, this would sometimes lead to mangled filenames. Thanks to
        Riccardo Magliocchetti for the patch. Closes SF#1545146.

        * buildbot/steps/source.py (Monotone): initial Monotone support,
        contributed by Nathaniel Smith. Still needs docs and tests, but
        this code has been in use on the Monotone buildbot for a long
        time now.
        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (Monotone): slave-side support
        * buildbot/changes/monotone.py (MonotoneSource): polling change
        source

        * buildbot/changes/bonsaipoller.py (BonsaiPoller): Ben also
        contributed a Change Source that polls a Bonsai server (a
        kind of web-based viewcvs CGI script).

        * buildbot/status/tinderbox.py (TinderboxMailNotifier): Ben
        Hearsum contributed a status plugin which sends email in the same
        format that Tinderbox does: this allows a number of tinderbox
        tools to be driven by Buildbot instead. Thanks Ben!

2006-09-24  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/changes/mail.py (parseBonsaiMail): fix the parser.
        Thanks to Robert Helmer for the patch.

        * buildbot/process/base.py (Build.setupSlaveBuilder): tell our
        BuildStatus about the buildslave name at the *beginning* of the
        build, rather than at the end. Thanks to Alexander Lorenz for the
        patch.
        * buildbot/status/html.py (StatusResourceBuild.body): always
        include the slavename in the build page, not just when the build
        has finished.
        * buildbot/status/mail.py (MailNotifier.buildMessage): include the
        slavename in the email message

2006-09-21  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/scripts/sample.cfg: update to use new BuildStep classes
        from buildbot.steps
        * docs/examples/glib_master.cfg: same
        * docs/examples/hello.cfg: same
        * docs/examples/twisted_master.cfg: same, update to current usage

2006-09-19  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/steps/python.py (PyFlakes): refactor, add summary logs
        (PyFlakes.createSummary): make it compatible with python-2.2

        * buildbot/test/test_steps.py (Python.testPyFlakes): add a test
        for at least the output-parsing parts of PyFlakes

2006-09-18  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/steps/python.py: oops, fix import of StringIO

2006-09-17  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py (VCBase._do_vctest_update_retry_1): it
        turns out that SVN-1.4.0 doesn't fail to update once you've
        replaced a file with a directory, unlike older versions of SVN and
        pretty much every other VC tool we support. Since what we really
        care about is that the update succeeds anyway, stop checking that
        the tree got clobbered and just assert that the build succeeded.
        (VCBase.printLogs): add a utility function for debugging

        * buildbot/process/step.py: oops, added extra imports by mistake

        * buildbot/changes/p4poller.py (P4Source._process_describe): do an
        rstrip() on the first line coming out of the 'p4 describe'
        process, to remove the stray ^M that Wade Brainerd reports seeing
        in the 'when' field. Fixes SF#1555985.

        * buildbot/master.py (BuildMaster.loadConfig): improve the error
        message logged when c['schedulers'] is not right
        * buildbot/scheduler.py (Scheduler.__init__): improve error
        message when a Scheduler() is created with the wrong arguments
        * buildbot/test/test_config.py (ConfigTest.testSchedulerErrors):
        verify that these error messages are emitted

        * buildbot/process/buildstep.py: rename step.py to buildstep.py .
        The idea is that all the base classes (like BuildStep and
        RemoteCommand and LogObserver) live in b.p.buildstep, and b.p.step
        will be a leftover backwards-compatibility file that only contains
        aliases for the steps that were moved out to buildbot.steps.*
        * lots: change imports to match
        * buildbot/process/step.py: add a DeprecationWarning if it ever
        gets imported

2006-09-12  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/scheduler.py (Scheduler.__init__): make sure that
        builderNames= is actually a sequence, since if you happen to give
        it a single builder-specification dictionary instead, it won't get
        caught by the existing assert. Thanks to Brett Neely for the
        catch.

        * buildbot/steps/python.py (BuildEPYDoc, PyFlakes): add new steps. No
        tests yet, alas.
        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (Python BuildSteps): document them
        (sendchange): include a link to PBChangeSource, since you need one

        * buildbot/steps/shell.py: clean up test-case-name line, remove some
        unnecessary imports
        * buildbot/steps/dummy.py: same

2006-09-08  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/steps/transfer.py (FileUpload,FileDownload): new
        BuildStep which lets you transfer files from the master to the
        slave or vice versa. Thanks to Albert Hofkamp for the original
        patch. Fixes SF#1504631.
        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (SlaveFileUploadCommand): slave-side
        support for it
        (SlaveFileDownloadCommand): same
        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (Transferring Files): document it
        * buildbot/test/test_transfer.py: test it
        * buildbot/test/runutils.py (StepTester): new utility class for
        testing BuildSteps and RemoteCommands without Builds or Bots or PB
        * buildbot/test/test_steps.py (CheckStepTester): validate that the
        utility class works

        * buildbot/interfaces.py (IStatusLog.readlines): make it easier to
        walk through StatusLogs one line at a time, mostly for the benefit
        of ShellCommand.createSummary methods. You can either walk through
        STDOUT or STDERR, but the default is STDOUT.

        * buildbot/status/builder.py (LogFile.readlines): implement it.
        Note that this is not yet memory-efficient, it just pulls the
        whole file into RAM and then splits it up with a StringIO.
        Eventually this should be a generator that only pulls chunks from
        disk as necessary.
        * buildbot/test/test_status.py (Log.testReadlines): test it

        * docs/buildbot.texinfo: update to match changes
        * buildbot/process/factory.py: stop using old definitions
        * buildbot/process/process_twisted.py: same
        * buildbot/test/test_*.py: same

        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py: move definition to..
        * buildbot/steps/python_twisted.py: .. here, unfortunately python's
        relative-import mechanisms prevent this from being named 'twisted'
        or 'python/twisted' as I would have preferred.

        * buildbot/process/maxq.py: move definition to..
        * buildbot/steps/maxq.py: .. here, leave a compatibility import

        * buildbot/process/step.py: split the user-visible BuildSteps into
        separate files, all under buildbot/steps/
        * buildbot/steps/source.py: this holds VC-checkout steps like SVN
        * buildbot/steps/shell.py: this holds ShellCommand and friends
        * buildbot/steps/dummy.py: this holds the testing steps like Dummy

2006-09-05  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * lots: run pyflakes, removed a lot of unused imports, changed the
        form of some conditional imports to remove false pyflakes
        warnings. There are still a number of warnings left, mostly from
        imports that are done for their side-effects.
        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py: import twisted.python.failure, since it
        was missing

2006-08-26  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/test/test_locks.py (Unit.testLater): make the tests
        compatible with twisted-1.3.0, for some reason I just can't seem
        to let go of the past.

2006-08-25  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/status/mail.py (MailNotifier.__init__): fix typo in docs

        * buildbot/process/step.py (LoggingBuildStep.startCommand): set up
        all logfiles= in startCommand(), rather than in start() . This
        makes it easier to have the 'stdio' log come before any secondary
        logfiles, which I feel makes the waterfall display more
        understandable.
        (LoggingBuildStep.setupLogfiles): move the addLog/cmd.useLog code
        from ShellCommand up into LoggingBuildStep
        (LoggingBuildStep.__init__): move the handling of logfiles= from
        ShellCommand up to LoggingBuildStep, because startCommand is
        provided by LoggingBuildStep, whereas start() was specific to
        subclasses like ShellCommand and Source. This removes code
        duplication in those subclasses.
        (ShellCommand.__init__): same
        (ShellCommand.checkForOldSlaveAndLogfiles): split out the check
        for a slave that's too old to understand logfiles= into a separate
        method, so it can live in ShellCommand. The rest of
        setupLogfiles() can live in LoggingBuildStep.

2006-08-24  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/locks.py (BaseLock): you can now configure Locks to
        allow multiple simultaneous owners. They still default to
        maxCount=1. Fixes SF#1434997. Thanks to James Knight (foom) for
        the patch.
        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (Interlocks): document the new options
        * buildbot/test/test_locks.py: add a bunch of new unit tests
        * buildbot/process/base.py (Build.acquireLocks): locks now offer
        waitUntilMaybeAvailable, not waitUntilAvailable
        * buildbot/process/step.py (BuildStep.acquireLocks): same
        * buildbot/master.py (BotMaster.getLockByID): real locks now use
        the whole lockid in their constructor, not just the name. Also,
        keep track of which real locks we've handed out by the full
        lockid, not just class+name, otherwise changing just the maxCount=
        in the master.cfg file would not actually cause a behavioral
        change

2006-08-23  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/__init__.py (version): bump to 0.7.4+ while between
        releases
        * docs/buildbot.texinfo: same

2006-08-23  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/__init__.py (version): Releasing buildbot-0.7.4
        * docs/buildbot.texinfo: set version to match
        * NEWS: update for 0.7.4
        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (command_version): mention that this
        version (2.1) was released with buildbot-0.7.4

2006-08-22  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * README: update

        * CREDITS: new file, list of people who have helped. Thanks!
        * MANIFEST.in: ship it

        * MANIFEST.in: stop shipping the old PyCon-2003 paper.. with the
        new diagrams, the user's manual is more informative than it was.
        Start shipping the .html user's manual (and generated .png
        images).
        * Makefile: update 'release' target to match

        * buildbot/test/test_web.py (GetURL.testBrokenStuff): delete this
        test.. I think the web-parts effort will render it pointless well
        before it ever actually starts to work.

2006-08-20  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/changes/pb.py (PBChangeSource): fix and simplify
        meaning of the prefix= argument. It is now just a string which is
        stripped from the beginning of the filename. If prefix= is set but
        not found on any given filename, that filename is ignored. If all
        filenames in a Change are ignored, the Change is dropped. This is
        much simpler than the previous sep= nonsense, and I should have
        implemented it this way from the beginning. Effectively resolves
        SF#1217699 and SF#1381867. Thanks to Gary Granger and Marius
        Gedminas for the catch and suggested fixes.
        (ChangePerspective.perspective_addChange): implement the actual
        prefix comparison
        * buildbot/test/test_changes.py (TestChangePerspective): test it
        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (PBChangeSource): document it, explain
        how to properly use prefix=
        * docs/examples/twisted_master.cfg (source): update prefix= by
        adding the trailing slash


        * docs/examples/twisted_master.cfg: update to actual practice

        * buildbot/test/test_web.py (WaterfallSteps.test_urls): oops,
        update test case to match new link text.. the HREF has both a
        class= setting and an enclosing [] pair that I didn't match in the
        test.

        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (ShellCommand.command=): explain why a
        list of strings is preferred over a single string with embedded
        spaces
        (ShellCommand.description=): explain that either single strings or
        a list of strings is acceptable, and why you might prefer one over
        the other. Add an example. Fixes SF#1524659, thanks to Paul
        Winkler for the catch.
        (Build Steps): update to use f.addStep() rather than using s()
        and the constructor list

        * buildbot/process/step.py (ShellCommand): accept either a single
        string or a list of strings in both description= and
        descriptionDone=
        * buildbot/test/test_steps.py (Steps.test_description): test it
        * buildbot/test/runutils.py (makeBuildStep): support for that test

        * contrib/CSS/*.css: add some contributed CSS stylesheets, to make
        the Waterfall display a bit less ugly. Thanks to John O'Duinn for
        collecting the files and creating the patch.

        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (BuildStep URLs): document new feature:
        per-step URLs that will be displayed on the waterfall display,
        for things like the HTML output of code-coverage tools, when
        the results are hosted elsewhere.
        * buildbot/interfaces.py (IBuildStepStatus.getURLs): document the
        way to retrieve these URLs
        * buildbot/status/builder.py (BuildStepStatus.getURLs): implement
        the method to retrieve these URLs. Also provide backwards
        compatibility for saved BuildStepStatus instances that didn't have
        the .urls attribute
        * buildbot/process/step.py (BuildStep.addURL): method to set these
        URLs from within a BuildStep
        * buildbot/status/html.py (StepBox.getBox): emit links to the URLs
        (StepBox.getBox): give these external links a distinct CSS class
        named "BuildStep external" so a .css file can display them
        differently

        * buildbot/test/test_web.py (WaterfallSteps): test that we really
        do emit those links
        * buildbot/test/test_steps.py (Steps): test that we can all the
        URLs. Also add a bunch of other tests on methods that can be
        called from within BuildSteps
        * buildbot/test/runutils.py (makeBuildStep): add utility function

2006-08-13  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (BuildStep LogFiles): document them

2006-08-10  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (Index of master.cfg keys): add another
        index, this one of things like c['sources'] and c['schedulers']
        (indices): it looks like my clever idea of putting the @fooindex
        commands in between the @node and the @subsection (to make the
        HREF anchor jump to slightly above the section title, which works
        much better in html) confused texinfo horribly, so I'm moving the
        index tags back to be just after the @subsection marker. I also
        added extra lines between the @node/@section paragraph and the
        index tags, since I think maybe texinfo wants to see these be
        separate paragraphs.

        * docs/Makefile (images): make sure images get built when
        rendering the manual
        * docs/images/Makefile: same

        * buildbot/scripts/runner.py: rename 'buildbot master' to
        'buildbot create-master', and 'buildbot slave' to 'buildbot
        create-slave'
        * docs/buildbot.texinfo: same
        * README: same

        * docs/buildbot.texinfo: reimplement the "useful classes" index
        with actual texinfo indices. The .info rendering is a bit
        weird-looking but it works well, and the HTML rendering is quite
        nice. This also puts the index targets in the regular flow of the
        text, which is easier to maintain.

2006-08-06  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (ShellCommand.__init__): patch from
        Kevin Turner to prefer the environ= argument be a list rather than
        a string. If it is a list, it will be joined with a platform-local
        os.pathsep delimiter, and then prepended to any existing
        $PYTHONPATH value. This works better in cross-platform (i.e.
        windows buildslaves) environments when you need to push multiple
        directories onto the front of the path.
        (SlaveShellCommand): documented the new magic
        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (ShellCommand): documented the new magic
        in a user-visible form

        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py (BaseHelper.dovc): patch from Kevin
        Turner to prefer lists over strings when creating/running VC
        commands during unit tests. This is clearly necessary to survive
        vcexe containing spaces, like "C:\Program Files\darcs.exe". I
        renamed the wq() function to qw() though, since that's how it's
        spelled in perl. Eventually I'd prefer all commands to be
        specified with lists.

        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (LogFileWatcher): handle logfiles
        which are deleted (or not yet created) correctly. Also add
        failsafe code to not explode if the file-watching poller doesn't
        get started. Thanks to JP Calderone for the catch and the poller
        patch.
        * buildbot/test/test_shell.py (SlaveSide._testLogFiles): add test
        for that case
        * buildbot/test/emitlogs.py: same

        * NEWS: summarize recent changes

        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (Debug options): suggest an .ssh/options
        clause to avoid the "host key mismatch" warning

        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py (Trial.start): if the
        buildslave is too old to understand logfiles=, fall back to
        running 'cat _trial_temp/test.log' like before.
        (Trial.commandComplete): same. this takes advantage of the
        LoggingBuildStep refactoring to stall commandComplete long enough
        to run a second RemoteShellCommand.

        * buildbot/process/step.py (LoggingBuildStep.startCommand):
        refactor command-completion handling, to allow methods like
        commandComplete/createSummary/evaluateCommand to return Deferreds.
        (LoggingBuildStep._commandComplete): delete the refactored method
        (ShellCommand.setupLogfiles): if the buildslave is too old to
        understand logfiles=, put a warning message both into twistd.log
        and into the otherwise empty user-visible LogFiles.

        * buildbot/process/step.py (LoggedRemoteCommand.useLog): allow
        callers to provide the slave-side logfile name, rather than
        forcing it to come from the local name of the LogFile.
        (BuildStep.getSlaveName): new method

        * buildbot/process/base.py (Build.getSlaveName): new method, so
        steps can find out which buildslave they're running on

        * buildbot/test/test_steps.py (Version.checkCompare): oops, update
        to match the s/cvs_ver/command_version/ change

2006-08-05  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (command_version): replace the CVS
        auto-updated cvs_ver keyword with a manually-updated variable,
        since CVS is no longer the master repository. Add a description of
        the remote API change starting in this version (2.1), specifically
        the fact that SlaveShellCommand now accepts 'initial_stdin',
        'keep_stdin_open', and 'logfiles'.

2006-07-31  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (System Architecture): Finally add lots of
        diagrams to describe how the whole system fits together. The
        images themselves are kept in SVG files, with ascii-art versions
        in corresponding .txt files. Texinfo knows how to interpolate the
        text version into .info files, reference the .png versions from
        .html files, and include .eps versions in the .ps format.
        * docs/images/Makefile: tools to create .png and .eps
        * docs/images/*.svg: created pictures with Inkscape.
        * .darcs-boring: ignore the generated .eps and .png files

2006-07-24  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/master.py (BuildMaster.loadConfig): check for duplicate
        Scheduler names, since they cause setServiceParent to explode
        later.
        * buildbot/test/test_config.py (ConfigTest._testSchedulers_7): test it

2006-07-20  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/scripts/sample.cfg: simplify the sample BuildFactory,
        which runs the buildbot unit tests

        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (Index of Useful Classes): add a table of
        classes that are useful in master.cfg

2006-07-15  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * Makefile (some-apidocs): new target to build only some epydocs

        * setup.py: minor comment.. does the classifiers= argument prevent
        the setup.py script from working on python2.2/2.3?

        * buildbot/scripts/sample.cfg: update manhole example, arrange into
        major sections

        * buildbot/twcompat.py: fix minor typo in comments

        * buildbot/manhole.py: move all Manhole-related code out to this
        module. Implement SSH-based manholes (with TwistedConch), and move
        to conch's nifty line-editing syntax-coloring REPL shell instead
        of the boring non-editing monochromatic (and deprecated) old
        'telnet' protocol.
        * buildbot/master.py: remove all Manhole-related code
        (BuildMaster.loadConfig._add): make sure the old manhole is
        removed before we add the new one
        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (Debug options): document new Manhole options

        * buildbot/twcompat.py (_which): fix some epydoc issues
        * buildbot/status/html.py (Waterfall.__init__): same

2006-06-29  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/interfaces.py: get Interface from b.twcompat to hush
        deprecation warnings under newer Twisteds (by using
        zope.interface.Interface instead of old twisted.python.components
        stuff)
        * buildbot/slave/interfaces.py: same

2006-06-28  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (SVN): add --non-interactive to all
        svn commands, so it will fail immediately instead of hanging while
        it waits for a username/password to be typed in.

        * buildbot/slave/bot.py (SlaveBuilder.commandComplete): add minor
        log message if the step was shut down

        * buildbot/scripts/runner.py (SlaveOptions.longdesc): remove
        obsolete reference to mktap.

2006-06-20  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/test/test_steps.py (BuildStep.testShellCommand1): update
        test to include new 'logfiles' argument sent from master to slave

2006-06-19  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py (Trial): track Progress from
        _trial_temp/test.log too

        * buildbot/process/step.py (OutputProgressObserver): generalize
        the earlier StdioProgressObserver into an OutputProgressObserver
        that can track LogFiles other than stdio.
        (LoggingBuildStep.__init__): same

        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py (Trial): use logfiles= to track
        _trial_temp/test.log, not a separate 'cat' command. TODO: this
        will fail under windows because of os.sep issues. It might have
        worked before if 'cat' was doing cygwin path conversion.

        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (LogFileWatcher.__init__): note the
        creation of LogFileWatchers
        (ShellCommand._startCommand): and record the files that were
        watched in the 'headers' section of the ShellCommand output

        * buildbot/process/step.py (RemoteShellCommand.__init__): duh, you
        need to actually pass it to the slave if you want it to work.
        (ShellCommand): document it a bit

        * buildbot/test/test_shell.py: new test to validate LogFiles
        * buildbot/test/runutils.py (SlaveCommandTestBase): updates to
        test LogFiles
        * buildbot/test/emitlogs.py: enhance to wait for a line on stdin
        before printing the last batch of lines, to test that the polling
        logic is working properly

        * buildbot/process/step.py (LoggedRemoteCommand): improve LogFile
        handling, making it possible to track multiple logs for a single
        RemoteCommand. The previous single logfile is now known as the
        'stdio' log.
        (LoggedRemoteCommand.remoteUpdate): accept key='log' updates
        (RemoteShellCommand.__init__): accept logfiles=
        (LoggingBuildStep.startCommand): stdio_log is now one of many
        (ShellCommand): added logfiles= argument, as well as a class-level
        .logfiles attribute, which will be merged together to figure out
        which logfiles should be tracked. The latter maybe be useful for
        subclasses of ShellCommand which know they will aways produce
        secondary logfiles in the same location.

        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (ShellCommandPP): add writeStdin()
        and closeStdin() methods, preparing to make it possible to write
        to a ShellCommand's stdin at any time, not just at startup. These
        writes are buffered if the child process hasn't started yet.
        (LogFileWatcher): new helper class to watch arbitrary logfiles
        while a ShellCommand runs. This class polls the file every two
        seconds, and sends back 10k chunks to the buildmaster.
        (ShellCommand): rename stdin= to initialStdin=, and add
        keepStdinOpen= and logfiles= to arguments. Set up LogFileWatchers
        at startup.
        (ShellCommand.addLogfile): LogFile text is sent in updates with a
        key of "log" and a value of (logname, data).
        (SlaveShellCommand): add 'initial_stdin', 'keep_stdin_open', and
        'logfiles' to the master-visible args dictionary.
        (SourceBase.doPatch): match s/stdin/initialStdin/ change
        (CVS.start): same
        (P4.doVCFull): same
        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py (Patch.testPatch): same


        * buildbot/test/emit.py: write to a logfile in the current
        directory. We use this to figure out what was used as a basedir
        rather than looking to see which copy of emit.py gets run, so that
        we can run the commands from inside _trial_temp rather than inside
        buildbot/test
        * buildbot/test/subdir/emit.py: same
        * buildbot/test/runutils.py (FakeSlaveBuilder): take a 'basedir'
        argument rather than running from buildbot/test/
        (SlaveCommandTestBase.setUpBuilder): explicitly set up the Builder
        rather than using an implicit setUp()
        * buildbot/test/test_slavecommand.py (ShellBase.setUp): same
        (ShellBase.testShell1, etc): use explicit path to emit.py instead
        of assuming that we're running in buildbot/test/ (and that '.' is
        on our $PATH)

        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (Command.doStart): refactor Command
        startup/completion a bit: now the SlaveBuilder calls doStart(),
        which is not meant for overridding by subclasses, and doStart()
        calls start(), which is. Likewise the SlaveBuilder calls
        doInterrupt(), and subclasses override interrupt(). This also puts
        responsibility for maintaining .running in Command rather than in
        SlaveBuilder.
        (Command.doInterrupt): same
        (Command.commandComplete): same, this is called when the deferred
        returned by start() completes.
        * buildbot/slave/bot.py (SlaveBuilder.remote_startCommand): same
        (SlaveBuilder.remote_interruptCommand): same
        (SlaveBuilder.stopCommand): same

2006-06-16  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/test/test_shell.py: new test file to contain everything
        relating to ShellCommand
        (SlaveSide.testLogFiles): (todo) test for the upcoming "watch
        multiple logfiles in realtime" feature, not yet implemented
        * buildbot/test/emitlogs.py: support file for testLogFiles
        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (ShellCommand): document the feature

        * buildbot/test/test_steps.py (BuildStep.setUp): rmtree refactoring

        * buildbot/test/runutils.py (SlaveCommandTestBase): utility class
        for tests which exercise SlaveCommands in isolation.

        * buildbot/test/test_slavecommand.py: Move some utilities like
        SignalMixin and FakeSlaveBuilder from here ..
        * buildbot/test/runutils.py: .. to here, so they can be used by
        other test classes too
        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py: more SignalMixin refactoring
        * buildbot/test/test_control.py: same
        * buildbot/test/test_run.py: and some rmtree refactoring

2006-06-15  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py (P4.testCheckoutBranch): rename from
        'testBranch' to match other VC tests and have the tests run in
        roughly increasing order of dependency

        * buildbot/test/test_steps.py (LogObserver): new test to verify
        LogObservers can be created at various times and still get
        connected up properly

        * buildbot/test/runutils.py (setupBuildStepStatus): utility method
        to create BuildStepStatus instances that actually work.

        * buildbot/process/step.py (LogObserver): add outReceived and
        errReceived base methods, to be overridden

        * buildbot/status/builder.py (BuildStatus.addStepWithName): change
        API to take a name instead of a step, reducing the coupling
        somewhat. This returns the BuildStepStatus object so it can be
        passed to the new Step, instead of jamming it directly into the
        Step.
        * buildbot/process/step.py (BuildStep.setStepStatus): add a setter
        method
        * buildbot/process/base.py (Build.setupBuild): use both methods
        * buildbot/test/test_web.py (Logfile.setUp): rearrange the setup
        process a bit to match

2006-06-14  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (Adding LogObservers): add some limited
        docs on writing new LogObserver classes
        (Writing New Status Plugins): brief docs on how Status Plugins fit
        together

        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py (TrialTestCaseCounter):
        implement a LogObserver that counts how many unit tests have been
        run so far
        (Trial.__init__): wire it in
        * buildbot/test/test_twisted.py (Counter): unit test for it

        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py (HLint.commandComplete): update
        to new cmd.logs['stdio'] scheme
        (Trial.commandComplete): same
        (BuildDebs.commandComplete): same

        * buildbot/process/step.py (LoggedRemoteCommand): use a dict of
        LogFiles, instead of just a single one. The old single logfile is
        now called "stdio". LoggedRemoteCommand no longer creates a
        LogFile for you (the code to do that was broken anyway). If you
        don't create a "stdio" LogFile, then stdout/stderr will be
        discarded.
        (LogObserver): implement "LogObservers", which a BuildStep can add
        to parse the output of a command in real-time. The primary use is
        to provide more useful information to the Progress code, allowing
        better ETA estimates.
        (LogLineObserver): utility subclass which feeds complete lines to
        the parser instead of bytes.
        (BuildStep.progressMetrics): this is safer as a tuple
        (BuildStep.setProgress): utility method, meant to be called by
        LogObservers
        (BuildStep.addLogObserver): new method, to be called at any time
        during the BuildStep (even before any LogFiles have been created),
        to attach (or schedule for eventual attachment) a LogObserver to a
        LogFile.
        (StdioProgressObserver): new LogObserver which replaces the old
        "output" progress gatherer
        (LoggingBuildStep.__init__): same
        (LoggingBuildStep.startCommand): set up the "stdio" LogFile
        (LoggingBuildStep._commandComplete): must use logs['stdio']
        instead of the old single ".log" attribute.
        * buildbot/status/builder.py (LogFile): remove old logProgressTo
        functionality, now subsumed into StdioProgressObserver
        * buildbot/test/test_status.py (Subscription._testSlave_2): the
        log name changed from "output" to "stdio".


        * buildbot/interfaces.py (ILogFile): add the Interface used from
        the BuildStep towards the LogFile
        (ILogObserver): and the one provided by a LogObserver
        * buildbot/status/builder.py (LogFile): implement it

        * buildbot/interfaces.py (LOG_CHANNEL_*): move STDOUT / STDERR /
        HEADER constants here ..
        * buildbot/status/builder.py (STDOUT): .. from here

2006-06-13  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/test/test_p4poller.py (TestP4Poller.failUnlessIn): fix
        compatibility with python2.2, which doesn't have the 'substr in
        str' feature.
        (TestP4Poller.makeTime): utility function to construct the
        timestamp using the same strptime() approach as p4poller does. It
        turns out that time.mktime() behaves slightly differently under
        python2.2, probably something to do with the DST flag, and that
        causes the test to fail under python2.2. (changing the mktime()
        arguments to have dst=0 instead of -1 caused it to fail under
        python2.3. Go figure.)
        (TestP4Poller._testCheck3): use our makeTime() instead of mktime()

2006-06-12  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/process/step.py (P4): merge in patch SF#1473939, adding
        proper Perforce (P4) support. Many many thanks to Scott Lamb for
        contributing such an excellent patch, including docs and unit
        tests! This makes it *so* much easier to apply. I had to update
        test_vc.py to handle some recent refactorings, but everything else
        applied smoothly. The only remaining thing I'd like to fix would
        be to remove the hard-wired port 1666 used by p4d, and allow it to
        claim any unused port. This would allow two copies of the test
        suite to run on the same host at the same time, as well as
        allowing the test suite to run while a real (production) p4d was
        running on the same host. Oh, and maybe we should add a warning to
        step.P4 that gets emitted if the slave is too old to provide the
        'p4' SlaveCommand. Otherwise it looks great. (closes: SF#1473939).
        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (P4): same
        (P4Sync): same, some minor updates
        * buildbot/changes/p4poller.py: same
        * docs/buildbot.texinfo: same
        * buildbot/test/test_p4poller.py: same
        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py (P4): same

        * setup.py: add Trove classifiers for PyPI

2006-06-08  Brian Warner  <warner@allmydata.com>

        * buildbot/status/client.py
        (RemoteBuilder.remote_getCurrentBuilds): oops, I screwed up when
        changing this from getCurrentBuild() to getCurrentBuilds(). Each
        build needs to be IRemote'd separately, rather than IRemote'ing
        the whole list at once. I can't wait until newpb's serialization
        adapters make this unnecessary.

2006-06-06  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/process/step.py (WithProperties): make this inherit
        from ComparableMixin, so that reloading an unchanged config file
        doesn't cause us to spuriously reload any Builders which use them.
        * buildbot/test/test_config.py (ConfigTest.testWithProperties):
        add a test for it

2006-06-03  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * contrib/windows/{setup.py, buildbot_service.py}: add support for
        running py2exe on windows, contributed by Mark Hammond. Addresses
        SF#1401121, but I think we still need to include
        buildbot/scripts/sample.cfg
        * setup.py: include buildbot_service.py as a script under windows
        * buildbot/status/html.py: when sys.frozen (i.e. we're running in
        a py2exe application), get the icon/css datafiles from a different
        place than usual.

        * buildbot/status/mail.py (MailNotifier.buildMessage): don't
        double-escape the build URL. Thanks to Olivier Bonnet for the
        patch. Fixes SF#1452801.

2006-06-02  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * contrib/svn_buildbot.py (ChangeSender.getChanges): ignore the
        first six columns of 'svnlook' output, not just the first column,
        since property changes appear in the other five. Thanks to Olivier
        Bonnet for the patch. Fixes SF#1398174.

2006-06-01  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/test/test_web.py (Logfile.setUp): set the .reason on
        the fake build, so that title= has something to be set to

        * buildbot/status/html.py (BuildBox.getBox): set the 'title='
        attribute of the "Build #NN" link in the yellow start-the-build
        box to the build's reason. This means that you get a little
        tooltip explaining why the build was done when you hover over the
        yellow box. Thanks to Zandr Milewski for the suggestion.

        * buildbot/clients/gtkPanes.py (Box.setColor): ignore color=None
        (Box.setETA): handle ETA=None (by stopping the timer)
        (Box.update): make the [soon] text less different than the usual
        text, so the rest of the text doesn't flop around so much. It
        would be awfully nice to figure out how to center this stuff.
        (ThreeRowBuilder.stepETAUpdate): more debugging printouts

        * buildbot/process/step.py (ShellCommand): set flunkOnFailure=True
        by default, so that any ShellCommand which fails marks the overall
        build as a failure. I should have done this from the beginning.
        Add flunkOnFailure=False to the arguments if you want to turn off
        this behavior.

2006-05-30  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/clients/gtkPanes.py: add a third row: now it shows
        last-build/current-build/current-step. Show what step is currently
        running. Show ETA for both the overall build and the current step.
        Update GTK calls to modern non-deprecated forms. There's still a
        lot of dead code and debug noise to remove.

        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py (Trial): set the step name, so it
        shows up properly in status displays

2006-05-28  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/test/test_properties.py (Run.testInterpolate): on the
        build we use to verify that WithProperties works:

        ** set flunkOnFailure=True so that build failures get noticed
        ** set workdir='.' so that the build succeeds, otherwise it is trying
            to touch 'build/something', and 'build/' doesn't exist because
            usually that's created by a Source step
        ** set timeout=10, because Twisted-1.3.0 has a race condition that
            this test somehow triggers, in which the 'touch' process becomes
            a zombie and we wait for th etimeout before giving up on it.

        * buildbot/test/runutils.py (RunMixin.logBuildResults): utility method
        to log the Build results and step logs to the twisted log.
        (RunMixin.failUnlessBuildSucceeded): use logBuildResults to record
        what went wrong if a build was expected to succeed but didn't.

        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py (Trial): set the default
        trialMode to '--reporter=bwverbose', which specifies verbose
        black-and-white text. Back in twisted-1.3/2.0 days we had to use
        '-to', but those are completely missing in modern Twisteds.

        * buildbot/scripts/sample.cfg: make the sample Manhole config use
        a localhost-only port, to encourage better security

        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (Change Sources): mention
        darcs_buildbot.py

        * .darcs-boring: add a Darcs boringfile

        * README (REQUIREMENTS): stop claiming compatibility with
        Twisted-1.3.0

        * contrib/darcs_buildbot.py: write a darcs-commit-hook change
        sender

2006-05-27  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/__init__.py: bump to 0.7.3+ while between releases
        * docs/buildbot.texinfo: same

2006-05-23  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/__init__.py (version): Releasing buildbot-0.7.3
        * docs/buildbot.texinfo: set version to match
        * NEWS: update for 0.7.3

        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (Change Sources): mention hg_buildbot.py,
        give a quick mapping from VC system to possible ChangeSources
        (Build Properties): add 'buildername'

        * buildbot/process/base.py (Build.setupStatus): oops, set
        'buildername' and 'buildnumber' properties
        * buildbot/test/test_properties.py (Interpolate.testBuildNumber):
        test them

2006-05-22  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (Build Properties): explain the syntax of
        property interpolation better

        * README (INSTALLATION): remove old '-v' argument from recommended
        trial command line

        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (ShellCommand): add docs for description=
        and descriptionDone= arguments. Thanks to Niklaus Giger for the
        patch. SF#1475494.

        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (SVN.parseGotRevision._parse): use
        'svnversion' instead of grepping the output of 'svn info', much
        simpler and avoids CR/LF problems on windows. Thanks to Olivier
        Bonnet for the suggestion.
        (SVN.parseGotRevision): oops, older verisons of 'svnversion'
        require the WC_PATH argument, so run 'svnversion .' instead.

        * buildbot/interfaces.py (IChangeSource): methods in Interfaces
        aren't supposed to have 'self' in their argument list

2006-05-21  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/process/step.py (ShellCommand.start): make
        testInterpolate pass. I was passing the uninterpolated command to
        the RemoteShellCommand constructor
        (ShellCommand._interpolateProperties): oops, handle non-list
        commands (i.e. strings with multiple words separated by spaces in
        them) properly, instead of forgetting about them.

        * buildbot/test/test_properties.py (Run.testInterpolate): new test
        to actually try to use build properties in a real build. This test
        fails.
        * buildbot/test/runutils.py (RunMixin.requestBuild): utility methods
        to start and evaluate builds

        * buildbot/test/test__versions.py: add a pseudo-test to record
        what version of Twisted/Python/Buildbot are running. This should
        show up at the beginning of _trial_tmp/test.log, and exists to help
        debug other problems.

        * buildbot/status/html.py (Waterfall): add 'robots_txt=' argument,
        a filename to be served as 'robots.txt' to discourage web spiders.
        Adapted from a patch by Tobi Vollebregt, thanks!
        * buildbot/test/test_web.py (Waterfall._test_waterfall_5): test it
        (Waterfall.test_waterfall): tweak the way that filenames are put
        into the config file, to accomodate windows pathnames better.

        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (HTML Waterfall): document it

        * buildbot/process/process_twisted.py
        (QuickTwistedBuildFactory.__init__): recent versions of Twisted
        changed the build process. The new setup.py no longer takes the
        'all' argument.
        (FullTwistedBuildFactory.__init__): same
        (TwistedReactorsBuildFactory.__init__): same

        * contrib/hg_buildbot.py: wrote a commit script for mercurial, to
        be placed in the [hooks] section of the central repository (the
        one that everybody pushes changes to).

2006-05-20  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (Darcs.doVCFull): when writing the
        .darcs-context file, use binary mode. I think this was causing a
        Darcs failure under windows.

2006-05-19  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/scripts/tryclient.py (CVSExtractor.getBaseRevision):
        use a timezone string of +0000 and gmtime, since this timestamp is
        sent to a buildmaster and %z is broken.

        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py (CVSHelper.getdate): use no timezone
        string and localtime, since this timestamp will only be consumed
        locally, and %z is broken.

        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (CVS.parseGotRevision): use +0000 and
        gmtime, since this timestamp is returned to the buildmaster, and
        %z is broken.

2006-05-18  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * NEWS: update in preparation for next release

        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py (VCS_Helper): factor out all the
        setup-repository and do-we-have-the-vc-tools code into a separate
        "helper" class, which sticks around in a single module-level
        object. This seems more likely to continue to work in the future
        than having it hide in the TestCase and hope that TestCases stick
        around for a long time.

        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py (MercurialSupport.vc_create): 'hg
        addremove' has been deprecated in recent versions of mercurial, so
        use 'hg add' instead

2006-05-07  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/scheduler.py (Try_Jobdir.messageReceived): when
        operating under windows, move the file before opening it, since
        you can't rename a file that somebody has open.

        * buildbot/process/base.py (Build.setupBuild): if something goes
        wrong while creating a Step, log the name and arguments, since the
        error message when you get the number of arguments wrong is really
        opaque.

2006-05-06  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py (Trial.setupEnvironment): more
        bugs in twisted-specific code not covered by my unit tests, this
        time use 'cmd' argument instead of self.cmd

        * buildbot/process/process_twisted.py (TwistedBuild.isFileImportant):
        fix stupid braino: either use startwith or find()==0, not both.
        (TwistedReactorsBuildFactory.__init__): another dumb typo

        * buildbot/test/test_slavecommand.py (ShellBase.testInterrupt1): 
        mark this test as TODO under windows, since process-killing seems
        dodgy there. We'll come back to this later and try to fix it
        properly.

        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py (CVSSupport.getdate): use localtime,
        and don't include a timezone
        (CVSSupport.vc_try_checkout): stop trying to strip the timezone.
        This should avoid the windows-with-verbose-timezone-name problem
        altogether.
        (Patch.testPatch): add a test which runs 'patch' with less
        overhead than the full VCBase.do_patch sequence, to try to isolate
        a windows test failure. This one uses slave.commands.ShellCommand
        and 'patch', but none of the VC code.

        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (getCommand): use which() to find the
        executables for 'cvs', 'svn', etc. This ought to help under
        windows.

        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py (VCBase.do_getpatch): Delete the
        working directory before starting. If an earlier test failed, the
        leftover directory would mistakenly flunk a later test.
        (ArchCommon.registerRepository): fix some tla-vs-baz problems.
        Make sure that we use the right commandlines if which("tla") picks
        up "tla.exe" (as it does under windows).
        (TlaSupport.do_get): factor out this tla-vs-baz difference
        (TlaSupport.vc_create): more tla-vs-baz differences

        * buildbot/test/test_slavecommand.py
        (ShellBase.testShellMissingCommand): stop trying to assert
        anything about the error message: different shells on different
        OSes with different languages makes it hard, and it really isn't
        that interesting of a thing to test anyway.

        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py (CVSSupport.capable): skip CVS tests if
        we detect cvs-1.10 (which is the version shipped with OS-X 10.3
        "Panther"), because it has a bug which flunks a couple tests in
        weird ways. I've checked that cvs-1.12.9 (as shipped with debian)
        is ok. OS-X 10.4 "Tiger" ships with cvs-1.11, but I haven't been
        able to test that yet.

2006-04-30  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py (VCBase.runCommand): set $LC_ALL="C" to
        make sure child commands emit messages in english, so our regexps
        will match. Thanks to Nikaus Giger for identifying the problems.
        (VCBase._do_vctest_export_1): mode="export" is not responsible
        for setting the "got_revision" property, since in many cases it is
        not convenient to determine.
        (SVNSupport.capable): when running 'svn --version' to check for
        ra_local, we want error messages in english
        * buildbot/test/test_slavecommand.py 
        (ShellBase.testShellMissingCommand): set $LC_ALL="C" to get bash
        to emit the error message in english

        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (SourceBase.setup): stash a copy of
        the environment with $LC_ALL="C" so that Commands which need to
        parse the output of their child processes can obtain it in
        english.
        (SVN.parseGotRevision): call "svn info" afterwards instead of
        watching the output of the "svn update" or "svn checkout".
        (Darcs.parseGotRevision): use $LC_ALL="C" when running the command
        (Arch.parseGotRevision): same
        (Bazaar.parseGotRevision): same
        (Mercurial.parseGotRevision): same

        * buildbot/scripts/tryclient.py (SourceStampExtractor.dovc): set
        $LC_ALL="C" when running commands under 'buildbot try', too

        * buildbot/test/__init__.py: remove the global os.environ()
        setting, instead we do it just for the tests that run commands and
        need to parse their output.

        * buildbot/test/test_scheduler.py (Scheduling.testTryJobdir):
        remove the overly-short .timeout on this test, because non-DNotify
        platforms must fall back to polling which happens at 10 second
        intervals, so a 5 second timeout would never succeed.

2006-04-24  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (Installing the code): update trial
        invocation, SF#1469116 by Niklaus Giger.
        (Attributes of Changes): updated branch-name examples to be
        a bit more realistic, SF#1475240 by Stephen Davis.

        * contrib/windows/buildbot2.bat: utility wrapper for windows
        developers, contributed by Nick Trout (after a year of neglect..
        sorry!). SF#1194231.

        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py (*.capable): store the actual VC
        binary's pathname in VCS[vcname], so it can be retrieved later
        (CVSSupport.vc_try_checkout): incorporate Niklaus Giger's patch to
        strip out non-numeric timezone information, specifically the funky
        German string that his system produced that confuses CVS.
        (DarcsSupport.vc_create): use dovc() instead of vc(), this should
        allow Darcs tests to work on windows
        * buildbot/scripts/tryclient.py (SourceStampExtractor): use
        procutils.which() everywhere, to allow tryclient to work under
        windows. Also from Niklaus Giger, SF#1463394.

        * buildbot/twcompat.py (which): move the replacement for a missing
        twisted.python.procutils.which from test_vc.py to here, so it can
        be used in other places too (specifically tryclient.py)

2006-04-23  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/status/html.py (StatusResourceBuild.body): replace the
        bare buildbotURL/projectName line with a proper DIV, along with a
        CSS class of "title", from Stefan Seefeld (SF#1461675).
        (WaterfallStatusResource.body0): remove the redundant 'table'
        class from the table
        (WaterfallStatusResource.body): same. Also add class="LastBuild"
        to the top-row TR, and class="Activity" to the second-row TR,
        rather than putting them in the individual TD nodes.

        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py (VCBase.checkGotRevision): test
        'got_revision' build property for all VC systems that implement
        accurate ones: SVN, Darcs, Arch, Bazaar, Mercurial.

        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (SourceBase._handleGotRevision): try
        to determine which revision we actually obtained
        (CVS.parseGotRevision): implement this for CVS, which just means
        to grab a timestamp. Not ideal, and it depends upon the buildslave
        having a clock that is reasonably well syncronized with the server,
        but it's better than nothing.
        (SVN.parseGotRevision): implement it for SVN, which is accurate
        (Darcs.parseGotRevision): same
        (Arch.parseGotRevision): same
        (Bazaar.parseGotRevision): same
        (Mercurial.parseGotRevision): same

        * buildbot/process/step.py (LoggedRemoteCommand.remoteUpdate):
        keep a record of all non-stdout/stderr/header/rc status updates,
        for the benefit of RemoteCommands that send other useful things,
        like got_revision
        (Source.commandComplete): put any 'got_revision' status values
        into a build property of the same name


        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py (Trial): update to deal with
        new ShellCommand refactoring

        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (Build Properties): document new feature
        that allows BuildSteps to get/set Build-wide properties like which
        revision was requested and/or checked out.

        * buildbot/interfaces.py (IBuildStatus.getProperty): new method
        * buildbot/status/builder.py (BuildStatus.getProperty): implement
        it. Note that this bumps the persistenceVersion of the saved Build
        object, so add the necessary upgrade-old-version logic to include
        an empty properties dict.

        * buildbot/process/base.py (Build.setProperty): implement it
        (Build.getProperty): same
        (Build.startBuild): change build startup to set 'branch',
        'revision', and 'slavename' properties at the right time

        * buildbot/process/step.py (BuildStep.__init__): change setup to
        require 'build' argument in a better way
        (LoggingBuildStep): split ShellCommand into two pieces, for better
        subclassing elsewhere. LoggingBuildStep is a BuildStep which runs
        a single RemoteCommand that sends stdout/stderr status text. It
        also provides the usual commandComplete / createSummary /
        evaluateCommand / getText methods to be overridden...
        (ShellCommand): .. whereas ShellCommand is specifically for
        running RemoteShellCommands. Other shell-like BuildSteps (like
        Source) can inherit from LoggingBuildStep instead of ShellCommand
        (WithProperties): marker class to do build-property interpolation
        (Source): inherit from LoggingBuildStep instead of ShellCommand
        (RemoteDummy): same

        * buildbot/test/test_properties.py: test new functionality

2006-04-21  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py: rename testBranch to
        testCheckoutBranch to keep the tests in about the right
        alphabetical order

2006-04-18  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (PBListener): improve cross-references
        between PBListener and 'buildbot statusgui', thanks to John Pye
        for the suggestion.

2006-04-17  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/twcompat.py (maybeWait): handle SkipTest properly when
        running under Twisted-1.3.0, otherwise skipped tests are reported
        as errors.

        * all: use isinstance() instead of 'type(x) is foo', suggested by
        Neal Norwitz

        * buildbot/process/process_twisted.py (QuickTwistedBuildFactory):
        oops, fix a brain-fade from the other week, when making the
        addStep changes. I changed all the __init__ upcalls to use the
        wrong superclass name.
        (FullTwistedBuildFactory.__init__): same
        (TwistedDebsBuildFactory.__init__): same
        (TwistedReactorsBuildFactory.__init__): same
        (TwistedBuild.isFileImportant): use .startswith for clarity,
        thanks to Neal Norwitz for the suggestions.

        * contrib/viewcvspoll.py: script to poll a viewcvs database for
        changes, then deliver them over PB to a remote buildmaster.

        * contrib/svnpoller.py: added script by John Pye to poll a remote
        SVN repository (by running 'svn log') from a cronjob, and run
        'buildbot sendchange' to deliver the changes to a remote
        buildmaster.
        * contrib/svn_watcher.py: added script by Niklaus Giger (a
        modification of svnpoller.py), same purpose, but this one loops
        internally (rather than expecting to run from a cronjob) and works
        under windows.
        * contrib/README.txt: same

2006-04-11  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * all: fix a number of incorrect names and missing imports, thanks
        to Anthony Baxter for the patch.
        * buildbot/status/html.py (WaterfallStatusResource.statusToHTML): 
        remove unused buggy method.
        * buildbot/status/builder.py (BuildStatus.saveYourself): rmtree
        comes from shutil, not "shutils"
        * buildbot/process/step.py (TreeSize.evaluateCommand): fix bad name
        (Arch.checkSlaveVersion): same
        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py (Trial.commandComplete): same, in
        some disabled code
        * buildbot/process/step_twisted2.py: add some missing imports
        * buildbot/twcompat.py (_deferGenerator): fix cut-and-paste error,
        this code used to live in twisted.internet.defer

2006-04-10  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/process/step.py (Mercurial): add Mercurial support
        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (Mercurial): same
        * buildbot/scripts/tryclient.py (MercurialExtractor): same
        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py (Mercurial): same, checkout over HTTP is
        not yet tested, but 'try' support *is* covered
        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (Mercurial): document it

        * buildbot/process/step.py (LoggedRemoteCommand.remoteUpdate): add
        some debugging messages (turned off)
        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py: improve debug messages

2006-04-07  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py (which): define our own which() in case
        we can't import twisted.python.procutils, because procutils doesn't
        exist in Twisted-1.3

        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (Interlocks): fix some typos, mention use
        of SlaveLocks for performance tests

        * docs/examples/twisted_master.cfg: update to match current usage

        * buildbot/changes/p4poller.py (P4Source): add new arguments:
        password, p4 binary, pollinterval, maximum history to check.
        Patch from an anonymous sf.net contributor, SF#1219384.
        * buildbot/process/step.py (P4Sync.__init__): add username,
        password, and client arguments.
        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (P4Sync): same

2006-04-05  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/process/factory.py (BuildFactory.addStep): new method
        to add steps to a BuildFactory. Use it instead of f.steps.append,
        and you can probably avoid using the s() convenience function.
        Patch from Neal Norwitz, sf.net #1412605.
        (other): update all factories to use addStep
        * buildbot/process/process_twisted.py: update all factories to use
        addStep.

2006-04-03  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py: modified find-the-VC-command logic to
        work under windows too. Adapted from a patch by Niklaus Giger,
        addresses SF#1463399.

        * buildbot/test/__init__.py: set $LANG to 'C', to insure that
        spawned commands emit parseable results in english and not some
        other language. Patch from Niklaus Giger, SF#1463395.

        * README (INSTALLATION): discourage users from running unit tests on
        a "network drive", patch from Niklaus Giger, SF#1463394.

2006-03-22  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * contrib/svn_buildbot.py: rearrange, add an easy-to-change
        function to turn a repository-relative pathname into a (branch,
        branch-relative-filename) tuple. Change this function to handle
        the branch naming policy used by your Subversion repository.
        Thanks to AllMyData.com for sponsoring this work.

2006-03-16  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/scripts/sample.cfg: add python-mode declaration for
        vim. Thanks to John Pye for the patch.

        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (Launching the daemons): fix @reboot job
        command line, mention the importance of running 'crontab' as the
        buildmaster/buildslave user. Thanks to John Pye for the catch.

2006-03-13  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/status/words.py (IRC): add an optional password=
        argument, which will be sent to Nickserv in an IDENTIFY message at
        login, to claim the nickname. freenode requires this before the
        bot can sent (or reply to) private messages. Thanks to Clement
        Stenac for the patch.
        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (IRC Bot): document it

        * buildbot/status/builder.py (LogFile.merge): don't write chunks
        larger than chunkSize. Fixes SF#1349253.
        * buildbot/test/test_status.py (Log.testLargeSummary): test it
        (Log.testConsumer): update to match new internal chunking behavior

2006-03-12  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py: remove the last use of waitForDeferred

        * buildbot/test/test_maildir.py (MaildirTest): rename the
        'timeout' method, as it collides with trial's internals

        * buildbot/scripts/runner.py: add 'buildbot restart' command
        (stop): don't sys.exit() out of here, otherwise restart can't work
        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (Shutdown): document it

        * buildbot/buildset.py (BuildSet.__init__): clean up docstring
        * buildbot/status/html.py (Waterfall.__init__): same
        * buildbot/process/builder.py (Builder.startBuild): same
        * buildbot/process/base.py (BuildRequest): same
        * buildbot/sourcestamp.py (SourceStamp): same
        * buildbot/scheduler.py (Nightly): same

        * buildbot/__init__.py (version): bump to 0.7.2+ while between
        releases
        * docs/buildbot.texinfo: same

2006-02-17  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/__init__.py (version): Releasing buildbot-0.7.2
        * docs/buildbot.texinfo: set version number to match
        * NEWS: update for 0.7.2

2006-02-16  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (Build Dependencies): add cindex tag

2006-02-09  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (How Different VC Systems Specify Sources):
        add text to explain per-build branch parameters
        * NEWS: mention --umask

2006-02-08  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/scripts/runner.py (Maker.makeSlaveTAC): remove unused
        method
        (SlaveOptions.optParameters): add --umask, to make it possible to
        make buildslave-generated files (including build products) be
        world-readable
        (slaveTAC): same
        * buildbot/slave/bot.py (BuildSlave.startService): same

2006-01-23  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/status/builder.py: urllib.quote() all URLs that include
        Builder names, so that builders can include characters like '/'
        and ' ' without completely breaking the resulting HTML. Thanks to
        Kevin Turner for the patch.
        * buildbot/status/html.py: same
        * buildbot/test/test_web.py (GetURL.testBuild): match changes

        * NEWS: update in preparation for upcoming release

2006-01-18  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * docs/examples/twisted_master.cfg: update to match the Twisted
        buildbot: remove python2.2, switch to exarkun's buildslaves,
        disable the .deb builder until we figure out how to build twisted
        .debs from SVN, add some ktrace debugging to the OS-X build
        process and remove the qt build, remove threadless builders,
        change freebsd builder to use landonf's buildslave.

2006-01-12  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/master.py (Manhole.__init__): let port= be a strports
        specification string, but handle a regular int for backwards
        compatibility. This allows "tcp:12345:interface=127.0.0.1" to be
        used in master.cfg to limit connections to just the local host.
        (BuildMaster.loadConfig): same for c['slavePortnum']
        * buildbot/scheduler.py (Try_Userpass.__init__): same
        * buildbot/status/client.py (PBListener.__init__): same
        * buildbot/status/html.py (Waterfall.__init__): same, for both
        http_port and distrib_port. Include backwards-compatibility checks
        so distrib_port can be a filename string and still mean unix:/foo
        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (Setting the slaveport): document it
        (Debug options): same
        (HTML Waterfall): same
        (PBListener): same
        (try): same
        * buildbot/test/test_config.py (ConfigTest): test it

        * buildbot/master.py (BuildMaster.loadConfig): wait for the
        slaveport's disownServiceParent deferred to fire before opening
        the new one. Fixes an annoying bug in the unit tests.

2006-01-03  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/master.py (BuildMaster): remove the .schedulers
        attribute, replacing it with an allSchedulers() method that looks
        for all IService children that implement IScheduler. Having only
        one parent/child relationship means fewer opportunities for bugs.
        (BuildMaster.allSchedulers): new method
        (BuildMaster.loadConfig_Schedulers): update to use allSchedulers,
        also fix ugly bug that caused any config-file reload to
        half-forget about the earlier Schedulers, causing an exception
        when a Change arrived and was handed to a half-connected
        Scheduler. The exception was in scheduler.py line 54ish:
          self.parent.submitBuildSet(bs)
          exceptions.AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute
          'submitBuildSet'
        (BuildMaster.addChange): update to use allSchedulers()

        * buildbot/scheduler.py (BaseScheduler.__implements__): fix this
        to work properly with twisted-1.3.0, where you must explicitly
        include the __implements__ from parent classes
        (BaseScheduler.__repr__): make it easier to distinguish distinct
        instances
        (BaseUpstreamScheduler.__implements__): same

        * buildbot/status/builder.py (Status.getSchedulers): update to
        use allSchedulers()
        * buildbot/test/test_run.py (Run.testMaster): same
        * buildbot/test/test_dependencies.py (Dependencies.findScheduler): same
        * buildbot/test/test_config.py (ConfigTest.testSchedulers): same,
        make sure Scheduler instances are left alone when an identical
        config file is reloaded
        (ConfigElements.testSchedulers): make sure Schedulers are properly
        comparable

        * Makefile (TRIALARGS): my local default Twisted version is now
        2.1.0, update the trial arguments accordingly

2005-12-22  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * docs/examples/twisted_master.cfg: merge changes from pyr: add
        new win32 builders

        * buildbot/scheduler.py (BaseScheduler.addChange): include a dummy
        addChange in the parent class, although I suspect this should be
        fixed better in the future.

2005-11-26  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/scheduler.py (AnyBranchScheduler.addChange): don't
        explode when branch==None, thanks to Kevin Turner for the catch
        * buildbot/test/test_scheduler.py (Scheduling.testAnyBranch): test
        it

        * buildbot/__init__.py (version): bump to 0.7.1+ while between
        releases
        * docs/buildbot.texinfo: same

2005-11-26  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/__init__.py (version): Releasing buildbot-0.7.1
        * docs/buildbot.texinfo: set version number to match

2005-11-26  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * NEWS: update for 0.7.1

        * buildbot/status/builder.py (BuildStepStatus.unsubscribe): make
        sure that unsubscribe works even if we never sent an ETA update.
        Also, don't explode on duplicate unsubscribe.
        (BuildStepStatus.addLog): make the convenience "return self"-added
        watcher automatically unsubscribe when the Step finishes.
        (BuildStatus.unsubscribe): same handle-duplicate-unsubscribe
        (BuildStatus.stepStarted): same auto-unsubscribe
        (BuilderStatus.buildStarted): same auto-unsubscribe

        * buildbot/interfaces.py (IStatusReceiver.buildStarted): document
        auto-unsubscribe
        (IStatusReceiver.stepStarted): same
        (IStatusReceiver.logStarted): same

        * buildbot/test/test_run.py (Status): move the Status test..
        * buildbot/test/test_status.py (Subscription): .. to here

2005-11-25  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * NEWS: more updates

        * buildbot/locks.py: fix the problem in which loading a master.cfg
        file that changes some Builders (but not all of them) can result
        in having multiple copies of the same Lock. Now, the real Locks
        are kept in a table inside the BotMaster, and the Builders/Steps
        use "LockIDs", which are still instances of MasterLock and
        SlaveLock. The real Locks are instances of the new RealMasterLock
        and RealSlaveLock classes.
        * buildbot/master.py (BotMaster.getLockByID): new method to
        convert LockIDs into real Locks.
        * buildbot/process/base.py (Build.startBuild): convert LockIDs
        into real Locks before building
        * buildbot/process/step.py (BuildStep.startStep): same
        * buildbot/test/test_locks.py (Locks.testLock1a): add a test which
        exercises the problem


        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (Scheduler Types): give a few hints about
        what Schedulers are available

        * buildbot/scheduler.py (Nightly): add new Scheduler based upon
        work by Dobes Vandermeer and hacked mercilessly by me. This offers
        'cron'-style build scheduling at certain times of day, week,
        month, or year.
        * buildbot/test/test_scheduler.py (Scheduling.testNightly): test it

        * buildbot/scheduler.py (Scheduler): change fileIsImportant
        handling: treat self.fileIsImportant more as an attribute that
        contains a callable than as a method. If the attribute is None,
        don't call it and assume all filenames are important. It is still
        possible to provide a fileIsImportant method in a subclass,
        however.
        (AnyBranchScheduler): handle fileIsImportant=None, previously it
        was broken
        * buildbot/test/test_scheduler.py (Scheduling.testAnyBranch2):
        test using AnyBranchScheduler with fileIsImportant=None

2005-11-24  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/test/test_config.py (StartService): don't claim a fixed
        port number, instead set slavePort=0 on the first pass, figure out
        what port was allocated, then switch to a config file that uses
        the allocated port.

        * buildbot/master.py (BuildMaster.loadConfig): close the old
        slaveport before opening the new one, because unit tests might
        replace slavePort=0 with the same allocated portnumber, and if we
        don't wait for the old port to close first, we get a "port already
        in use" error. There is a tiny race condition here, but the only
        threat is from other programs that bind (statically) to the same
        port number we happened to be allocated, and only if those
        programs use SO_REUSEADDR, and only if they get control in between
        reactor turns.

        * Makefile (TRIALARGS): update to handle Twisted > 2.1.0

        * buildbot/master.py (BuildMaster.loadConfig_Sources): remove all
        deleted ChangeSources before adding any new ones
        * buildbot/changes/freshcvs.py (FreshCVSSourceNewcred): fix
        compare_attrs, to make sure that a config-file reload does not
        unnecessarily replace an unmodified ChangeSource instance
        * buildbot/test/test_config.py (ConfigTest.testSources): update

        * buildbot/scheduler.py (AnyBranchScheduler): fix branches=[] to
        mean "don't build anything", and add a warning if it gets used
        because it isn't actually useful.

        * contrib/svn_buildbot.py: update example usage to match the port
        number that gets used by the PBChangeSource
        * buildbot/scripts/sample.cfg: add example of PBChangeSource

2005-11-22  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * NEWS: start collecting items for next release

        * buildbot/process/step.py (SVN.computeSourceRevision): assume
        revisions are strings
        (P4Sync.computeSourceRevision): same

        * buildbot/status/html.py (StatusResourceBuild.body): add a link
        to the Buildbot's overall status page
        (StatusResourceBuilder.body): same

2005-11-15  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/master.py (BuildMaster.loadConfig): serialize the
        config-file loading, specifically to make sure old StatusTargets
        are finished shutting down before new ones start up (thus
        resolving a bug in which changing the Waterfall object would fail
        because both new and old instances were claiming the same
        listening port). Also load new Schedulers after all the new
        Builders are set up, in case they fire off a new build right away.
        * buildbot/test/test_config.py (StartService): test it

        * buildbot/status/mail.py (MailNotifier.buildMessage): oops, add
        the branch name to the mail body

        * buildbot/changes/pb.py (PBChangeSource.compare_attrs): add this.
        Without it, a config-file reload fails to update an existing
        PBChangeSource.
        * buildbot/changes/freshcvs.py (FreshCVSSourceNewcred): add
        username/passwd to compare_attrs, for the same reason
        * buildbot/status/html.py (Waterfall): add favicon to
        compare_attrs, same reason

2005-11-05  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/scripts/tryclient.py (createJobfile): stringify the
        baserev before stuffing it in the jobfile. This resolves problems
        under SVN (and probably Arch) where revisions are expressed as
        numbers. I'm inclined to use string-based revisions everywhere in
        the future, but this fix should be safe for now. Thanks to Steven
        Walter for the patch.

        * buildbot/changes/changes.py (ChangeMaster.saveYourself): use
        binary mode when opening pickle files, to make windows work
        better. Thanks to Dobes Vandermeer for the catch.
        * buildbot/status/builder.py (BuildStatus.saveYourself): same
        (BuilderStatus.getBuildByNumber): same
        (Status.builderAdded): same
        * buildbot/master.py (BuildMaster.loadChanges): same

        * buildbot/util.py (Swappable): delete unused leftover code

        * buildbot/process/step.py (SVN): when building on a non-default
        branch, add the word "[branch]" to the VC step's description, so
        it is obvious that we're not building the usual stuff. Likewise,
        when we are building a specific revision, add the text "rNNN" to
        indicate what that revision number is. Thanks to Brad Hards and
        Nathaniel Smith for the suggestion.
        (Darcs.startVC): same
        (Arch.startVC): same
        (Bazaar.startVC): same

        * buildbot/process/factory.py (GNUAutoconf.__init__): fix a silly
        typo, caught by Mark Dillavou, closes SF#1216636.

        * buildbot/test/test_status.py (Log.TODO_testDuplicate): add notes
        about a test to add some day

        * docs/examples/twisted_master.cfg: update: bot1 can now handle
        the 'full-2.3' build, and the 'reactors' build is now run under
        python-2.4 because the buildslave no longer has gtk/etc bindings
        for earlier versions.

2005-11-03  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/interfaces.py (IBuilderControl.resubmitBuild): new
        method, takes an IBuildStatus and rebuilds it. It might make more
        sense to add this to IBuildControl instead, but that instance goes
        away completely once the build has finished, and resubmitting
        builds can take place weeks later.
        * buildbot/process/builder.py (BuilderControl.resubmitBuild): same
        * buildbot/status/html.py (StatusResourceBuild): also stash an
        IBuilderControl so we can use resubmitBuild.
        (StatusResourceBuild.body): render "resubmit" button if we can.
        Also add hrefs for each BuildStep
        (StatusResourceBuild.rebuild): add action for "resubmit" button
        (StatusResourceBuilder.getChild): give it an IBuilderControl

        * buildbot/status/builder.py (Status.getURLForThing): change the
        URL for BuildSteps to have a "step-" prefix, so the magic URLs
        that live as targets of buttons like "stop" and "rebuild" can't
        collide with them.
        * buildbot/status/builder.py (Status.getURLForThing): same
        * buildbot/status/html.py (StatusResourceBuild.getChild): same
        (StepBox.getBox): same
        * buildbot/test/test_web.py (GetURL): same
        (Logfile): same

        * buildbot/process/step.py (SVN.__init__): put svnurl/baseURL
        exclusivity checks after Source.__init__ upcall, so misspelled
        arguments will be reported more usefully
        (Darcs.__init__): same

2005-10-29  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * docs/examples/twisted_master.cfg: don't double-fire the 'quick'
        builder. Move the Try scheduler off to a separate port.

2005-10-27  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/clients/gtkPanes.py
        (TwoRowClient.remote_builderRemoved): disappearing Builders used
        to cause the app to crash, now they don't.

        * buildbot/clients/debug.py: display the buildmaster's location
        in the window's title bar

2005-10-26  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/status/mail.py (MailNotifier): urllib.escape the URLs
        in case they have spaces or whatnot. Patch from Dobes Vandermeer.
        * buildbot/test/test_status.py (MyStatus.getURLForThing): fix it

        * buildbot/status/html.py (td): put a single non-breaking space
        inside otherwise empty <td> elements, as a workaround for buggy
        browsers which would optimize them away (along with any associated
        styles, like the kind that create the waterfall grid borders).
        Patch from Frerich Raabe.

        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py (Trial): expose the trialMode=
        argv-list as an argument, defaulting to ["-to"], which is
        appropriate for the Trial that comes with Twisted-2.1.0 and
        earlier. The Trial in current Twisted SVN wants
        ["--reporter=bwverbose"] instead. Also expose trialArgs=, which
        defaults to an empty list.
        * buildbot/process/process_twisted.py (TwistedTrial.trialMode):
        match it, now that trialMode= is a list instead of a single string

        * buildbot/__init__.py (version): bump to 0.7.0+ while between
        releases
        * docs/buildbot.texinfo: same

2005-10-24  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/__init__.py (version): Releasing buildbot-0.7.0
        * docs/buildbot.texinfo: set version number to match

2005-10-24  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * README: update for 0.7.0
        * NEWS: same
        * docs/buildbot.texinfo: move the freshcvs stuff out of the README

        * buildbot/clients/debug.glade: add 'branch' box to fake-commit
        * buildbot/clients/debug.py (DebugWidget.do_commit): same. Don't
        send the branch= argument unless the user really provided one, to
        retain compatibility with older buildmasters that don't accept
        that argument.
        * buildbot/master.py (DebugPerspective.perspective_fakeChange):
        same

        * docs/buildbot.texinfo: update lots of stuff

        * buildbot/scripts/runner.py (sendchange): add a --branch argument
        to the 'buildbot sendchange' command
        * buildbot/clients/sendchange.py (Sender.send): same
        * buildbot/changes/pb.py (ChangePerspective): same
        * buildbot/test/test_changes.py (Sender.testSender): test it

        * buildbot/process/step.py (SVN.__init__): change 'base_url' and
        'default_branch' argument names to 'baseURL' and 'defaultBranch',
        for consistency with other BuildStep arguments that use camelCase.
        Well, at least more of them use camelCase (like flunkOnWarnings)
        than don't.. I wish I'd picked one style and stuck with it
        earlier. Annoying, but it's best done before the release, since
        these arguments didn't exist at all in 0.6.6 .
        (Darcs): same
        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py (SVN.testCheckout): same
        (Darcs.testPatch): same
        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (SVN): document the change
        (Darcs): same, add some build-on-branch docs
        * docs/examples/twisted_master.cfg: match change

        * buildbot/process/step.py (BuildStep): rename
        slaveVersionNewEnough to slaveVersionIsOlderThan, because that's
        how it is normally used.
        * buildbot/test/test_steps.py (Version.checkCompare): same

        * buildbot/process/step.py (CVS.startVC): refuse to build
        update/copy -style builds on a non-default branch with an old
        buildslave (<=0.6.6) that doesn't know how to do it properly. The
        concern is that it will do a VC 'update' in an existing tree when
        it is supposed to be switching branches (and therefore clobbering
        the tree to do a full checkout), thus building the wrong source.
        This used to be a warning, but I think the confusion it is likely
        to cause warrants making it an error.
        (SVN.startVC): same, also make mode=export on old slaves an error
        (Darcs.startVC): same
        (Git.startVC): improve error message for non-Git-enabled slaves
        (Arch.checkSlaveVersion): same. continue to emit a warning when a
        specific revision is built on a slave that doesn't pay attention
        to args['revision'], because for slowly-changing trees it will
        probably do the right thing, and because we have no way to tell
        whether we're asking it to build the most recent version or not.
        * buildbot/interfaces.py (BuildSlaveTooOldError): new exception

        * buildbot/scripts/runner.py (SlaveOptions.postOptions): assert
        that 'master' is in host:portnum format, to catch errors sooner

2005-10-23  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py (ProcessDocs.createSummary):
        when creating the list of warning messages, include the line
        immediately after each WARNING: line, since that's usually where
        the file and line number wind up.

        * docs/examples/twisted_master.cfg: OS-X slave now does QT, add a
        TryScheduler

        * NEWS: update

2005-10-22  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/status/html.py (HtmlResource): incorporate valid-HTML
        patch from Brad Hards
        * buildbot/status/classic.css: same
        * buildbot/test/test_web.py (Waterfall): match changes

        * buildbot/test/test_steps.py (BuildStep.setUp): set
        nextBuildNumber so the test passes
        * buildbot/test/test_status.py (MyBuilder): same

        * buildbot/status/html.py (StatusResourceBuild.body): revision
        might be numeric, so stringify it before html-escapifying it
        (CurrentBox.getBox): add a "waiting" state, and show a countdown
        timer for the upcoming build
        * buildbot/status/classic.css: add background-color attributes for
        offline/waiting/building classes

        * buildbot/status/builder.py (BuildStatus): derive from
        styles.Versioned, fix upgrade of .sourceStamp attribute. Also set
        the default (i.e. unknown) .slavename to "???" instead of None,
        since even unknown slavenames need to be printed eventually.
        (BuilderStatus): also derive from styles.Versioned . More
        importantly, determine .nextBuildNumber at creation/unpickling
        time by scanning the directory of saved BuildStatus instances and
        choosing one larger than the highest-numbered one found. This
        should fix the problem where random errors during upgrades cause
        the buildbot to forget about earlier builds. .nextBuildNumber is
        no longer stored in the pickle.
        (Status.builderAdded): if we can't unpickle the BuilderStatus,
        at least log the error. Also call Builder.determineNextBuildNumber
        once the basedir is set.

        * buildbot/master.py (BuildMaster.loadChanges): do
        styles.doUpgrade afterwards, in case I decide to make Changes
        derived from styles.Versioned some day and forget to make this
        change later.


        * buildbot/test/test_runner.py (Options.testForceOptions): skip
        when running under older pythons (<2.3) in which the shlex module
        doesn't have a 'split' function.

        * buildbot/process/step.py (ShellCommand.start): make
        errorMessages= be a list of strings to stuff in the log before the
        command actually starts. This makes it easier to flag multiple
        warning messages, e.g. when the Source steps have to deal with an
        old buildslave.
        (CVS.startVC): handle slaves that don't handle multiple branches
        by switching into 'clobber' mode
        (SVN.startVC): same. Also reject branches without base_url
        (Darcs.startVC): same. Also reject revision= in older slaves
        (Arch.checkSlaveVersion): same (just the multiple-branches stuff)
        (Bazaar.startVC): same, and test for baz separately than for arch

        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (cvs_ver): document new features

        * buildbot/process/step.py (BuildStep.slaveVersion): document it
        (BuildStep.slaveVersionNewEnough): more useful utility method
        * buildbot/test/test_steps.py (Version): start testing it

        * buildbot/status/words.py (IrcStatusBot.command_FORCE): note that
        the 'force' command requires python2.3, for the shlex.split method

        * docs/examples/twisted_master.cfg: remove old freshcvs stuff,
        since we don't use it anymore. The Twisted buildbot uses a
        PBChangeSource now.

2005-10-21  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/process/process_twisted.py: rework all BuildFactory
        classes to take a 'source' step as an argument, instead of
        building up the SVN instance in the factory.
        * docs/examples/twisted_master.cfg: enable build-on-branch by
        providing a base_url and default_branch

        * buildbot/status/words.py (IrcStatusBot.command_FORCE): add
        control over --branch and --revision, not that they are always
        legal to provide
        * buildbot/status/html.py (StatusResourceBuilder.force): same
        (StatusResourceBuild.body): display SourceStamp components

        * buildbot/scripts/runner.py (ForceOptions): option parser for the
        IRC 'force' command, so it can be shared with an eventual
        command-line-tool 'buildbot force' mode.
        * buildbot/test/test_runner.py (Options.testForceOptions): test it

2005-10-20  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/status/mail.py (MailNotifier.buildMessage): reformat

        * docs/examples/twisted_master.cfg: update to use Schedulers

        * buildbot/scripts/sample.cfg: update with Schedulers

        * buildbot/interfaces.py (IBuilderControl.requestBuildSoon): new
        method specifically for use by HTML "force build" button and the
        IRC "force" command. Raises an immediate error if there are no
        slaves available.
        (IBuilderControl.requestBuild): make this just submit a build, not
        try to check for existing slaves or set up any when-finished
        Deferreds or anything.
        * buildbot/process/builder.py (BuilderControl): same
        * buildbot/status/html.py (StatusResourceBuilder.force): same
        * buildbot/status/words.py (IrcStatusBot.command_FORCE): same
        * buildbot/test/test_slaves.py: same
        * buildbot/test/test_web.py: same

2005-10-19  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * docs/examples/twisted_master.cfg: re-sync with reality: bring
        back python2.2 tests, turn off OS-X threadedselect-reactor tests

2005-10-18  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/status/html.py: provide 'status' argument to most
        StatusResourceFOO objects
        (StatusResourceBuild.body): href-ify the Builder name, add "Steps
        and Logfiles" section to make the Build page into a more-or-less
        comprehensive source of status information about the build

        * buildbot/status/mail.py (MailNotifier): include the Build's URL
        * buildbot/status/words.py (IrcStatusBot.buildFinished): same

2005-10-17  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/process/process_twisted.py (TwistedTrial): update Trial
        arguments to accomodate Twisted >=2.1.0 . I will have to figure
        out what to do about other projects: the correct options for
        recent Twisteds will not work for older ones.

2005-10-15  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/status/builder.py (Status.getURLForThing): add method
        to provide a URL for arbitrary IStatusFoo objects. The idea is to
        use this in email/IRC status clients to make them more useful, by
        providing the end user with hints on where to learn more about the
        object being reported on.
        * buildbot/test/test_web.py (GetURL): tests for it

2005-10-14  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/test/test_config.py (ConfigTest._testSources_1): oops,
        fix bug resulting from deferredResult changes

2005-10-13  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/test/test_changes.py: remove use of deferredResult
        * buildbot/test/test_config.py: same
        * buildbot/test/test_control.py: same
        * buildbot/test/test_status.py: same
        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py: this is the only remaining use, since
        it gets used at module level. This needs to be replaced by some
        sort of class-level run-once routine.

        * buildbot/status/words.py (IrcStatusBot.command_WATCH): fix typo

        * lots: implement multiple slaves per Builder, which means multiple
        current builds per Builder. Some highlights:
        * buildbot/interfaces.py (IBuilderStatus.getState): return a tuple
        of (state,currentBuilds) instead of (state,currentBuild)
        (IBuilderStatus.getCurrentBuilds): replace getCurrentBuild()
        (IBuildStatus.getSlavename): new method, so you can tell which
        slave got used. This only gets set when the build completes.
        (IBuildRequestStatus.getBuilds): new method

        * buildbot/process/builder.py (SlaveBuilder): add a .state
        attribute to track things like ATTACHING and IDLE and BUILDING,
        instead of..
        (Builder): .. the .slaves attribute here, which has been turned
        into a simple list of available slaves. Added a separate
        attaching_slaves list to track ones that are not yet ready for
        builds.
        (Builder.fireTestEvent): put off the test-event callback for a
        reactor turn, to make tests a bit more consistent.
        (Ping): cleaned up the slaveping a bit, now it disconnects if the
        ping fails due to an exception. This needs work, I'm worried that
        a code error could lead to a constantly re-connecting slave.
        Especially since I'm trying to move to a distinct remote_ping
        method, separate from the remote_print that we currently use.
        (BuilderControl.requestBuild): return a convenience Deferred that
        provides an IBuildStatus when the build finishes.
        (BuilderControl.ping): ping all connected slaves, only return True
        if they all respond.

        * buildbot/slave/bot.py (BuildSlave.stopService): stop trying to
        reconnect when we shut down.

        * buildbot/status/builder.py: implement new methods, convert
        one-build-at-a-time methods to handle multiple builds
        * buildbot/status/*.py: do the same in all default status targets
        * buildbot/status/html.py: report the build's slavename in the
        per-Build page, report all buildslaves on the per-Builder page

        * buildbot/test/test_run.py: update/create tests
        * buildbot/test/test_slaves.py: same
        * buildbot/test/test_scheduler.py: remove stale test

        * docs/buildbot.texinfo: document the new builder-specification
        'slavenames' parameter

2005-10-12  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/buildset.py (BuildSet): fix bug where BuildSet did not
        report failure correctly, causing Dependent builds to run when
        they shouldn't have.
        * buildbot/status/builder.py (BuildSetStatus): same
        * buildbot/test/test_buildreq.py (Set.testBuildSet): verify it
        (Set.testSuccess): test the both-pass case too
        * buildbot/test/test_dependencies.py (Dependencies.testRun_Fail):
        fix this test: it was ending too early, masking the failure before
        (Logger): specialized StatusReceiver to make sure the dependent
        builds aren't even started, much less completed.

2005-10-07  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/slave/bot.py (SlaveBuilder.activity): survive
        bot.SlaveBuilder being disowned in the middle of a build

        * buildbot/status/base.py (StatusReceiverMultiService): oops, make
        this inherit from StatusReceiver. Also upcall in __init__. This
        fixes the embarrasing crash when the new buildSetSubmitted method
        is invoked and Waterfall/etc don't implement their own.
        * buildbot/test/test_run.py: add a TODO note about a test to catch
        just this sort of thing.

        * buildbot/process/builder.py (Builder.attached): remove the
        already-attached warning, this situation is normal. Add some
        comments explaining it.

2005-10-02  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/changes/maildir.py (Maildir.start): Tolerate
        OverflowError when setting up dnotify, because some 64-bit systems
        have problems with signed-vs-unsigned constants and trip up on the
        DN_MULTISHOT flag. Patch from Brad Hards.

2005-09-06  Fred Drake  <fdrake@users.sourceforge.net>

        * buildbot/process/step.py (BuildStep, ShellCommand): Add
        progressMetrics, description, descriptionDone to the 'parms' list,
        and make use the 'parms' list from the implementation class
        instead of only BuildStep to initialize the parameters.  This
        allows buildbot.process.factory.s() to initialize all the parms,
        not just those defined in directly by BuildStep.

2005-09-03  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * NEWS: start adding items for the next release

        * docs/examples/twisted_master.cfg: (sync with reality) turn off
        python2.2 tests, change 'Quick' builder to only use python2.3

2005-09-02  Fred Drake  <fdrake@users.sourceforge.net>

        * buildbot/status/html.py (StatusResourceBuilder.body): only show
        the "Ping Builder" button if the build control is available; the
        user sees an exception otherwise

        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (PBChangeSource): fix a typo

2005-09-01  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/interfaces.py (IBuilderStatus.getState): update
        signature, point out that 'build' can be None
        (IBuildStatus.getETA): point out ETA can be none

        * buildbot/status/html.py (CurrentBox.getBox): tolerate build/ETA
        being None
        * buildbot/status/words.py (IrcStatusBot.emit_status): same

2005-08-31  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/status/base.py (StatusReceiver.builderChangedState):
        update to match correct signature: removed 'eta' argument
        * buildbot/status/mail.py (MailNotifier.builderChangedState): same

2005-08-30  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/status/builder.py (LogFile): remove the assertion that
        blows up when you try to overwrite an existing logfile, instead
        just emit a warning. This case gets hit when the buildmaster is
        killed and doesn't get a chance to write out the serialized
        BuilderStatus object, so the .nextBuildNumber attribute gets out
        of date.

        * buildbot/scripts/runner.py (sendchange): add --revision_file to
        the 'buildbot sendchange' arguments, for the Darcs context file
        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (sendchange): document it

        * buildbot/status/html.py: add pending/upcoming builds to CurrentBox
        * buildbot/interfaces.py (IScheduler.getPendingBuildTimes): new method
        (IStatus.getSchedulers): new method
        * buildbot/status/builder.py (BuilderStatus): track pendingBuilds
        (Status.getSchedulers): implement
        * buildbot/process/builder.py (Builder): maintain
        BuilderStatus.pendingBuilds
        * buildbot/scheduler.py (Scheduler.getPendingBuildTimes): new method
        (TryBase.addChange): Try schedulers should ignore Changes

        * buildbot/scripts/tryclient.py (getTopdir): implement getTopdir
        for 'try' on CVS/SVN
        * buildbot/test/test_runner.py (Try.testGetTopdir): test case

        * buildbot/scripts/tryclient.py (Try): make jobdir-style 'try'
        report status properly.
        (Try.createJob): implement unique buildset IDs

        * buildbot/status/client.py (StatusClientPerspective): add a
        perspective_getBuildSets method for the benefit of jobdir-style
        'try'.
        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (try): more docs
        * buildbot/test/test_scheduler.py (Scheduling.testGetBuildSets):
        new test case

2005-08-18  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/scripts/tryclient.py (Try): make 'try' status reporting
        actually work. It's functional but still kind of clunky. Also, it
        only works with the pb-style.. needs to be made to work with the
        jobdir-style too.

        * buildbot/status/client.py (RemoteBuildSet): new class
        (RemoteBuildRequest): same
        (RemoteBuild.remote_waitUntilFinished): return the RemoteBuild
        object, not the internal BuildStatus object.
        (RemoteBuild.remote_subscribe): new method to subscribe to builds
        outside of the usual buildStarted() return value.
        (BuildSubscriber): support class for RemoteBuild.remote_subscribe

        * buildbot/scheduler.py (Try_Jobdir): convey buildsetID properly
        (Try_Userpass_Perspective.perspective_try): return a remotely
        usable BuildSetStatus object

        * buildbot/interfaces.py (IBuildStatus): remove obsolete
        isStarted()/waitUntilStarted()

2005-08-16  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/status/builder.py: implement IBuildSetStatus and
        IBuildRequestStatus, wire them into place.
        * buildbot/buildset.py: same. Add ID, move wait-until-finished
        methods into the BuildSetStatus object.
        * buildbot/interfaces.py: same
        (IStatus.getBuildSets): new method to get pending BuildSets
        (IStatusReceiver.buildsetSubmitted): new method which hears about
        new BuildSets
        * buildbot/master.py (BuildMaster.submitBuildSet): same
        * buildbot/process/base.py (BuildRequest): same, replace
        waitUntilStarted with subscribe/unsubscribe
        * buildbot/process/builder.py (BuilderControl.forceBuild): use
        subscribe instead of waitUntilStarted
        * buildbot/status/base.py (StatusReceiver.buildsetSubmitted): stub
        for new method
        * buildbot/status/client.py (StatusClientPerspective.builderRemoved): 
        same
        * buildbot/test/test_buildreq.py: update for new code
        * buildbot/test/test_control.py (Force.testRequest): same


        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (Darcs.doVCFull): fix get-revision
        for Darcs to not use the tempfile module, so it works under
        python-2.2 too. We really didn't need the full cleverness of that
        module, since the slave has exclusive control of its own builddir.

2005-08-15  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/scripts/tryclient.py (CVSExtractor): implement 'try'
        for CVS trees. It doesn't work for non-trunk branches,
        unfortunately.
        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py (CVS.testTry): test it, but skip the
        branch test

        * Makefile: make it easier to test against python2.2

        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py (VCBase.tearDown): provide for
        tearDown2, so things like Arch can unregister archives as they're
        shutting down. The previous subclass-override-tearDown technique
        resulted in a nested maybeWait() and test failures under
        Twisted-1.3.0

        * buildbot/scripts/tryclient.py (getSourceStamp): extract branches
        where we can (Arch), add a branch= argument to set the branch used
        when we can't
        (BazExtractor): extract the branch too
        (TlaExtractor): same
        * buildbot/scripts/runner.py (TryOptions): add --branch
        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (try): document --branch/try_branch

        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (Darcs): implement get-revision for
        Darcs, so that 'try' will work. This requires the tempfile module
        from python-2.3 .

        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py: rewrite tests, getting better coverage
        of revisions, branches, and 'try' in the process.

2005-08-11  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/master.py (DebugPerspective.perspective_pokeIRC): fix
        this, it got broken at some point in the last few releases
        * buildbot/status/words.py (IrcBuildRequest): reply was broken
        (IrcStatusBot.emit_status): handle new IBuilderStatus.getState,
        specifically the removal of ETA information from the tuple

        * buildbot/locks.py: use %d for id() instead of %x, avoid a silly
        warning message

        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (try): document both --builder and
        'try_builders' in .buildbot/options
        * buildbot/scripts/runner.py (TryOptions): add --builder,
        accumulate the values into opts['builders']
        * buildbot/scripts/tryclient.py (Try.__init__): set builders
        * buildbot/test/test_runner.py (Try): add some quick tests to make
        sure 'buildbot try --options' and .buildbot/options get parsed
        * buildbot/test/test_scheduler.py (Scheduling.testTryUserpass):
        use --builder control

        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (try): add --port argument to PB style

        * buildbot/scripts/tryclient.py (SourceStampExtractor): return an
        actual SourceStamp. Still need to extract a branch name, somehow.
        (Try): finish implementing the try client side, still need a UI
        for specifying which builders to use
        (Try.getopt): factor our options/config-file reading
        * buildbot/test/test_scheduler.py (Scheduling.testTryUserpass):
        test it
        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py: match SourceStampExtractor change

        * buildbot/scripts/runner.py (Options.opt_verbose): --verbose
        causes the twisted log to be sent to stderr

        * buildbot/scheduler.py (Try_Userpass): implement the PB style

2005-08-10  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/scripts/runner.py: Add 'buildbot try' command, jobdir
        style is 90% done, still missing status reporting or waiting for
        the buildsets to finish, and it is completely untested.

        * buildbot/trybuild.py: delete file, move contents to ..
        * buildbot/scripts/tryclient.py (getSourceStamp): .. here
        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py: match the move

        * buildbot/scheduler.py (Try_Jobdir): implement the jobdir style
        of the TryScheduler, no buildsetID or status-tracking support yet
        * buildbot/test/test_scheduler.py (Scheduling.testTryJobdir): test it

        * buildbot/changes/maildir.py (Maildir.setBasedir): make it
        possible to set the basedir after __init__ time, so it is easier
        to use as a Service-child of the BuildMaster instance

        * buildbot/changes/maildirtwisted.py (MaildirService): make a form
        that delivers messages to its Service parent instead of requiring
        a subclass to be useful. This turns out to be much easier to build
        unit tests around.

        * buildbot/scripts/tryclient.py (createJob): utility code to
        create jobfiles, will eventually be used by 'buildbot try'

2005-08-08  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (try): add docs on the
        as-yet-unimplemented Try scheduler

        * buildbot/test/test_buildreq.py: move Scheduling tests out to ..
        * buildbot/test/test_scheduler.py: .. here
        (Scheduling.testTryJobdir): add placeholder test for 'try'

        * buildbot/test/test_status.py (Log.testMerge3): update to match new
        addEntry merging (>=chunkSize) behavior
        (Log.testConsumer): update to handle new callLater(0) behavior

        * buildbot/test/test_web.py: rearrange tests a bit, add test for
        both the MAX_LENGTH bugfix and the resumeProducing hang.

        * buildbot/status/builder.py (LogFileProducer.resumeProducing):
        put off the actual resumeProducing for a moment with
        reactor.callLater(0). This works around a twisted-1.3.0 bug which
        causes large logfiles to hang midway through.

        * buildbot/process/step.py (BuildStep.addCompleteLog): break the
        logfile up into chunks, both to avoid NetstringReceiver.MAX_LENGTH
        and to improve memory usage when streaming the file out to a web
        browser.
        * buildbot/status/builder.py (LogFile.addEntry): change > to >= to
        make this work cleanly

2005-08-03  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/trybuild.py: new file for 'try' utilities
        (getSourceStamp): run in a tree, find out the baserev+patch
        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py (VCBase.do_getpatch): test it,
        implemented for SVN and Darcs, still working on Arch. I don't know
        how to make CVS work yet.

        * docs/buildbot.texinfo: document the 'buildbot' command-line
        tool, including the not-yet-implemented 'try' feature, and the
        in-flux .buildbot/ options directory.

2005-07-20  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/locks.py: added temporary id() numbers to Lock
        descriptions, to track down a not-really-sharing-the-Lock bug

        * buildbot/test/runutils.py: must import errno, cut-and-paste bug

        * buildbot/test/test_slavecommand.py (ShellBase.failUnlessIn):
        needed for python2.2 compatibility
        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py: python2.2 compatibility: generators
        are from the __future__

2005-07-19  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/master.py (BuildMaster.loadConfig): give a better error
        message when schedulers use unknown builders

        * buildbot/process/builder.py (Builder.compareToSetup): make sure
        SlaveLock('name') and MasterLock('name') are distinct

        * buildbot/master.py (BuildMaster.loadConfig): oops, sanity-check
        c['schedulers'] in such a way that we can actually accept
        Dependent instances
        * buildbot/test/test_config.py: check it

        * buildbot/scheduler.py (Dependent.listBuilderNames): oops, add
        utility method to *all* the Schedulers
        (Periodic.listBuilderNames): same

        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (Interlocks): update chapter to match
        reality

        * buildbot/master.py (BuildMaster.loadConfig): Add sanity checks
        to make sure that c['sources'], c['schedulers'], and c['status']
        are all lists of the appropriate objects, and that the Schedulers
        all point to real Builders
        * buildbot/interfaces.py (IScheduler, IUpstreamScheduler): add
        'listBuilderNames' utility method to support this
        * buildbot/scheduler.py: implement the utility method
        * buildbot/test/test_config.py (ConfigTest.testSchedulers): test it

        * docs/buildbot.texinfo: add some @cindex entries

        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py (Arch.createRepository): set the tla ID
        if it wasn't already set: most tla commands will fail unless one
        has been set.
        (Arch.createRepository): and disable bazaar's revision cache, since
        they cause test failures (the multiple repositories we create all
        interfere with each other through the cache)

        * buildbot/test/test_web.py (WebTest): remove use of deferredResult,
        bring it properly up to date with twisted-2.0 test guidelines

        * buildbot/master.py (BuildMaster): remove references to old
        'interlock' module, this caused a bunch of post-merge test
        failures
        * buildbot/test/test_config.py: same
        * buildbot/process/base.py (Build): same

        * buildbot/test/test_slaves.py: stubs for new test case

        * buildbot/scheduler.py: add test-case-name tag
        * buildbot/test/test_buildreq.py: same

        * buildbot/slave/bot.py (SlaveBuilder.__init__): remove some
        unnecessary init code
        (Bot.remote_setBuilderList): match it

        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (@settitle): don't claim version 1.0

        * buildbot/changes/mail.py (parseSyncmail): update comment

        * buildbot/test/test_slavecommand.py: disable Shell tests on
        platforms that don't suport IReactorProcess

        * buildbot/status/builder.py (LogFile): remove the 't' mode from
        all places where we open logfiles. It causes OS-X to open the file
        in some weird mode that that prevents us from mixing reads and
        writes to the same filehandle, which we depend upon to implement
        _generateChunks properly. This change doesn't appear to break
        win32, on which "b" and "t" are treated differently but a missing
        flag seems to be interpreted as "t".

2005-07-18  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (ShellCommand): overhaul
        error-handling code, to try and make timeout/interrupt work
        properly, and make win32 happier
        * buildbot/test/test_slavecommand.py: clean up, stop using
        reactor.iterate, add tests for timeout and interrupt
        * buildbot/test/sleep.py: utility for a new timeout test

        * buildbot/twcompat.py: copy over twisted 1.3/2.0 compatibility
        code from the local-usebranches branch

2005-07-17  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/process/process_twisted.py
        (TwistedReactorsBuildFactory): change the treeStableTimer to 5
        minutes, to match the other twisted BuildFactories, and don't
        excuse failures in c/qt/win32 reactors any more.

        * docs/examples/twisted_master.cfg: turn off the 'threadless' and
        'freebsd' builders, since the buildslaves have been unavailable
        for quite a while

2005-07-13  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py (VCBase.do_branch): test the new
        build-on-branch feature

        * buildbot/process/step.py (Darcs.__init__): add base_url and
        default_branch arguments, just like SVN
        (Arch.__init__): note that the version= argument is really the
        default branch name

        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (SourceBase): keep track of the
        repository+branch that was used for the last checkout in
        SRCDIR/.buildbot-sourcedata . If the contents of this file do not
        match, we clobber the directory and perform a fresh checkout
        rather than trying to do an in-place update. This should protect
        us against trying to get to branch B by doing an update in a tree
        obtained from branch A.
        (CVS.setup): add CVS-specific sourcedata: root, module, and branch
        (SVN.setup): same, just the svnurl
        (Darcs.setup): same, just the repourl
        (Arch.setup): same, arch coordinates (url), version, and
        buildconfig. Also pull the buildconfig from the args dictionary,
        which we weren't doing before, so the build-config was effectively
        disabled.
        (Arch.sourcedirIsUpdateable): don't try to update when we're
        moving to a specific revision: arch can't go backwards, so it is
        safer to just clobber the tree and checkout a new one at the
        desired revision.
        (Bazaar.setup): same sourcedata as Arch

        * buildbot/test/test_dependencies.py (Dependencies.testRun_Fail):
        use maybeWait, to work with twisted-1.3.0 and twcompat
        (Dependencies.testRun_Pass): same

        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py: rearrange, cleanup

        * buildbot/twcompat.py: add defer.waitForDeferred and
        utils.getProcessOutputAndValue, so test_vc.py (which uses them)
        can work under twisted-1.3.0 .

        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py: rewrite. The sample repositories are
        now created at setUp time. This increases the runtime of the test
        suite considerably (from 91 seconds to 151), but it removes the
        need for an offline tarball, which should solve a problem I've
        seen where the test host has a different version of svn than the
        tarball build host. The new code also validates that mode=update
        really picks up recent commits. This approach will also make it
        easier to test out branches, because the code which creates the VC
        branches is next to the code which uses them. It will also make it
        possible to test some change-notification hooks, by actually
        performing a VC commit and watching to see the ChangeSource get
        notified.

2005-07-12  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (SVN): add branches example
        * docs/Makefile (buildbot.ps): add target for postscript manual

        * buildbot/test/test_dependencies.py: s/test_interlocks/test_locks/ 
        * buildbot/test/test_locks.py: same

        * buildbot/process/step.py (Darcs): comment about default branches

        * buildbot/master.py (BuildMaster.loadConfig): don't look for
        c['interlocks'] in the config file, complain if it is present.
        Scan all locks in c['builders'] to make sure the Locks they use
        are uniquely named.
        * buildbot/test/test_config.py: remove old c['interlocks'] test,
        add some tests to check for non-uniquely-named Locks
        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py (Patch.doPatch): fix factory.steps,
        since the unique-Lock validation code requires it now

        * buildbot/locks.py: fix test-case-name

        * buildbot/interlock.py: remove old file

2005-07-11  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/test/test_interlock.py: rename to..
        * buildbot/test/test_locks.py: .. something shorter

        * buildbot/slave/bot.py (BuildSlave.stopService): newer Twisted
        versions (after 2.0.1) changed internet.TCPClient to shut down the
        connection in stopService. Change the code to handle this
        gracefully.

        * buildbot/process/base.py (Build): handle whole-Build locks
        * buildbot/process/builder.py (Builder.compareToSetup): same
        * buildbot/test/test_interlock.py: make tests work

        * buildbot/process/step.py (BuildStep.startStep): complain if a
        Step tries to claim a lock that's owned by its own Build
        (BuildStep.releaseLocks): typo

        * buildbot/locks.py (MasterLock): use ComparableMixin so config
        file reloads don't replace unchanged Builders
        (SlaveLock): same
        * buildbot/test/test_config.py (ConfigTest.testInterlocks):
        rewrite to cover new Locks instead of old c['interlocks']
        * buildbot/test/runutils.py (RunMixin.connectSlaves): remember
        slave2 too


        * buildbot/test/test_dependencies.py (Dependencies.setUp): always
        start the master and connect the buildslave

        * buildbot/process/step.py (FailingDummy.done): finish with a
        FAILURE status rather than raising an exception

        * buildbot/process/base.py (BuildRequest.mergeReasons): don't try to
        stringify a BuildRequest.reason that is None

        * buildbot/scheduler.py (BaseUpstreamScheduler.buildSetFinished):
        minor fix
        * buildbot/status/builder.py (BuildSetStatus): implement enough to
        allow scheduler.Dependent to work
        * buildbot/buildset.py (BuildSet): set .reason and .results

        * buildbot/test/test_interlock.py (Locks.setUp): connect both
        slaves, to make the test stop hanging. It still fails, of course,
        because I haven't even started to implement Locks.

        * buildbot/test/runutils.py (RunMixin.connectSlaves): new utility

        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (Build-Dependencies): redesign the feature
        * buildbot/interfaces.py (IUpstreamScheduler): new Interface
        * buildbot/scheduler.py (BaseScheduler): factor out common stuff
        (Dependent): new class for downstream build dependencies
        * buildbot/test/test_dependencies.py: tests (still failing)

        * buildbot/buildset.py (BuildSet.waitUntilSuccess): minor notes

2005-07-07  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/test/runutils.py (RunMixin): factored this class out..
        * buildbot/test/test_run.py: .. from here
        * buildbot/test/test_interlock.py: removed old c['interlock'] tests,
        added new buildbot.locks tests (which all hang right now)
        * buildbot/locks.py (SlaveLock, MasterLock): implement Locks
        * buildbot/process/step.py: claim/release per-BuildStep locks

        * docs/Makefile: add 'buildbot.html' target

        * buildbot/process/step.py (CVS.__init__): allow branch=None to be
        interpreted as "HEAD", so that all VC steps can accept branch=None
        and have it mean the "default branch".

        * docs/buildbot.texinfo: add Schedulers, Dependencies, and Locks

2005-07-07  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * docs/examples/twisted_master.cfg: update to match current usage

        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (System Architecture): comment out the
        image, it doesn't exist yet and just screws up the HTML manual.

2005-07-05  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * debian/.cvsignore: oops, missed one. Removing leftover file.

2005-06-17  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py (VCSupport.__init__): svn --version
        changed its output in 1.2.0, don't mistakenly think that the
        subversion we find isn't capable of supporting our tests.

        * debian/*: remove the debian/ directory and its contents, to make
        life easier for the proper Debian maintainer
        * MANIFEST.in: same
        * Makefile (release): same

2005-06-07  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * everything: create a distinct SourceStamp class to replace the
        ungainly 4-tuple, let it handle merging instead of BuildRequest.
        Changed the signature of Source.startVC to include the revision
        information (instead of passing it through self.args). Implement
        branches for SVN (now only Darcs/Git is missing support). Add more
        Scheduler tests.

2005-06-06  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * everything: rearrange build scheduling. Create a new Scheduler
        object (configured in c['schedulers'], which submit BuildSets to a
        set of Builders. Builders can now use multiple slaves. Builds can
        be run on alternate branches, either requested manually or driven
        by changes. This changed some of the Status classes. Interlocks
        are out of service until they've been properly split into Locks
        and Dependencies. treeStableTimer, isFileImportant, and
        periodicBuild have all been moved from the Builder to the
        Scheduler.
        (BuilderStatus.currentBigState): removed the 'waiting' and
        'interlocked' states, removed the 'ETA' argument.

2005-05-24  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/pbutil.py (ReconnectingPBClientFactory): Twisted-1.3
        erroneously abandons the connection (in clientConnectionFailed)
        for non-UserErrors, which means that if we lose the connection due
        to a network problem or a timeout, we'll never try to reconnect.
        Fix this by not upcalling to the buggy parent method. Note:
        twisted-2.0 fixes this, but the function only has 3 lines so it
        makes more sense to copy it than to try and detect the buggyness
        of the parent class. Fixes SF#1207588.

        * buildbot/changes/changes.py (Change.branch): doh! Add a
        class-level attribute to accomodate old Change instances that were
        pickled before 0.6.5 (where .branch was added for new Changes).
        This fixes the exception that occurs when you try to look at an
        old Change (through asHTML).

        * buildbot/__init__.py (version): bump to 0.6.6+ while between
        releases

2005-05-23  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/__init__.py (version): release 0.6.6

2005-05-23  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * NEWS: update for 0.6.6 release
        * debian/changelog: same

        * buildbot/scripts/runner.py (start): put the basedir in sys.path
        before starting: this was done by twistd back when we spawned it,
        now that we're importing the pieces and running them in the
        current process, we have to do it ourselves. This allows
        master.cfg to import files from the same directory without
        explicitly manipulating PYTHONPATH. Thanks to Thomas Vander
        Stichele for the catch.
        (Options.opt_version): Add a --version command (actually, just make
        the existing --version command emit Buildbot's version too)

        * buildbot/status/builder.py (HTMLLogFile.upgrade): oops! second
        fix to make this behave like other LogFiles, this time to handle
        existing LogFiles on disk. (add the missing .upgrade method)
        * buildbot/test/test_status.py (Log.testHTMLUpgrade): test it

2005-05-21  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/test/test_runner.py (Create.testMaster): match the
        rawstring change in runner.py:masterTAC

        * buildbot/test/test_config.py (ConfigTest.testIRC): skip unless
        TwistedWords is installed
        * buildbot/test/test_status.py: same, with TwistedMail

        * buildbot/master.py: remove old IRC/Waterfall imports (used by
        some old, deprecated, and removed config keys). This should enable
        you to use the base buildbot functionality with Twisted-2.0.0 when
        you don't also have TwistedWeb and TwistedWords installed

2005-05-20  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/scripts/runner.py (run): call sendchange(), not
        do_sendchange(): thus 'buildbot sendchange' was broken in 0.6.5
        (run): call stop("HUP"), not "-HUP", 'buildbot stop' was broken.
        (stop): don't wait for process to die when sending SIGHUP
        (masterTAC): use a rawstring for basedir=, otherwise '\' in the
        directory name gets interpreted, which you don't want
        (slaveTAC): same

        * buildbot/__init__.py (version): bump to 0.6.5+ while between
        releases

2005-05-18  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/__init__.py (version): Releasing buildbot-0.6.5

2005-05-18  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * README: update for 0.6.5
        * debian/changelog: same

        * buildbot/changes/changes.py: rename tag= to branch=, since
        that's how we're using it, and my design for the upcoming "build a
        specific branch" feature wants it. also, tag= was too CVS-centric
        * buildbot/changes/mail.py (parseSyncmail): same
        * buildbot/process/base.py (Build.isBranchImportant): same
        * buildbot/test/test_mailparse.py (Test3.testMsgS4): same
        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (Attributes of Changes): same

        * NEWS: update tag=, update for upcoming release

2005-05-17  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/scripts/runner.py (stop): actually poll once per
        second, instead of re-killing the poor daemon once per second.
        Sleep briefly (0.1s) before the first poll, since there's a good
        chance we can avoid waiting the full second if the daemon shuts
        down quickly. Also remove the sys.exit() at the end.
        (start): remove the unneighborly sys.exit()

        * Makefile: improve permission-setting to not kick Arch so badly

        * buildbot/scripts/runner.py (SlaveOptions.optParameters): set a
        default --keepalive=600, since it doesn't hurt very much, and it's
        a hassle to discover that you need it.
        * buildbot/test/test_runner.py (Create.testSlave): test it

        * buildbot/status/words.py (IrcStatusBot.buildFinished): Teach the
        IRC bot about EXCEPTION

        * buildbot/status/client.py (PBListener): upcall more correctly

        * buildbot/process/base.py (Build.allStepsDone): if a step caused
        an exception mark the overall build with EXCEPTION, not SUCCESS

        * buildbot/scripts/runner.py (makefile_sample): remove the leading
        newline
        * buildbot/status/mail.py (MailNotifier): oops, forgot to upcall
        * Makefile: update some release-related stuff

        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (ShellCommand.kill): if somehow this
        gets called when there isn't actually an active process, just end
        the Command instead of blowing up. I don't know how it gets into
        this state, but the twisted win32 buildslave will sometimes hang,
        and when it shakes its head and comes back, it thinks it's still
        running a Command. The next build causes this command to be
        interrupted, but the lack of self.process.pid breaks the interrupt
        attempt.

        * NEWS: document changes since the last release

        * buildbot/scripts/runner.py (start): change 'buildbot start' to
        look for Makefile.buildbot instead of a bare Makefile . The
        'buildbot start' does not install this file, so you have to
        manually copy it if you want to customize startup behavior.
        (createMaster): change 'buildbot master' command to create
        Makefile.sample instead of Makefile, to create master.cfg.sample
        instead of master.cfg (requiring you to copy it before the
        buildmaster can be started). Both sample files are kept up to
        date, i.e. they are overwritten if they have been changed. The
        'buildbot.tac' file is *not* overwritten, but if the new contents
        don't match the old, a 'buildbot.tac.new' file is created and the
        user is warned. This seems to be a much more sane way to handle
        startup files. Also, don't sys.exit(0) when done, so we can run
        unit tests against it.
        (createSlave): same. Don't overwrite the sample info/ files.
        * buildbot/scripts/sample.mk: remove. the contents were pulled
        into runner.py, since they need to match the behavior of start()
        * setup.py: same
        * MANIFEST.in: same

        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (Launching the daemons): document it
        * buildbot/test/test_runner.py (Create): test it

        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py (SetupMixin.failUnlessIn): Add a
        version that can handle string-in-string tests, because otherwise
        python-2.2 fails the tests. It'd be tremendous if Trial's test
        took two strings under 2.2 too.

        * everything: fixed all deprecation warnings when running against
        Twisted-2.0 . (at least all the ones in buildbot code, there are a
        few that come from Twisted itself). This involved putting most of
        the Twisted-version specific code in the new buildbot.twcompat
        module, and creating some abstract base classes in
        buildbot.changes.base and buildbot.status.base (which might be
        useful anyway). __implements__ is a nuisance and requires an ugly
        'if' clause everywhere.

        * buildbot/test/test_status.py (Mail.testMail): add a 0.1 second
        delay before finishing the test: it seems that smtp.sendmail
        doesn't hang up on the server, so we must wait a moment so it can
        hang up on us. This removes the trial warning about an unclean
        reactor.

2005-05-16  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/process/step.py (Source): add 'retry' argument. It is a
        tuple of (delay, repeats).
        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py (Retry): test it
        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (Source Checkout): document it
        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (SourceBase): add 'retry' parameter.
        (SourceBase.maybeDoVCRetry): If 'retry' is set, failures in
        doVCFull() are handled by re-trying the checkout (after a delay)
        some number of times.
        (ShellCommand._startCommand): make header lines easier to read

        * buildbot/test/test_web.py (WebTest.tearDown): factor out master
        shutdown
        (WebTest.test_logfile): make sure master gets shut down, silences
        some "unclean reactor" test errors

        * buildbot/test/test_changes.py (Sender.tearDown): spin the
        reactor once after shutdown, something in certain versions of
        Twisted trigger a test failure. 1.3.0 is ok, 2.0.0 fails, 2.0.1pre
        fails, svn-trunk is ok.

        * buildbot/test/test_slavecommand.py (Shell.testShellZ): add a
        second win32 error message

        * buildbot/test/test_run.py (Status.testSlave): be smarter about
        validating the ETA, so the tests don't fail on slow systems

2005-05-15  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/status/builder.py (HTMLLogFile): make this behave like
        the new LogFile class, so upgrading works properly
        (LogFileProducer.resumeProducing): survive resumeProducing after
        we've exhausted the chunkGenerator

        * buildbot/test/test_web.py (WebTest.test_logfile): validate HTML
        logs too
        * buildbot/test/test_status.py (Log.testAdd): validate hasContents
        (Log.testUpgrade): same

        * docs/buildbot.texinfo (Maintenance): describe how to delete old
        Builds and logs with a cron job.

        * buildbot/status/builder.py (LogFile): revamp LogFiles. Got rid
        of the old non-offline LogFile, added code to upgrade these to
        new-style contents-live-on-disk instances at load time (in a way
        that doesn't invalidate the old Build pickles, so upgrading to
        0.6.5 is not a one-way operation). Got rid of everything related
        to 'stub' builds.
        (LogFile.__init__): create LogFiles with the parent step status,
        the log's name, and a builder-relative filename where it can keep
        the contents on disk.
        (LogFile.hasContents): new method, clients are advised to call it
        before getText or getChunks and friends. If it returns False, the
        log's contents have been deleted and getText() will raise an
        error.
        (LogFile.getChunks): made it a generator
        (LogFile.subscribeConsumer): new method, takes a Twisted-style
        Consumer (except one that takes chunks instead of strings). This
        enables streaming of very large logfiles without storing the whole
        thing in memory.
        (BuildStatus.generateLogfileName): create names like
        12-log-compile-output, with a _0 suffix if required to be unique
        (BuildStatus.upgradeLogfiles): transform any old-style (from 0.6.4
        or earlier) logfiles into new-style ones
        (BuilderStatus): remove everything related to 'stub' builds. There
        is now only one build cache, and we don't strip logs from old
        builds anymore.
        (BuilderStatus.getBuildByNumber): check self.currentBuild too,
        since we no longer fight to keep it in the cache

        * buildbot/status/html.py (TextLog.render_GET): use a
        ChunkConsumer to stream the log entries efficiently.
        (ChunkConsumer): wrapper which consumes chunks and writes
        formatted HTML.

        * buildbot/test/test_twisted.py (Parse.testParse): use a
        LogFile-like object instead of a real one

        * buildbot/test/test_status.py (MyLog): handle new LogFile code
        (Log.testMerge3): validate more merge behavior
        (Log.testChunks): validate LogFile.getChunks
        (Log.testUpgrade): validate old-style LogFile upgrading
        (Log.testSubscribe): validate LogFile.subscribe
        (Log.testConsumer): validate LogFile.subscribeConsumer

        * buildbot/interfaces.py (IStatusLogStub): remove
        (IStatusLog.subscribeConsumer): new method
        (IStatusLog.hasContents): new method
        (IStatusLogConsumer): describes things passed to subscribeConsumer

        * buildbot/status/html.py (StepBox.getBox): Don't offer an href to
        the log contents if it does not have any contents.
        (StatusResourceBuildStep.body): same
        (StatusResourceBuildStep.getChild): give a 404 for empty logs

2005-05-14  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/test/test_web.py (WebTest.test_logfile): add 5-second
        timeouts to try and make the windows metabuildslave not hang

2005-05-13  Mike Taylor  <bear@code-bear.com>

        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (rmdirRecursive): added a check
        to ensure the path passed into rmdirRecursive actually exists.
        On win32 a non-existant path would generate an exception.

2005-05-13  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (rmdirRecursive): replacement for
        shutil.rmtree which behaves correctly on windows in the face of
        files that you have to chmod before deleting. Thanks to Bear at
        the OSAF for the routine.
        (SourceBase.doClobber): use rmdirRecursive

2005-05-12  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/status/builder.py (OfflineLogFile.getChunks): have this
        method generate chunks instead of returning a big list. This
        allows the same method to be used for both old LogFile and new
        OfflineLogFile.
        (OfflineLogFile.getText): use the generator
        (OfflineLogFile.subscribe): same
        * buildbot/status/html.py (TextLog.resumeProducing): same
        * buildbot/interfaces.py (IStatusLog.getChunks): document it

        * buildbot/test/test_web.py (WebTest.test_logfile): Add a test to
        point out that OfflineLogFile does not currently work with
        html.Waterfall . Fixing this is high-priority.

        * buildbot/scripts/runner.py (start): add --logfile=twistd.log, since
        apparently windows defaults to using stdout

        * buildbot/test/test_slavecommand.py (Shell.testShellZ): log a
        better message on failure so I can figure out the win32 problem

        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (ShellCommand._startCommand): update
        log messages to include more useful copies of the command being
        run, the argv array, and the child command's environment.
        (Git.doVCFull): update cg-close usage, patch from Brandon Philips.

2005-05-11  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * setup.py: oops, install debug.glade so 'buildbot debugclient'
        will actually work
        * Makefile: update the deb-snapshot version

        * docs/buildbot.texinfo: move all .xhtml docs into a new
        .texinfo-format document, adding a lot of material in the process.
        This is starting to look like a real user's manual. Removed all
        the Lore-related files: *.xhtml, *.css, template.tpl .
        * docs/Makefile: simple makefile to run 'makeinfo'
        * buildbot/scripts/sample.cfg: rearrange slightly
        * MANIFEST.in: include .info and .textinfo, don't include *.xhtml

2005-05-10  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/scripts/runner.py (start): Twisted-1.3.0 used a
        different name for the internal twistw module, handle it.

        * MANIFEST.in: we deleted plugins.tml, so stop shipping it
        * setup.py: .. and stop trying to install it

        * buildbot/process/step.py (Git): added support for 'cogito' (aka
        'git'), the new linux kernel VC system (http://kernel.org/git/).
        Thanks to Brandon Philips for the patch.
        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (Git): same

2005-05-06  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/status/builder.py (OfflineLogFile): replace the default
        LogFile with a form that appends its new contents to a disk file
        as they arrive. The complete log data is never kept in RAM. This
        is the first step towards handling very large (100MB+) logfiles
        without choking quite so badly. (The other half is
        producer/consumer on the HTML pages).
        (BuildStepStatus.addLog): use OfflineLogFile by default
        (BuildStatus.getLogfileName): helper code to give the
        OfflineLogFile a filename to work with

        * buildbot/test/test_status.py (Results.testAddResults): update
        tests to handle new asserts
        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py (Patch.doPatch): same
        * buildbot/test/test_steps.py (BuildStep.setUp): same

2005-05-05  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/scripts/runner.py (start): if there is no Makefile,
        launch the app by importing twistd's internals and calling run(),
        rather than spawning a new twistd process. This stands a much
        better chance of working under windows.
        (stop): kill the process with os.kill instead of spawning
        /bin/kill, again to reduce the number of external programs which
        windows might not have in the PATH. Also wait up to 5 seconds for
        the process to go away, allowing things like 'buildbot stop;
        buildbot start' to be reliable in the face of slow shutdowns.

        * buildbot/master.py (Dispatcher.__getstate__): remove old
        .tap-related methods
        (BuildMaster.__getstate__): same
        (makeService): same
        * buildbot/slave/bot.py (makeService): same
        (Options.longdesc): same
        * buildbot/scripts/runner.py: copy over some old mktap option text

        * buildbot/scripts/runner.py (masterTAC): stop using mktap.
        'buildbot master' now creates a buildbot.tac file, so there is no
        longer a create-instance/save/reload sequence. mktap is dead, long
        live twistd -y.
        * buildbot/scripts/sample.mk: use twistd -y, not -f
        * buildbot/test/test_config.py: remove mktap-based test
        * buildbot/bb_tap.py, buildbot/plugins.tml: delete old files
        * README: don't reference mktap

        * docs/source.xhtml: document some of the attributes that Changes
        might have

        * docs/steps.xhtml (Bazaar): document the Bazaar checkout step

        * general: merge in Change(tag=) patch from Thomas Vander Stichele.
        [org.apestaart@thomas--buildbot/buildbot--cvstag--0-dev--patch-2]
        * buildbot/changes/changes.py (Change)
        * buildbot/changes/mail.py (parseSyncmail)
        * buildbot/test/test_mailparse.py (Test3.getNoPrefix)
        (Test3.testMsgS5)
        * buildbot/process/base.py (Build.isTagImportant)
        (Build.addChange)


2005-05-04  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/clients/sendchange.py (Sender.send): tear down the PB
        connection after sending the change, so that unit tests don't
        complain about sockets being left around

        * buildbot/status/html.py (WaterfallStatusResource.body): fix
        exception in phase=0 rendering
        * buildbot/test/test_web.py (WebTest.test_waterfall): test it

        * buildbot/changes/dnotify.py (DNotify.__init__): remove debug msg

        * buildbot/master.py (BuildMaster.loadConfig): finally remove
        deprecated config keys: webPortnum, webPathname, irc, manholePort,
        and configuring builders with tuples.
        * buildbot/test/test_config.py: stop testing compatibility with
        deprecated config keys
        * buildbot/test/test_run.py: same

2005-05-03  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * contrib/arch_buildbot.py: survive if there are no logfiles
        (username): just use a string, os.getlogin isn't reliable

        * buildbot/scripts/runner.py (sendchange): oops, fix the command
        so 'buildbot sendchange' actually works. The earlier test only
        covered the internal (non-reactor-running) form.

        * contrib/arch_buildbot.py: utility that can run as an Arch hook
        script to notify the buildmaster about changes

        * buildbot/scripts/runner.py (sendchange): new command to send a
        change to a buildbot.changes.pb.PBChangeSource receiver.
        * buildbot/test/test_changes.py (Sender): test it

        * buildbot/master.py (BuildMaster.startService): mark .readConfig
        after any reading of the config file, not just when we do it in
        startService. This makes some tests a bit cleaner.

        * buildbot/changes/pb.py: add some log messages

        * buildbot/process/base.py (Build.startBuild): fix a bug that
        caused an exception when the build terminated in the very first
        step.
        (Build.stepDone): let steps return a status of EXCEPTION. This
        terminates the build right away, and sets the build's overall
        status to EXCEPTION too.
        * buildbot/process/step.py (BuildStep.failed): return a status of
        EXCEPTION when that is what has happened.

        * buildbot/process/step.py (Arch.computeSourceRevision): finally
        implement this, allowing Arch-based projects to get precise
        checkouts instead of always using the latest code
        (Bazaar): create variant of Arch to let folks use baz instead of
        tla. Requires a new buildslave too.
        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (Arch): add 'revision' argument
        (Bazaar): create variant of Arch that uses baz instead of tla.
        Remove the code that extracts the archive name from the
        register-archive output, since baz doesn't provide it, and require
        the user provide both the archive name and its location.
        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py (VC.testBazaar): added tests

2005-05-02  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/scripts/sample.cfg: improve docs for c['buildbotURL'],
        thanks to Nick Trout.

        * buildbot/scripts/runner.py (Maker.makefile): chmod before edit,
        deals better with source Makefile coming from a read-only CVS
        checkout. Thanks to Nick Trout for the catch.

        * buildbot/__init__.py (version): bump to 0.6.4+ while between
        releases

2005-04-28  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/__init__.py (version): Releasing buildbot-0.6.4

        * debian/changelog: update for 0.6.4

2005-04-28  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * README.w32: add a checklist of steps for getting buildbot
        running on windows.
        * MANIFEST.in: include it in the tarball

        * NEWS: update

        * buildbot/master.py (BuildMaster.upgradeToVersion3): deal with
        broken .tap files from 0.6.3 by getting rid of .services,
        .namedServices, and .change_svc at load time.

2005-04-27  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * NEWS: update in preparation for new release

        * buildbot/test/test_config.py (Save.testSave): don't pull in
        twisted.scripts.twistd, we don't need it and it isn't for windows
        anyway.

        * buildbot/changes/changes.py (ChangeMaster.saveYourself):
        accomodate win32 which can't do atomic-rename

2005-04-27  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/test/test_run.py (Disconnect.testBuild2): crank up some
        timeouts to help the slow metabuildbot not flunk them so much
        (Disconnect.testBuild3): same
        (Disconnect.testBuild4): same
        (Disconnect.testInterrupt): same

        * buildbot/master.py (BuildMaster.loadChanges): fix change_svc
        setup, it was completely broken for new buildmasters (those which
        did not have a 'change.pck' already saved. Thanks to Paul Warren
        for catching this (embarrassing!) bug.
        (Dispatcher.__getstate__): don't save our registered avatar
        factories, since they'll be re-populated when the config file is
        re-read.
        (BuildMaster.__init__): add a dummy ChangeMaster, used only by
        tests (since the real mktap-generated BuildMaster doesn't save
        this attribute).
        (BuildMaster.__getstate__): don't save any service children,
        they'll all be re-populated when the config file is re-read.
        * buildbot/test/test_config.py (Save.testSave): test for this

2005-04-26  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/buildbot.png: use a new, smaller (16x16) icon image,
        rendered with Blender.. looks a bit nicer.
        * buildbot/docs/images/icon.blend: add the Blender file for it

        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (ShellCommand._startCommand): prepend
        'cmd.exe' (or rather os.environ['COMSPEC']) to the argv list when
        running under windows. This appears to be the best way to allow
        BuildSteps to do something normal like 'trial -v buildbot.test' or
        'make foo' and still expect it to work. The idea is to make the
        BuildSteps look as much like what a developer would type when
        compiling or testing the tree by hand. This approach probably has
        problems when there are spaces in the arguments, so if you've got
        windows buildslaves, you'll need to pay close attention to your
        commands.

        * buildbot/status/html.py (WaterfallStatusResource.body): add the
        timezone to the timestamp column.
        * buildbot/test/test_web.py (WebTest.test_waterfall): test it

        * buildbot/scripts/runner.py (loadOptions): do something sane for
        windows, I think. We use %APPDATA%/buildbot instead of
        ~/.buildbot, but we still search everywhere from the current
        directory up to the root for a .buildbot/ subdir. The "is it under
        $HOME" security test was replaced with "is it owned by the current
        user", which is only performed under posix.
        * buildbot/test/test_runner.py (Options.testFindOptions): update
        tests to match. The "is it owned by the current user" check is
        untested. The test has been re-enabled for windows.

        * buildbot/test/test_slavecommand.py (Shell.checkOutput): replace
        any "\n" in the expected output with the platform-specific line
        separator. Make this separator "\r\n" on PTYs under unix, they
        seem to do that and I don't know why

        * buildbot/test/test_runner.py (Options.optionsFile): disable on
        windows for now, I don't know what ~/.buildbot/ should mean there.

        * buildbot/test/test_run.py (BuilderNames.testGetBuilderNames):
        win32 compatibility, don't use "/tmp"
        (Basedir.testChangeBuilddir): remove more unixisms

2005-04-26  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/test/test_control.py (Force.rmtree): python2.2
        compatibility, apparently its shutil.rmtree ignore_errors=
        argument is ignored.
        * buildbot/test/test_run.py (Run.rmtree): same
        (RunMixin.setUp): same

        * buildbot/test/test_runner.py (make): python2.2 has os.sep but
        not os.path.sep

        * buildbot/test/test_twisted.py (Parse.failUnlessIn): 2.2 has no
        'substring in string' operator, must use string.find(substr)!=-1
        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py (Patch.failUnlessIn): same
        * buildbot/test/test_web.py (WebTest.failUnlessIn): same

        * buildbot/scripts/runner.py (loadOptions): add code to search for
        ~/.buildbot/, a directory with things like 'options', containing
        defaults for various 'buildbot' subcommands. .buildbot/ can be in
        the current directory, your $HOME directory, or anywhere
        inbetween, as long as you're somewhere inside your home directory.
        (debugclient): look in ~/.buildbot/options for master and passwd
        (statuslog): look in ~/.buildbot/options for 'masterstatus'
        * buildbot/test/test_runner.py (Options.testFindOptions): test it

        * buildbot/status/client.py (makeRemote): new approach to making
        IRemote(None) be None, which works under Twisted-2.0
        * buildbot/test/test_status.py (Client.testAdaptation): test it

        * buildbot/status/builder.py (Status.builderAdded): when loading a
        pickled BuilderStatus in from disk, set its name after loading.
        The config file might have changed its name (but not its
        directory) while it wasn't looking.
        
        * buildbot/process/builder.py (Builder.attached): always return a
        Deferred, even if the builder was already attached
        * buildbot/test/test_run.py (Basedir.testChangeBuilddir): test it

2005-04-25  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/status/words.py (IrcStatusBot.buildFinished): fix a
        category-related exception when announcing a build has finished

        * buildbot/status/html.py (StatusResourceChanges.body): oops, don't
        reference no-longer-existent changemaster.sources
        * buildbot/test/test_web.py (WebTest.test_waterfall): test for it

        * buildbot/__init__.py (version): bump to 0.6.3+ while between
        releases

2005-04-25  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/__init__.py (version): Releasing buildbot-0.6.3

        * debian/changelog: update for 0.6.3

2005-04-25  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * MANIFEST.in: make sure debug.glade is in the tarball

        * README (REQUIREMENTS): list necessary Twisted-2.0 packages

        * NEWS: update for the imminent 0.6.3 release

        * buildbot/status/html.py (HtmlResource.content): make the
        stylesheet <link> always point at "buildbot.css".
        (StatusResource.getChild): map "buildbot.css" to a static.File
        containing whatever css= argument was provided to Waterfall()
        (Waterfall): provide the "classic" css as the default.
        * docs/waterfall.classic.css: move default CSS from here ..
        * buildbot/status/classic.css: .. to here

        * MANIFEST.in: make sure classic.css is included in the tarball
        * setup.py: and that it is installed too, under buildbot/status/

        * buildbot/master.py (BuildMaster): oops, set .change_svc=None at
        the module level, because buildbot.tap files from 0.6.2 don't have
        it in their attribute dictionary.

        * buildbot/slave/bot.py (Bot.startService): make sure the basedir
        really exists at startup, might save some confusion somewhere.

2005-04-24  Thomas Vander Stichele  <thomas at apestaart dot org>

        * docs/waterfall.classic.css:
          add a stylesheet that's almost the same as the "classic"
          buildbot style

        * buildbot/status/builder.py:
          add EXCEPTION as a result - this is a problem for the bot
          maintainer, not a build problem for the changers
        * buildbot/process/step.py:
          use EXCEPTION instead of FAILURE for exceptions
        * buildbot/status/html.py:
          add build_get_class to get a class out of a build/buildstep
          finish naming the classes
          split out sourceNames to changeNames and builderNames so we
          can style them separately
        * docs/config.xhtml:
          finish documenting classes as they are right now

        * buildbot/status/html.py:
          name the classes as we agreed on IRC
        * docs/config.xhtml:
          and document them

        * buildbot/status/html.py:
          same for cssclass->class_

        * buildbot/status/html.py:
          as decided on IRC, use class_ for the "class" attribute to not
          conflict with the class keyword, and clean up the messy **{} stuff.

        * buildbot/status/mail.py:
          put back "builders" argument, and fix docstring, because the
          code *ignores* builders listed in this argument

        * buildbot/process/builder.py:
          remove FIXME notes - category is now indeed a cvar of BuilderStatus

        * docs/config.xhtml:
          describe the category argument for builders

        * buildbot/status/builder.py:
          Fix a silly bug due to merging

        * buildbot/process/builder.py:
          remove category from the process Builder ...
        * buildbot/status/builder.py:
          ... and add it to BuilderStatus instead.
          Set category on unpickled builder statuses, they might not have it.
        * buildbot/master.py:
          include category when doing builderAdded
        * buildbot/status/mail.py:
          return None instead of self for builders we are not interested in.
        * buildbot/test/test_run.py:
          fix a bug due to only doing deferredResult on "dummy" waiting
        * buildbot/test/test_status.py:
          add checks for the Mail IStatusReceiver returning None or self

        * buildbot/status/html.py:
          fix testsuite by prefixing page title with BuildBot

        * buildbot/status/builder.py:
          have .category in builder status ...
        * buildbot/process/builder.py:
          ... and set it from Builder
        * buildbot/status/html.py:
          make .css a class variable 
        * buildbot/test/test_status.py:
          write more tests to cover our categories stuff ...
        * buildbot/status/mail.py:
          ... and fix the bug that this uncovered

          keep order of addition when getting builder names
        * buildbot/status/words.py:

          replace the color code for purple with purple, don't understand
          why it wasn't purple to start with

        * buildbot/status/words.py:
          ok, so it doesn't look like BuilderStatus.remote is still valid.
          Use what waterfall uses instead.

        * buildbot/interfaces.py:

        * buildbot/status/mail.py:

          use categories everywhere and make it be a list.  More sensible
          for the future.  Also make words actually respect this in
          buildFinished.

        * buildbot/interfaces.py:
          add category argument to getBuilderNames
        * buildbot/process/builder.py:
        * buildbot/status/builder.py:
        * buildbot/status/html.py:
        * buildbot/status/mail.py:
        * buildbot/status/words.py:
        * buildbot/test/test_run.py:
          move from specifying builders by name to specifying the category

        * buildbot/status/html.py:
        * buildbot/status/words.py:
          add "builders=" to __init__ of status clients so they can
          limit themselves to the given list of builders to report on

        * buildbot/status/html.py: set the title to the product name

2005-04-23  Thomas Vander Stichele  <thomas at apestaart dot org>

        * buildbot/interfaces.py:
        * buildbot/status/builder.py:
          more documentation.  Hm, not sure if ChangeLog entries make sense
          here...

2005-04-23  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py (SetupMixin.do_vc): increase timeouts

        * buildbot/test/test_slavecommand.py (Shell): increase timeouts

        * buildbot/scripts/runner.py: make 'statuslog' and 'statusgui' be
        the sub-commands that log buildmaster status to stdout and to a
        GUI window, respectively.

        * buildbot/clients/gtkPanes.py: overhaul. basic two-row
        functionality is working again, but all the step-status and ETA
        stuff is missing. Commented out a lot of code pending more
        overhaul work.

        * buildbot/status/client.py: make sure that IRemote(None) is None

        * buildbot/changes/changes.py: import defer, oops
        (ChangeMaster): remove the .sources list, rely upon the fact that
        MultiServices can be treated as sequences of their children. This
        cleans up the add/remove ChangeSource routines a lot, as we keep
        exactly one list of the current sources instead of three.

        * buildbot/master.py (BuildMaster.__init__): remove .sources, set
        up an empty ChangeMaster at init time.
        (BuildMaster.loadChanges): if there are changes to be had from
        disk, replace self.change_svc with the new ones. If not, keep
        using the empty ChangeMaster set up in __init__.
        (BuildMaster.loadConfig_Sources): use list(self.change_svc)
        instead of a separate list, makes the code a bit cleaner.
        * buildbot/test/test_config.py (ConfigTest.testSimple): match it
        (ConfigTest.testSources): same, also wait for loadConfig to finish.
        Extend the test to make sure we can get rid of the sources when
        we're done.

2005-04-22  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/scripts/runner.py (Maker.mkinfo): create the info/admin
        and info/host files when making the slave directory

        * buildbot/test/test_run.py (RunMixin.shutdownSlave): remove the
        whendone= argument, just return the Deferred and let the caller do
        what they want with it.
        (Disconnect.testBuild1): wait for shutdownSlave
        (Basedir.testChangeBuilddir): new test to make sure changes to the
        builddir actually get propagated to the slave

        * buildbot/slave/bot.py (SlaveBuilder.setBuilddir): use an
        explicit method, rather than passing the builddir in __init__ .
        Make sure to update self.basedir too, this was broken before.
        (Bot.remote_setBuilderList): use b.setBuilddir for both new
        builders and for ones that have just had their builddir changed.
        (BotFactory): add a class-level .perspective attribute, so
        BuildSlave.waitUntilDisconnected won't get upset when the
        connection hasn't yet been established
        (BuildSlave.__init__): keep track of the bot.Bot instance, so
        tests can reach through it to inspect the SlaveBuilders

        * buildbot/process/base.py (Build.buildException): explain the
        log.err with a log.msg
        * buildbot/process/builder.py (Builder.startBuild): same
        (Builder._startBuildFailed): improve error message

        * buildbot/pbutil.py (RBCP.failedToGetPerspective): if the failure
        occurred because we lost the brand-new connection, retry instead
        of giving up. If not, it's probably an authorization failure, and
        it makes sense to stop trying. Make sure we log.msg the reason
        that we're log.err'ing the failure, otherwise test failures are
        really hard to figure out.

        * buildbot/master.py: change loadConfig() to return a Deferred
        that doesn't fire until the change has been fully implemented.
        This means any connected slaves have been updated with the new
        builddir. This change makes it easier to test the code which
        actually implements this builddir-updating.
        (BotPerspective.addBuilder): return Deferred
        (BotPerspective.removeBuilder): same
        (BotPerspective.attached): same
        (BotPerspective._attached): same. finish with remote_print before
        starting the getSlaveInfo, instead of doing them in parallel
        (BotPerspective.list_done): same
        (BotMaster.removeSlave): same. Fix the typo that meant we weren't
        actually calling slave.disconnect()
        (BotMaster.addBuilder): same
        (BotMaster.removeBuilder): same
        (BuildMaster.loadConfig): same
        (BuildMaster.loadConfig_Slaves): same
        (BuildMaster.loadConfig_Sources): same
        (BuildMaster.loadConfig_Builders): same
        (BuildMaster.loadConfig_status): same

        * buildbot/changes/changes.py (ChangeMaster.removeSource): return
        a Deferred that fires when the source is finally removed

        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (SourceBase.doClobber): when removing
        the previous tree on win32, where we have to do it synchronously,
        make sure we return a Deferred anyway.
        (SourceBase.doCopy): same

        * buildbot/scripts/runner.py (statusgui): use the text client for
        now, while I rewrite the Gtk one
        * buildbot/clients/base.py: strip out old code, leaving just the
        basic print-message-on-event functionality. I also remove the
        ReconnectingPBClientFactory, but it does at least quit when it
        loses the connection instead of going silent

2005-04-21  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * Makefile: minor tweaks

        * NEWS: point out deprecation warnings, new features for
        /usr/bin/buildbot

        * buildbot/master.py (BuildMaster.loadConfig): emit
        DeprecationWarnings for Builders defined with tuples. Rearrange
        code to facility removal of deprecated configuration keys in the
        next release.

        * buildbot/scripts/runner.py (createMaster,createSlave): rewrite
        'buildbot' command to put a little Makefile in the target that
        helps you re-create the buildbot.tap file, start or stop the
        master/slave, and reconfigure (i.e. SIGHUP) the master. Also chmod
        all the files 0600, since they contain passwords.
        (start): if there is a Makefile, and /usr/bin/make exists, use
        'make start' in preference to a raw twistd command. This lets
        slave admins put things like PYTHONPATH variables in their
        Makefiles and have them still work when the slave is started with
        'buildbot start ~/slave/foo'. The test is a bit clunky, it would
        be nice to first try the 'make' command and only fall back to
        twistd if it fails. TODO: the Makefile's "start" command does not
        add the --reactor=win32 argument when running under windows.
        (Options.debugclient, Options.statusgui): add sub-commands to launch
        the debug client (formerly in contrib/debugclient.py) and the
        Gtk status application (currently broken)
        * buildbot/clients/debug.py: move from contrib/debugclient.py
        * buildbot/clients/debug.glade: same

        * buildbot/test/test_trial.py: remove it. This requires some
        functionality out of Twisted that isn't there yet, and until then
        having it around just confuses things.

        * buildbot/test/test_slavecommand.py (Shell): test both with and
        without PTYs, and make sure that command output is properly
        interleaved in the with-PTY case. I think the without-PTY test
        should pass on windows, where we never use PTYs anyway.

2005-04-20  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * README (REQUIREMENTS): mention Twisted-2.0.0 compatibility

        * MANIFEST.in: add epyrun, gen-reference, buildbot.png

        * NEWS: start creating entries for the next release

        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (ShellCommand.__init__): use os.pathsep

        * buildbot/test/test_web.py (WebTest.test_webPortnum): add timeout
        (WebTest.test_webPathname): same
        (WebTest.test_webPathname_port): same
        (WebTest.test_waterfall): use the default favicon rather than
        rooting around the filesystem for it. Open the expected-icon file
        in binary mode, to make win32 tests happier (thanks to Nick Trout
        for the catch)
        * buildbot/status/html.py (buildbot_icon): win32 portability

        * buildbot/test/test_slavecommand.py (SlaveCommandTestCase.testShellZ):
        win32-compatibility fixes from Nick Trout, the "file not found" message
        is different under windows
        (FakeSlaveBuilder.__init__): clean up setup a bit
        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py (VCSupport.__init__): win32: use os.pathsep

2005-04-19  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py (SetupMixin.setUpClass): fix the
        skip-if-repositories-are-unavailable test to not kill the trial
        that comes with Twisted-1.3.0

        * setup.py: install buildbot.png icon file when installing code

        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (ShellCommand._startCommand): log the
        environment used by the command, at least on the child side.

        * buildbot/status/html.py (TextLog.pauseProducing): add a note,
        this method needs to be added and implemented because it gets
        called under heavy load. I don't quite understand the
        producer/consumer API enough to write it.
        (StatusResource.getChild): add a resource for /favicon.ico
        (Waterfall.__init__): add favicon= argument
        * buildbot/test/test_web.py (WebTest.test_waterfall): test it
        (WebTest.test_webPortnum): stop using deprecated 'webPortnum'
        (WebTest.test_webPathname): same
        (WebTest.test_webPathname_port): same
        * docs/config.xhtml: mention favicon=
        * buildbot/buildbot.png: add a default icon, dorky as it is

2005-04-18  Thomas Vander Stichele  <thomas at apestaart dot org>

        * buildbot/master.py:
        * buildbot/process/base.py:

          new documentation while digging through the code

2005-04-17  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * general: try to fix file modes on all .py files: a+r, a-x,
        but let buildbot/clients/*.py be +x since they're tools

        * docs/epyrun (addMod): when an import fails, say why

        * Makefile: Add a 'docs' target, hack on the PYTHONPATH stuff

2005-04-17  Thomas Vander Stichele  <thomas at apestaart dot org>

        * buildbot/process/base.py:
        * buildbot/process/builder.py:
        * buildbot/status/builder.py:
          new documentation while digging through the code

2005-04-17  Thomas Vander Stichele  <thomas at apestaart dot org>

        * buildbot/changes/changes.py:
        * buildbot/changes/p4poller.py:
        * buildbot/interfaces.py:
        * buildbot/process/base.py:

          fix all docstrings to make epydoc happy.  In the process of fixing
          some, I also moved pieces of docs, and removed some deprecated
          documentation

2005-04-17  Thomas Vander Stichele  <thomas at apestaart dot org>

        * buildbot/process/builder.py:
        * buildbot/process/interlock.py:
        * buildbot/process/process_twisted.py:
        * buildbot/process/step.py:
          BuildProcess -> Build, as it looks like that's what happened
        * buildbot/process/base.py:
        * buildbot/process/factory.py:
          update epydoc stuff

2005-04-17  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/process/process_twisted.py (QuickTwistedBuildFactory):
        update compile command to accomodate the Twisted split.. now
        instead of './setup.py build_ext -i', you do './setup.py all
        build_ext -i', to run build_ext over all sub-projects.
        (FullTwistedBuildFactory): same
        (TwistedReactorsBuildFactory): same

        * buildbot/status/html.py (TextLog.finished): null out self.req
        when we're done, otherwise the reference cycle of TextLog to .req
        to .notifications to a Deferred to TextLog.stop keeps them from
        being collected, and consumes a huge (610MB on pyramid at last
        check) amount of memory.

2005-04-11  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py (VCSupport.__init__): use abspath() to
        normalize the VC-repository location.. makes SVN happier with
        certain test environments.

        * buildbot/process/step.py (RemoteShellCommand.__init__): let each
        RemoteShellCommand gets its own .env dictionary, so that code in
        start() doesn't mutate the original. I think this should fix the
        step_twisted.Trial problem where multiple identical components
        kept getting added to PYTHONPATH= over and over again.

        * general: merge org.apestaart@thomas/buildbot--doc--0--patch-3,
        adding epydoc-format docstrings to many classes. Thanks to Thomas
        Vander Stichele for the patches.
        * docs/epyrun, docs/gen-reference: add epydoc-generating tools
        * buildbot/status/mail.py, buildbot/process/step_twisted.py: same
        * buildbot/slave/bot.py, commands.py, registry.py: same

2005-04-05  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (SourceBase.doCopy): use cp -p to
        preserve timestamps, helps incremental builds of large trees.
        Patch from Rene Rivera.

        * buildbot/slave/bot.py (SlaveBuilder.commandComplete): oops, log
        'failure' and not the non-existent 'why'. Thanks to Rene Rivera
        for the catch.

2005-04-03  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/master.py (BuildMaster.loadConfig): only call exec()
        with one dict, apparently exec has some scoping bugs when used
        with both global/local dicts. Thanks to Nathaniel Smith for the
        catch.

2005-04-02  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py (countFailedTests): the new
        trial in Twisted-2.0 emits a slightly different status line than
        old trial ("PASSED.." instead of "OK.."). Handle it so we don't
        mistakenly think the test count is unparseable.
        (Trial.start): note that for some reason each build causes another
        copy of self.testpath to be prepended to PYTHONPATH. This needs to
        be fixed but I'm not sure quite where the problem is.

2005-04-01  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/test/test_run.py (Run.testMaster): change some uses of
        deferredResult to avoid hangs/warnings under twisted-2.0
        (RunMixin.tearDown): same
        (RunMixin.shutdownSlave): same
        (Disconnect.testIdle1): same
        (Disconnect.testBuild2): same: wait one second after the build
        finishes for test to really be done.. this should be cleaned up to
        avoid wasting that second. Builder.detach uses a callLater(0),
        either that should be done in-line (something else needed that
        behavior), or it should return a Deferred that fires when the
        builder is really offline.
        (Disconnect.testBuild3): same
        (Disconnect.testDisappear): same

        * buildbot/test/test_web.py: rearrange server-setup and teardown
        code to remove unclean-reactor warnings from twisted-2.0

        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py: rearrange probe-for-VC-program routine
        so the tests don't hang under twisted-2.0

2005-03-31  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/slave/bot.py (Bot.remote_setBuilderList): fix typo that
        caused a warning each time the master changed our set of builders

        * buildbot/status/builder.py (BuildStatus.saveYourself): under
        w32, don't unlink the file unless it already exists. Thanks to
        Baptiste Lepilleur for the catch.
        (BuilderStatus.saveYourself): same

2005-02-01  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/status/html.py (TextLog.getChild): use a /text child
        URL, such as http://foo.com/svn-hello/builds/1/test/0/text instead
        of http://foo.com/svn-hello/builds/1/test/0 , to retrieve the
        logfile as text/plain (no markup, no headers). This replaces the
        previous scheme (which used an ?text=1 argument), and gets us back
        to a relative link (which works better when the buildbot lives
        behind another web server, such as Apache configured as a reverse
        proxy). Thanks to Gerald Combs for spotting the problem.

        * buildbot/__init__.py (version): bump to 0.6.2+ while between
        releases

2004-12-13  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/__init__.py (version): Releasing buildbot-0.6.2

        * debian/changelog: update for 0.6.2
        * NEWS: finalize for 0.6.2

2004-12-11  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * NEWS: bring it up to date

        * buildbot/slave/bot.py (BotFactory): revamp keepalive/lost-master
        detection code. Require some sign of life from the buildmaster
        every BotFactory.keepaliveInterval seconds. Provoke this
        indication at BotFactory.keepaliveTimeout seconds before the
        deadline by sending a keepalive request. We don't actually care if
        that request is answered in a timely fashion, what we care about
        is that .activity() is called before the deadline. .activity() is
        triggered by any PB message from the master (including an ack to
        one of the slave's status-update messages). With this new scheme,
        large status messages over slow pipes are OK, as long as any given
        message can be sent (and thus acked) within .keepaliveTimeout
        seconds (which defaults to 30).
        (SlaveBuilder.remote_startCommand): record activity
        (SlaveBuilder.ackUpdate): same
        (SlaveBuilder.ackComplete): same
        (BotFactory.gotPerspective): same
        * buildbot/test/test_run.py (Disconnect.testSlaveTimeout): test it

2004-12-09  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/status/html.py (StatusResourceBuilder.getChild): remove
        debug message

        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py (Trial._commandComplete):
        update self.cmd when we start the 'cat test.log' transfer. Without
        this, we cannot interrupt the correct RemoteCommand when we lose
        the connection.

        * buildbot/process/step.py (RemoteCommand.interrupt): don't bother
        trying to tell the slave to stop the command if we're already
        inactive, or if we no longer have a .remote

        * buildbot/process/builder.py (Builder._detached): don't let an
        exception in currentBuild.stopBuild() prevent the builder from
        being marked offline

2004-12-07  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/status/words.py (IrcStatusBot.getBuilder): catch the
        KeyError that happens when you ask for a non-existent Builder, and
        translate it into a UsageError.

        * buildbot/test/test_run.py (Disconnect.testBuild4): validate that
        losing the slave in the middle of a remote step is handled too

        * buildbot/process/step.py (ShellCommand.interrupt): 'reason' can
        be a Failure, so be sure to stringify it before using it as the
        contents of the 'interrupt' logfile
        (RemoteCommand.interrupt): use stringified 'why' in
        remote_interruptCommand too, just in case

2004-12-06  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (Arch.doVCUpdate): use 'tla replay'
        instead of 'tla update', which is more efficient in case we've
        missed a couple of patches since the last update.

        * debian/changelog: update for previous (0.6.1) release. Obviously
        this needs to be handled better.

2004-12-05  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * NEWS: update for stuff since last release

        * buildbot/master.py (DebugPerspective.attached): return 'self', to
        match the maybeDeferred change in Dispatcher.requestAvatar
        * buildbot/changes/pb.py (ChangePerspective.attached): same
        * buildbot/status/client.py (StatusClientPerspective.attached): same
        * buildbot/process/builder.py (Builder._attached3): same
        * buildbot/pbutil.py (NewCredPerspective.attached): same

        * buildbot/status/html.py (WaterfallStatusResource.phase2): Add
        the date to the top-most box, if it is not the same as today's
        date.

        * docs/slave.xhtml: provide a buildslave setup checklist

        * docs/source.xhtml (Arch): correct terminology

2004-12-04  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/test/test_slavecommand.py: use sys.executable instead
        of hard-coding 'python' for child commands, might help portability

        * docs/examples/twisted_master.cfg: update to current usage

        * buildbot/status/words.py (IrcStatusBot.command_STOP): add a
        'stop build' command to the IRC bot

        * buildbot/master.py (Dispatcher.requestAvatar): remove debug
        message that broke PBChangeSource

        * buildbot/slave/bot.py: clean up shutdown/lose-master code
        (SlaveBuilder): make some attributes class-level, remove the old
        "update queue" which existed to support resuming a build after the
        master connection was lost. Try to reimplement that feature later.
        (SlaveBuilder.stopCommand): clear self.command when the
        SlaveCommand finishes, so that we don't try to kill a leftover one
        at shutdown time.
        (SlaveBuilder.commandComplete): same, merge with commandFailed and
        .finishCommand

        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (SourceBase): set self.command for
        all VC commands, so they can be interrupted.

2004-12-03  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/master.py: clean up slave-handling code, to handle
        slave-disconnect and multiple-connect better
        (BotPerspective): make these long-lasting, exactly one per bot
        listed in the config file.
        (BotPerspective.attached): if a slave connects while an existing
        one appears to still be connected, disconnect the old one first.
        (BotPerspective.disconnect): new method to forcibly disconnect a
        buildslave. Use some hacks to empty the transmit buffer quickly to
        avoid the long (20-min?) TCP timeout that could occur if the old
        slave has dropped off the net.
        (BotMaster): Keep persistent BotPerspectives in .slaves, let them
        own their own SlaveStatus objects. Remove .attached/.detached, add
        .addSlave/.removeSlave, treat slaves like Builders (config file
        parsing sends deltas to the BotMaster). Inform the slave
        instances, i.e. the BotPerspective, about addBuilder and
        removeBuilder.
        (BotMaster.getPerspective): turns into a single dict lookup
        (Dispatcher.requestAvatar): allow .attached to return a Deferred,
        which gives BotPerspective.attached a chance to disconnect the old
        slave first.
        (BuildMaster.loadConfig): add code (disabled) to validate that all
        builders use known slaves (listed in c['bots']). The check won't
        work with tuple-specified builders, which are deprecated but not
        yet invalid, so the check is disabled for now.
        (BuildMaster.loadConfig_Slaves): move slave-config into a separate
        routine, do the add/changed/removed dance with them like we do
        with builders.
        (BuildMaster.loadConfig_Sources): move source-config into a
        separate routine too

        * buildbot/status/builder.py (Status.getSlave): get the
        SlaveStatus object from the BotPerspective, not the BotMaster.

        * buildbot/test/test_run.py: bunch of new tests for losing the
        buildslave at various points in the build, handling a slave that
        connects multiple times, and making sure we can interrupt a
        running build

        * buildbot/slave/bot.py (BuildSlave): make it possible to use
        something other than 'Bot' for the Bot object, to make certain
        test cases easier to write.
        (BuildSlave.waitUntilDisconnected): utility method for testing

2004-11-30  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/test/test_run.py (RunMixin): refactor, remove debug msg

        * buildbot/interfaces.py (IBuilderControl.ping): add timeout=
        argument, return a Deferred that always fires with True or False.
        I don't use an errback to indicate 'ping failed' so that callers
        are free to ignore the deferred without causing spurious errors in
        the logs.
        * buildbot/process/builder.py (BuilderControl.ping): implement it

        * buildbot/test/test_run.py (Status.testDisappear): test ping
        (Status.disappearSlave): fix it

2004-11-30  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/interfaces.py (IBuildControl): add .stopBuild
        (IBuilderControl): add .getBuild(num), only works for the current
        build, of course, although it might be interesting to offer
        something for builds in the .waiting or .interlocked state.

        * buildbot/process/base.py (Build): have .stopBuild just do the
        interrupt, then let the build die by itself.
        (BuildControl): add .stopBuild, and add a point-event named
        'interrupt' just after the build so status viewers can tell that
        someone killed it.
        (BuilderControl): add .getBuild

        * buildbot/process/step.py (Dummy): use haltOnFailure so it really
        stops when you kill it, good for testing
        (ShellCommand.interrupt): add a logfile named 'interrupt' which
        contains the 'reason' text.

        * buildbot/status/html.py: Add Stop Build button, if the build can
        still be stopped. Send a Redirect (to the top page) one second
        later, hopefully long enough for the interrupt to have an effect.
        Move make_row() up to top-level to share it between Stop Build and
        Force Build.

        * buildbot/slave/commands.py: only kill the child process once

        * buildbot/test/test_run.py: add testInterrupt

2004-11-29  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/process/base.py: Refactor command interruption. The
        Build is now responsible for noticing that the slave has gone
        away: Build.lostRemote() interrupts the current step and makes
        sure that no further ones will be started.
        
        * buildbot/process/builder.py: When the initial remote_startBuild
        message fails, log it: this usually indicates that the slave has
        gone away, but we don't really start paying attention until they
        fail to respond to the first step's command.

        * buildbot/process/step.py (RemoteCommand): Does *not* watch for
        slave disconnect. Now sports a new interrupt() method. Error
        handling was simplified a lot by chaining deferreds, so
        remoteFailed/remoteComplete were merged into a single
        remoteComplete method (which can now get a Failure object).
        Likewise failed/finished were merged into just _finished.
        (BuildStep): Add interrupt(why) method, and if why is a
        ConnectionLost Failure then the step is failed with some useful
        error text.

        * buildbot/slave/bot.py: stop the current command when the remote
        Step reference is lost, and when the slave is shut down.
        (Bot): make it a MultiService, so it can have children. Use
        stopService to tell when the slave is shutting down.
        (SlaveBuilder): make it a Service, and a child of the Bot. Add
        remote_interruptCommand (which asks the current SlaveCommand to
        stop but allows it to keep emitting status messages), and
        stopCommand (which tells it to shut up and die).

        * buildbot/slave/commands.py: make commands interruptible
        (ShellCommand.kill): factor out os.kill logic
        (Command): factor out setup()
        (Command.sendStatus): don't send status if .running is false, this
        happens when the command has been halted.
        (Command.interrupt): new method, used to tell the command to die
        (SlaveShellCommand): implement .interrupt
        (DummyCommand): implement .interrupt
        (SourceBase, etc): factor out setup(), don't continue substeps if
        .interrupted is set

        * buildbot/status/builder.py: fix all waitUntilFinished() methods
        so they can be called after finishing

        * buildbot/test/test_run.py: new tests for disconnect behavior,
        refactor slave-shutdown routines, add different kinds of
        slave-shutdown

2004-11-27  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/status/words.py (IrcStatusBot.convertTime): utility
        method to express ETA time like "2m45s" instead of "165 seconds"

2004-11-24  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py (VC.testArch): unregister the test
        archive after the test completes, to avoid cluttering the user's
        'tla archives' listing with a bogus entry. Arch doesn't happen to
        provide any way to override the use of ~/.arch-params/, so there
        isn't a convenient way to avoid touching the setup of the user who
        runs the test.
        (VC_HTTP.testArchHTTP): same

2004-11-23  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/status/html.py (TextLog): split render() up into
        render_HEAD and render_GET. Use a Producer when sending log
        chunks, to reduce memory requirements and avoid sending huge
        non-Banana-able strings over web.distrib connections. Requires
        peeking under the covers of IStatusLog.
        (TextLog.resumeProducing): fix the "as text" link, handle client
        disconnects that occur while we're still sending old chunks.

        * buildbot/status/builder.py (HTMLLogFile.waitUntilFinished): oops,
        use defer.succeed, not the non-existent defer.success
        (LogFile.waitUntilFinished): same
        (LogFile.subscribe): don't add watchers to a finished logfile

        * buildbot/__init__.py (version): bump to 0.6.1+ while between
        releases

2004-11-23  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/__init__.py (version): Releasing buildbot-0.6.1

2004-11-23  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * NEWS: update for the 0.6.1 release
        * MANIFEST.in: add new files

        * README (INSTALLATION): explain how to enable the extra VC tests

        * buildbot/status/builder.py (LogFile): add .runEntries at the class
        level to, so old pickled builds can be displayed ok

2004-11-22  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * NEWS: summarize updates since last release

        * README (SLAVE): fix usage of 'buildbot slave' command. Thanks to
        Yoz Grahame. Closes SF#1050138.

        * docs/changes.xhtml (FreshCVSSourceNewcred): fix typo. Closes
        SF#1042563.

        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py (Trial): update docs a bit

        * docs/factories.xhtml: fix Trial factory docs to match reality.
        Closes: SF#1049758.

        * buildbot/process/factory.py (Trial.__init__): add args for
        randomly= and recurse=, making them available to instantiators
        instead of only to subclassers. Closes: SF#1049759.

2004-11-15  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/process/process_twisted.py (QuickTwistedBuildFactory):
        try to teach the Quick factory to use multiple versions of python

2004-11-12  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/status/builder.py (BuilderStatus.saveYourself): use a
        safer w32-compatible approach, and only use it on windows
        (BuildStatus.saveYourself): same

2004-11-11  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/status/builder.py (LogFile.addEntry): smarter way to do
        it: one string merge per chunk. There are now separate .entries
        and .runEntries lists: when enumerating over all chunks, make sure
        to look at both.
        * buildbot/test/test_status.py (Log): more tests

        * buildbot/status/builder.py (LogFile.addEntry): Merge string
        chunks together, up to 10kb per chunk. This ought to cut down on
        the CPU-burning overhead of large log files. Thanks to Alexander
        Staubo for spotting the problem.
        * buildbot/test/test_status.py (Log): tests for same

2004-11-10  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/status/mail.py (MailNotifier.buildMessage): add a Date
        header to outbound mail
        * buildbot/test/test_status.py (Mail.testBuild1): test for same

2004-11-08  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/status/builder.py (BuilderStatus.saveYourself): w32
        can't do os.rename() onto an existing file, so catch the exception
        and unlink the target file first. This introduces a slight window
        where the existing file could be lost, but the main failure case
        (disk full) should still be handled safely.
        (BuildStatus.saveYourself): same

        * buildbot/changes/pb.py (ChangePerspective): use a configurable
        separator character instead of os.sep, because the filenames being
        split here are coming from the VC system, which can have a
        different pathname convention than the local host. This should
        help a buildmaster running on windows that uses a CVS repository
        which runs under unix.
        * buildbot/changes/mail.py (MaildirSource): same, for all parsers

        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py (Trial.createSummary): survive
        when there are no test failures to be parsed

        * buildbot/scripts/runner.py (createMaster): use shutil.copy()
        instead of the unix-specific os.system("cp"), thanks to Elliot
        Murphy for this and the other buildbot-vs-windows catches.
        * buildbot/test/test_maildir.py (MaildirTest.deliverMail): same

        * contrib/windows/buildbot.bat: prefix a '@', apparently to not
        echo the command as it is run

        * setup.py: install sample.mk too, not just sample.cfg
        (scripts): install contrib/windows/buildbot.bat on windows

2004-11-07  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/process/builder.py (Builder._detached): clear the
        self.currentBuild reference, otherwise the next build will be
        skipped because we think the Builder is already in use.

        * docs/examples/twisted_master.cfg: update to match current usage
        on the Twisted buildbot

2004-10-29  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/status/mail.py (MailNotifier): fix typo in docs

2004-10-28  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (SourceBase): refactor subclasses to
        have separate doVCUpdate/doVCFull methods. Catch an update failure
        and respond by clobbering the source directory and re-trying. This
        will handle local changes (like replacing a file with a directory)
        that will cause CVS and SVN updates to fail.
        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py (SetupMixin.do_vc): test the same

        * buildbot/process/step.py (LoggedRemoteCommand.__repr__): avoid a
        python-2.4 warning

2004-10-19  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py (Trial.createSummary): bugfixes

        * buildbot/status/html.py (StatusResourceTestResults): display any
        TestResults that the Build might have
        (StatusResourceTestResult): and the logs for each TestResult
        (StatusResourceBuild): add link from the per-build page

2004-10-15  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py (Trial.createSummary): parse
        the 'problems' portion of stdout, add TestResults to our build
        * buildbot/test/test_twisted.py (Parse.testParse): test it

        * buildbot/interfaces.py (IBuildStatus.getTestResults): new method
        to retrieve a dict of accumulated test results
        (ITestResult): define what a single test result can do
        * buildbot/status/builder.py (TestResult): implement ITestResult
        (BuildStatus.getTestResults): retrieve dict of TestResults
        (BuildStatus.addTestResult): add TestResults
        * buildbot/test/test_status.py (Results.testAddResults): test it

2004-10-14  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/test/test_maildir.py (MaildirTest): use shutil.rmtree
        instead of os.system("rm -rf") for win32 portability

        * buildbot/test/test_slavecommand.py (SlaveCommandTestCase): use
        SignalMixin instead of starting/stopping the reactor, which is
        likely to cause problems with other tests

        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (SourceBase.doCopy): remove leftover
        self.copyComplete() call. Yoz Grahame makes the catch.

        * contrib/windows/buildbot.bat: helper script to deal with path
        issues. Thanks to Yoz Grahame.

        * buildbot/master.py (BuildMaster.startService): don't register a
        SIGHUP handler if the signal module has no SIGHUP attribute.
        Apparently win32 does this.

        * buildbot/scripts/runner.py (start): add --reactor=win32 on win32

        * buildbot/test/test_web.py (WebTest.test_webPathname): skip the
        test if the reactor can't offer UNIX sockets

        * buildbot/status/html.py (StatusResourceBuild.body): fix syntax
        error introduced in the last commit. We really need that
        metabuildbot :).

2004-10-12  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/changes/mail.py (MaildirSource.describe): fix exception
        when describing a maildir source. Thanks to Stephen Davis.

        * buildbot/status/words.py (IrcStatusBot.command_WATCH): round off
        ETA seconds

        * buildbot/scripts/runner.py (createMaster): install Makefile too
        (start): add --no_save to 'start' command
        * buildbot/scripts/sample.mk: simple convenience Makefile with 
        start/stop/reload targets

        * buildbot/__init__.py (version): bump to 0.6.0+ while between
        releases

2004-09-30  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * setup.py: Releasing buildbot-0.6.0

2004-09-30  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * MANIFEST.in: add debian/*, sample.cfg, more docs files. Remove
        test_trial.py from the source tarball until support is complete.

        * NEWS: update for 0.6.0 release
        * buildbot/__init__.py (version): same
        * README: same

        * buildbot/status/words.py (IrcStatusBot.command_SOURCE): add
        'source' command to tell users where to get the Buildbot source

        * docs/examples/*.cfg: update to modern standards

        * NEWS: update for release

        * buildbot/scripts/runner.py (createMaster): remove the
        -shutdown.tap stuff now that it isn't necessary
        (createSlave): same
        (start): launch buildbot.tap, not buildbot-shutdown.tap


        * buildbot/status/mail.py (Domain): shorten class name
        (MailNotifier): if lookup= is a string, pass it to Domain()
        * buildbot/test/test_status.py (Mail.testBuild1): new class name
        (Mail.testBuild2): test the string-to-Domain shortcut
        (Mail.testMail): fix test


        * buildbot/scripts/sample.cfg: improve the build-the-buildbot
        example config file

        * buildbot/status/builder.py (BuildStatus.__setstate__): re-set
        more attributes on load
        (BuilderStatus.stubBuildCacheSize): bump to 30, this was too low
        to accomodate the whole waterfall page at once, and the thrashing
        results in a lot of unnecessary loads
        (BuildStatus.saveYourself): use binary pickles, not fluffy text
        (BuilderStatus.saveYourself): same
        (BuilderStatus.eventGenerator): stop generating on the first missing
        build. We assume that saved builds are deleted oldest-first.
        (BuildStepStatus.__getstate__): .progress might not exist

        * buildbot/changes/changes.py (ChangeMaster): make it
        serializable, in $masterdir/changes.pck
        (ChangeMaster.stopService): save on shutdown
        * buildbot/master.py (BuildMaster.loadChanges): load at startup
        * buildbot/test/test_config.py: load Changes before config file


        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (ShellCommand.doTimeout): put the
        "Oh my god, you killed the command" header on a separate line

        * buildbot/status/builder.py (BuilderStatus.getStubBuildByNumber):
        skip over corrupted build pickles
        (BuilderStatus.getFullBuildByNumber): same
        (BuilderStatus.eventGenerator): skip over unavailable builds
        (BuildStatus.saveYourself): save builds to a .tmp file first, then
        do an atomic rename. This prevents a corrupted pickle when some
        internal serialization error occurs.
        (BuilderStatus.saveYourself): same

        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (SlaveShellCommand): oops, restore
        the timeout for shell commands, it got lost somehow

        * buildbot/status/builder.py (BuilderStatus.eventGenerator): if we
        run out of build steps, return the rest of the builder events

        * buildbot/interfaces.py (IBuilderControl.ping): add method

        * buildbot/process/builder.py (BuilderControl.ping): move
        slave-ping to BuilderControl, and fix the failure case in the
        process (Event.finish() is the verb, Event.finished is the noun).

        * buildbot/status/html.py (StatusResourceBuilder.ping): ping
        through the BuilderControl instead of the BuilderStatus
        (EventBox): add adapter for builder.Event, allowing builder events to
        be displayed in the waterfall display

        * buildbot/master.py (BotMaster.stopService): add a 'master
        shutdown' event to the builder's log
        (BuildMaster.startService): and a 'master started' on startup

        * buildbot/status/builder.py (BuilderStatus.eventGenerator): merge
        builder events into the BuildStep event stream
        (Status.builderAdded): add a 'builder created' event


        * buildbot/status/words.py (IrcStatusBot.command_WATCH): new
        command to announce the completion of a running build
        (IrcStatusBot.command_FORCE): announce when the build finishes

        * buildbot/status/builder.py (BuilderStatus.addFullBuildToCache):
        don't evict unfinished builds from the cache: they must stay in
        the full-cache until their logfiles have stopped changing. Make
        sure the eviction loop terminates if an unfinished build was hit.
        (HTMLLogFile.getTextWithHeaders): return HTML as if it were text.
        This lets exceptions be dumped in an email status message. Really
        we need LogFiles which contain both text and HTML, instead of two
        separate classes.
        (BuildStatus.__getstate__): handle self.finished=False
        (Status.builderAdded): if the pickle is corrupted, abandon the
        history and create a new BuilderStatus object.

        * buildbot/process/base.py (Build.stopBuild): tolerate lack of a
        self.progress attribute, helped one test which doesn't fully set
        up the Build object.

        * buildbot/interfaces.py (IStatusLogStub): split out some of the
        IStatusLog methods into an Interface that is implemented by "stub"
        logs, for which all the actual text chunks are on disk (in the
        pickled Build instance). To show the log contents, you must first
        adapt the stub log to a full IStatusLog object.

        * buildbot/status/builder.py (LogFileStub): create separate stub
        log objects, which can be upgraded to a real one if necessary.
        (LogFile): make them persistable, and let them stubify themselves
        (HTMLLogFile): same
        (BuildStepStatus): same
        (BuildStatus): same
        (BuildStatus.saveYourself): save the whole build out to disk
        (BuilderStatus): make it persistable
        (BuilderStatus.saveYourself): save the builder to disk
        (BuilderStatus.addFullBuildToCache): implement two caches which
        hold Build objects: a small one which holds full Builds, and a
        larger one which holds "stubbed" Builds (ones with their LogFiles
        turned into LogFileStubs). This reduces memory usage by the
        buildmaster by not keeping more than a few (default is 2) whole
        build logs in RAM all the time.
        (BuilderStatus.getBuild): rewrite to pull from disk (through the
        cache)
        (BuilderStatus.eventGenerator): rewrite since .builds went away
        (BuilderStatus.buildStarted): remove the .builds array. Add the
        build to the "full" cache when it starts.
        (BuilderStatus._buildFinished): save the build to disk when it
        finishes
        (Status): give it a basedir (same as the BuildMaster's basedir)
        where the builder pickles can be saved
        (Status.builderAdded): create the BuilderStatus ourselves, by
        loading a pickle from disk (or creating a new instance if there
        was none on disk). Return the BuilderStatus so the master can glue
        it into the new Builder object.

        * buildbot/master.py (BotMaster.stopService): on shutdown, tell
        all BuilderStatuses to save themselves out to disk. This is in
        lieu of saving anything important in the main Application pickle
         (the -shutdown.tap file).
        (BuildMaster.__init__): give Status() a basedir for its files
        (BuildMaster.loadConfig_Builders): do status.builderAdded first,
        to get the BuilderStatus, then give it to the Builder (instead of
        doing it the other way around). It's ok if the status announces
        the new Builder before it's really ready, as the outside world can
        only see the BuilderStatus object anyway (and it is ready before
        builderAdded returns). Use the builder's "builddir" (which
        normally specifies where the slave will run the builder) as the
        master's basedir (for saving serialized builds).

        * buildbot/status/html.py (StatusResourceBuildStep.getChild):
        coerce the logfile to IStatusLog before trying to get the text
        chunks out of it. This will pull the full (non-stubified) Build in
        from disk if necessary.
        (TextLog): fix the adapter registration

        * buildbot/test/test_control.py (Force.setUp): create the basedir
        * buildbot/test/test_web.py: same
        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py (SetupMixin.setUp): same
        * buildbot/test/test_status.py (Mail.makeBuild): match new setup
        * buildbot/test/test_run.py (Run.testMaster): same
        (Status.setUp): same

2004-09-29  Fred L. Drake, Jr.  <fdrake@acm.org>

        * buildbot/status/html.py (Waterfall.__init__): store actual
        allowForce flag passed in rather than using True for everyone;
        make sure setting it to False doesn't cause a NameError
        (Waterfall.setup).
        (StatusResourceBuilder.__init__) add the builder name to the page
        title.
        (StatusResourceBuilder.body) move HTML generation for a name/value
        row into a helper method (StatusResourceBuilder.make_row); only
        generate the "Force Build" form if allowForce was True and the
        slave is connected.  Use class attributes in the generated HTML to
        spread a little CSS-joy.

2004-09-28  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py (Trial.createSummary): fix
        warning-scanner to not ignore things like
        'ComponentsDeprecationWarning' and 'exceptions.RuntimeWarning'
 
        * buildbot/status/html.py (StatusResource.control): add some
        class-level values for .control in an attempt to make upgrading
        smoother

        * buildbot/util.py (ComparableMixin): survive missing attributes,
        such as when a class is modified and we're comparing old instances
        against new ones

        * buildbot/status/words.py (IrcStatusBot.privmsg): clean up
        failure handling, remove a redundant try/except block. Don't
        return the full traceback to the IRC channel.
        (IrcStatusBot.command_FORCE): catch new exceptions, return useful
        error messages. Get ETA properly.

        * buildbot/status/html.py (StatusResourceBuild.body): html.escape
        the reason, since (at least) IRC message will have <> in them.
        (StatusResourceBuilder.__init__): take an IBuilderControl
        (StatusResourceBuilder.force): use the IBuilderControl we get in
        the constructor instead of trying to make our own. Catch the
        new exceptions and ignore them for now (until we make an
        intermediate web page where we could show the error message)
        (StatusResource): create with an IControl, use it to give an
        IBuilderControl to all children
        (Waterfall): take an allowForce= option, pass an IControl object
        to StatusResource if it is True

        * buildbot/test/test_web.py (ConfiguredMaster): handle IControl

        * buildbot/master.py (BotPerspective.perspective_forceBuild):
        catch new exceptions and return string forms

        * buildbot/interfaces.py: add NoSlaveError, BuilderInUseError
        * buildbot/process/builder.py (Builder.forceBuild): raise them
        * buildbot/test/test_control.py (Force.testNoSlave): new test
        (Force.testBuilderInUse): same


        * buildbot/status/words.py (IrcStatusBot): enable build-forcing

        * buildbot/test/test_run.py: use IControl
        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py: same

        * buildbot/status/html.py (StatusResourceBuilder.force): rewrite
        to use IControl. Still offline.
        * buildbot/status/words.py (IrcStatusBot.command_FORCE): same

        * buildbot/process/builder.py (Builder.doPeriodicBuild): set
        who=None so periodic builds don't send out status mail
        (Builder.forceBuild): include reason in the log message
        (BuilderControl.forceBuild): rename 'name' to 'who'

        * buildbot/master.py (BotPerspective.perspective_forceBuild): add
        'who' parameter, but make it None by default so builds forced by
        slave admins don't cause status mail to be sent to anybody
        (BotMaster.forceBuild): same. this method is deprecated.
        (DebugPerspective.perspective_forceBuild): same, use IControl.
        (DebugPerspective.perspective_fakeChange): use IControl..
        (Dispatcher.requestAvatar): .. so don't set .changemaster

        * buildbot/interfaces.py (IBuilderControl.forceBuild): rename 'who'
        parameter to avoid confusion with the name of the builder


        * buildbot/status/mail.py: refine comment about needing 2.3

        * buildbot/status/html.py: move all imports to the top

        * buildbot/test/test_control.py: test new interfaces
        * buildbot/test/test_run.py (Status): handle new interfaces
        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py (SetupMixin.doBuild): same

        * buildbot/process/base.py (BuildControl): implement IBuildControl
        and its lonely getStatus() method

        * buildbot/process/builder.py (BuilderControl): implement
        IBuilderControl, obtained by adapting the Builder instance
        (Builder.startBuild): return a BuilderControl instead of a
        Deferred. The caller can use bc.getStatus().waitUntilFinished() to
        accomplish the same thing.

        * buildbot/master.py: move all import statements to the top
        (Control): implement IControl, obtained by adapting the
        BuildMaster instance.

        * buildbot/interfaces.py: add IControl, IBuilderControl, and
        IBuildControl. These are used to force builds. Eventually they
        will provide ways to reconfigure the Builders, pause or abandon a
        Build, and perhaps control the BuildMaster itself.

2004-09-26  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/util.py (ComparableMixin): survive twisted>1.3.0 which
        ends up comparing us against something without a .__class__

2004-09-24  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/scripts/runner.py: rearrange option parsing a lot, to get
        usage text right.

        * Makefile: add 'deb-snapshot' target, to create a timestamped
        .deb package

        * debian/rules (binary-indep): skip CVS/ files in dh_installexamples

2004-09-23  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/__init__.py (version): move version string here
        * setup.py: get version string from buildbot.version
        * buildbot/status/html.py (WaterfallStatusResource.body): add
        buildbot version to the page footer
        * buildbot/status/words.py (IrcStatusBot.command_VERSION): provide
        version when asked

        * buildbot/master.py (BotMaster.getPerspective): detect duplicate
        slaves, let the second know where the first one is coming from
        (BuildMaster.__init__): turn on .unsafeTracebacks so the slave can
        see our exceptions. It would be nice if there were a way to just
        send them the exception type and value, not the full traceback.


        * buildbot/status/mail.py (MailNotifier): add a new argument
        sendToInterestedUsers=, which can be set to False to disable the
        usual send-to-blamelist behavior.
        (top): handle python-2.2 which has no email.MIMEMultipart
        (MailNotifier.buildMessage): don't send logs without MIMEMultipart
        (MailNotifier.disownServiceParent): unsubscribe on removal

        * buildbot/test/test_status.py (Mail.testBuild2): test it


        * buildbot/status/progress.py (Expectations.wavg): tolerate
        current=None, which happens when steps start failing badly
        * buildbot/test/test_status.py (Progress.testWavg): test for it

        * buildbot/process/step.py (SVN.startVC): when the (old) slave
        doesn't understand args['revision'], emit a warning instead of
        bailing completely. Updating to -rHEAD is probably close enough.

        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py (Trial.start): fix sanity-check

        * buildbot/test/test_status.py: at least import bb.status.client
        even if we don't have any test coverage for it yet

        * contrib/svn_buildbot.py: don't require python2.3
        (main): wait, do require it (for sets.py), but explain how to
        make it work under python2.2

2004-09-23  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * contrib/svn_buildbot.py: include the revision number in the Change

        * buildbot/changes/freshcvs.py (FreshCVSSourceNewcred): use when=,
        using util.now() because FreshCVS is a realtime service

        * buildbot/status/event.py: delete dead code
        * buildbot/process/step.py: don't import dead Event class
        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py: same
        * buildbot/status/builder.py: same
        * buildbot/status/client.py: same

        * buildbot/test/test_process.py: kill buggy out-of-date disabled test

        * buildbot/changes/changes.py (Change): set .when from an __init__
        argument (which defaults to now()), rather than having
        ChangeMaster.addChange set it later.
        (ChangeMaster.addChange): same

        * buildbot/changes/mail.py (parseFreshCVSMail): pass in when=
        (parseSyncmail): same. Just use util.now() for now.
        (parseBonsaiMail): parse the timestamp field for when=

        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py (SourceStamp.addChange): page in when=
        instead of setting .when after the fact

2004-09-22  slyphon

        * buildbot/slave/trial.py: new SlaveCommand to machine-parse test
        results when the target project uses retrial. Still under
        development.
        * buildbot/test/test_trial.py: same

2004-09-21  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/status/mail.py (MailNotifier.__init__): include
        success/warnings/failure in the Subject line
        (MailNotifier.buildMessage): add the buildbot's URL to the body,
        use step.logname for the addLogs=True attachment filenames
        * buildbot/test/test_status.py (Mail): test Subject lines
        (Mail.testLogs): test attachment filenames

        * buildbot/master.py (DebugPerspective.perspective_fakeChange):
        accept a 'who' argument from the debug tool
        * contrib/debugclient.py (DebugWidget.do_commit): send 'who'
        * contrib/debug.glade: add text box to set 'who'

        * buildbot/interfaces.py (IBuildStatus.getBuilder): replace
        .getBuilderName with .getBuilder().getName(), more flexible
        (IStatusLog.getName): logs have short names, but you can prefix
        them with log.getStep().getName() to make them more useful
        * buildbot/status/builder.py: same
        * buildbot/status/client.py: same
        * buildbot/status/html.py: same
        * buildbot/test/test_run.py (Status.testSlave): same
        * buildbot/process/step.py: tweak logfile names

        * buildbot/status/mail.py (MailNotifier): add lookup, change
        argument to extraRecipients. The notifier is now aimed at sending
        mail to the people involved in a particular build, with additional
        constant recipients as a secondary function.

        * buildbot/test/test_status.py: add coverage for IEmailLookup,
        including slow-lookup and failing-lookup. Make sure the blamelist
        members are included.

        * buildbot/interfaces.py: new interfaces IEmailSender+IEmailLookup
        (IBuildStatus.getResponsibleUsers): rename from getBlamelist
        (IBuildStatus.getInterestedUsers): new method
        * buildbot/status/builder.py (BuildStatus.getResponsibleUsers): same
        * buildbot/status/client.py (remote_getResponsibleUsers): same
        * buildbot/status/html.py (StatusResourceBuild.body): same
        * buildbot/test/test_run.py (Status.testSlave): same

2004-09-20  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * docs/users.xhtml: update concepts

        * Makefile: add a convenience makefile, for things like 'make
        test'. It is not included in the source tarball.

2004-09-16  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * NEWS: mention /usr/bin/buildbot, debian/*

        * debian/*: add preliminary debian packaging. Many thanks to
        Kirill Lapshin (and Kevin Turner) for the hard work. I've mangled
        it considerably since it left their hands, I am responsible for
        all breakage that's resulted.

        * bin/buildbot: create a top-level 'buildbot' command, to be
        installed in /usr/bin/buildbot . For now it's just a simple
        frontend to mktap/twistd/kill, but eventually it will be the entry
        point to the 'try' command and also a status client. It is also
        intended to support the upcoming debian-packaging init.d scripts.
        * buildbot/scripts/runner.py: the real work is done here
        * buildbot/scripts/__init__.py: need this too
        * buildbot/scripts/sample.cfg: this is installed in new
        buildmaster directories
        * setup.py: install new stuff

2004-09-15  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py: skip SVN tests if svn can't handle the
        'file:' schema (the version shipped with OS-X was built without the
        ra_local plugin).
        (SetupMixin.tearDown): stop the goofy twisted.web timer which
        updates the log-timestamp, to make sure it isn't still running after
        the test finishes

        * docs/config.xhtml: Add projectName, projectURL, buildbotURL
        values to the config file.
        * docs/examples/hello.cfg: add examples
        * buildbot/interfaces.py (IStatus.getBuildbotURL): define accessors
        * buildbot/status/builder.py (Status.getProjectURL): implement them
        * buildbot/master.py (BuildMaster.loadConfig): set them from config
        * buildbot/test/test_config.py (ConfigTest.testSimple): test them
        * buildbot/status/html.py (WaterfallStatusResource): display them


        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py (FakeBuilder.name): add attribute so
        certain error cases don't suffer a secondary exception.
        (top): Skip tests if the corresponding VC tool is not installed.

        * buildbot/process/factory.py (Trial): introduce separate
        'buildpython' and 'trialpython' lists, since trialpython=[] is
        what you want to invoke /usr/bin/python, whereas ./setup.py is
        less likely to be executable. Add env= parameter to pass options
        to test cases (which is how I usually write tests, I don't know if
        anyone else does it this way).

        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py (Trial): handle python=None.
        Require 'testpath' be a string, not a list. Fix tests= typo.
        (Trial.start): sanity-check any PYTHONPATH value for stringness.

        * buildbot/process/step.py (RemoteCommand._remoteFailed): goofy
        way to deal with the possibility of removing the disconnect notify
        twice.
        (CVS): add a 'login' parameter to give a password to 'cvs login',
        commonly used with pserver methods (where pw="" or pw="guest")

        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (SourceBase): move common args
        extraction and setup() to __init__, so everything is ready by the
        time setup() is called
        (CVS.start): call 'cvs login' if a password was supplied
        (ShellCommand): special-case PYTHONPATH: prepend the master's
        value to any existing slave-local value.

        * buildbot/process/builder.py (Builder.updateBigStatus): if we
        don't have a remote, mark the builder as Offline. This whole
        function should probably go away and be replaced by individual
        deltas.
        (Builder.buildFinished): return the results to the build-finished
        deferred callback, helps with testing

2004-09-14  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py: put all the repositories needed to run
        the complete tests into a single small (1.3MB) tarball, so I can
        make that tarball available on the buildbot web site. Test HTTP
        access (for Arch and Darcs) by spawning a temporary web server
        while the test runs.

        * docs/users.xhtml: new document, describe Buildbot's limited
        understanding of different human users

        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py: rearrange test cases a bit

        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py (Trial): handle testpath=
        * buildbot/process/factory.py (Trial): update to use step.Trial

        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (ShellCommandPP): fix fatal typo

        * buildbot/status/builder.py (BuildStatus.getText): add text2 to
        the overall build text (which gives you 'failed 2 tests' rather
        than just 'failed')
        (BuildStepStatus.text2): default to [], not None

        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py (Trial.commandComplete): text2
        must be a list

2004-09-12  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/master.py (BotPerspective._commandsUnavailable): don't
        log the whole exception if it's just an AttributeError (old slave)

        * buildbot/process/step.py (ShellCommand.__init__): stash .workdir
        so (e.g.) sub-commands can be run in the right directory.
        (ShellCommand.start): accept an optional errorMessage= argument
        to make life easier for SVN.start
        (SVN.startVC): put the "can't do mode=export" warning in the LogFile
        headers
        (ShellCommand.start): move ['dir'] compatibility hack..
        (RemoteShellCommand.start): .. to here so everyone can use it

        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py (Trial): use .workdir

        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py (BuildDebs.getText): fix the
        text displayed when debuild fails completely
        (Trial): snarf _trial_temp/test.log from the slave and display it

2004-09-11  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py (ProcessDocs.getText): typo

        * buildbot/process/process_twisted.py (TwistedTrial.tests): oops,
        set to 'twisted', so --recurse can find twisted/web/test/*, etc

        * buildbot/process/step.py (ShellCommand): call .createSummary
        before .evaluateCommand instead of the other way around. This
        makes it slightly easier to count warnings and then use that to
        set results=WARNINGS
        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py: cosmetic, swap the methods

        * buildbot/process/base.py (Build.buildFinished): update status
        before doing progress. It's embarrassing for the build to be stuck
        in the "building" state when an exceptions occurs elsewhere..

        * buildbot/status/progress.py (Expectations.expectedBuildTime):
        python2.2 doesn't have 'sum'

        * buildbot/status/builder.py (Status.getBuilderNames): return a copy,
        to prevent clients from accidentally sorting it

        * buildbot/master.py (Manhole): add username/password
        (BuildMaster.loadConfig): use c['manhole']=Manhole() rather than
        c['manholePort'], deprecate old usage
        * docs/config.xhtml: document c['manhole']
        * docs/examples/hello.cfg: show example of using a Manhole


        * buildbot/test/test_steps.py (FakeBuilder.getSlaveCommandVersion):
        pretend the slave is up to date

        * buildbot/status/builder.py (BuildStepStatus.stepFinished): 'log',
        the module, overlaps with 'log', the local variable

        * buildbot/status/html.py: oops, 2.2 needs __future__ for generators

        * buildbot/process/builder.py (Builder.getSlaveCommandVersion):
        new method to let Steps find out the version of their
        corresponding SlaveCommand.
        * buildbot/process/step.py (BuildStep.slaveVersion): utility method
        (ShellCommand.start): add 'dir' argument for <=0.5.0 slaves
        (CVS.startVC): backwards compatibility for <=0.5.0 slaves
        (SVN.startVC): same
        (Darcs.startVC): detect old slaves (missing the 'darcs' command)
        (Arch.startVC): same
        (P4Sync.startVC): same

        * buildbot/process/step.py (LoggedRemoteCommand.start): return the
        Deferred so we can catch errors in remote_startCommand
        (RemoteShellCommand.start): same

        * docs/examples/twisted_master.cfg: update sample config file

        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (ShellCommandPP): write to stdin
        after connectionMade() is called, not before. Close stdin at that
        point too.

        * buildbot/process/process_twisted.py: update to use Trial, clean
        up argument passing (move to argv arrays instead of string
        commands)

        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py (Trial): new step to replace
        RunUnitTests, usable by any trial-using project (not just
        Twisted). Arguments have changed, see the docstring for details.

        * buildbot/process/base.py (Build.startBuild): this now returns a
        Deferred. Exceptions that occur during setupBuild are now
        caught better and lead to fewer build_status weirdnesses, like
        finishing a build that was never started.
        (Build.buildFinished): fire the Deferred instead of calling
        builder.buildFinished directly. The callback argument is this
        Build, everything else can be extracted from it, including the
        new build.results attribute.
        * buildbot/process/builder.py (Builder.startBuild): same
        (Builder.buildFinished): same, extract results from build

        * buildbot/process/step.py (ShellCommands): remove dead code

2004-09-08  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py (VC.doPatch): verify that a new build
        doesn't try to use the leftover patched workdir
        (SourceStamp): test source-stamp computation for CVS and SVN

        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (SourceBase.doPatch): mark the
        patched workdir ('touch .buildbot-patched') so we don't try to
        update it later
        (SourceBase.start): add ['revision'] for all Source steps
        (CVS): change args: use ['branch'] for -r, remove ['files']
        (CVS.buildVC): fix revision/branch stuff
        (SVN): add revision stuff

        * buildbot/process/step.py (BuildStep.__init__): reject unknown
        kwargs (except 'workdir') to avoid silent spelling errors
        (ShellCommand.__init__): same
        (Source): new base class for CVS/SVN/etc. Factor out everything
        common, add revision computation (perform the checkout with a -D
        DATE or -r REVISION that gets exactly the sources described by the
        last Change), overridable with step.alwaysUseLatest. Add patch
        handling (build.getSourceStamp can trigger the use of a base
        revision and a patch).
        (CVS, SVN, Darcs, Arch, P4Sync): refactor, remove leftover arguments
        * docs/steps.xhtml: update docs
        * docs/source.xhtml: mention .checkoutDelay
        * docs/examples/hello.cfg: show use of checkoutDelay, alwaysUseLatest

        * buildbot/process/base.py (Build.setSourceStamp): add a
        .sourceStamp attribute to each Build. If set, this indicates that
        the build should be done with something other than the most
        recent source tree. This will be used to implement "try" builds.
        (Build.allChanges): new support method
        (Build.lastChangeTime): remove, functionality moved to Source steps
        (Build.setupBuild): copy the Step args before adding ['workdir'],
        to avoid modifying the BuildFactory (and thus triggering spurious
        config changes)


        * buildbot/status/html.py: rename s/commits/changes/
        (StatusResourceChanges): same
        (CommitBox.getBox): same, update URL
        (WaterfallStatusResource): same
        (StatusResource.getChild): same

        * contrib/debugclient.py (DebugWidget.do_commit): send .revision
        * contrib/debug.glade: add optional 'revision' to the fakeChange

        * buildbot/changes/changes.py (html_tmpl): display .revision
        (ChangeMaster.addChange): note .revision in log
        * buildbot/changes/pb.py (ChangePerspective.perspective_addChange):
        accept a ['revision'] attribute

        * buildbot/process/factory.py (BuildFactory): use ComparableMixin

        * buildbot/master.py (BotMaster.getPerspective): update the
        .connected flag in SlaveStatus when it connects
        (BotMaster.detach): and when it disconnects
        (DebugPerspective.perspective_fakeChange): take a 'revision' attr
        (BuildMaster.loadConfig_Builders): walk old list correctly

        * buildbot/test/test_config.py: fix prefix= usage

2004-09-06  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * NEWS: mention P4

        * buildbot/changes/p4poller.py (P4Source): New ChangeSource to
        poll a P4 depot looking for recent changes. Thanks to Dave
        Peticolas for the contribution. Probably needs some testing after
        I mangled it.

        * buildbot/process/step.py (P4Sync): simple P4 source-updater,
        requires manual client setup for each buildslave. Rather
        experimental. Thanks again to Dave Peticolas.
        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (P4Sync): slave-side source-updater

        * buildbot/changes/changes.py (Change): add a .revision attribute,
        which will eventually be used to generate source-stamp values.

        * buildbot/process/step.py (RemoteCommand.start): use
        notifyOnDisconnect to notice when we lose the slave, then treat it
        like an exception. This allows LogFiles to be closed and the build
        to be wrapped up normally. Be sure to remove the disconnect
        notification when the step completes so we don't accumulate a
        bazillion such notifications which will fire weeks later (when the
        slave finally disconnects normally). Fixes SF#915807, thanks to
        spiv (Andrew Bennetts) for the report.
        (LoggedRemoteCommand): move __init__ code to RemoteCommand, since it
        really isn't Logged- specific
        (LoggedRemoteCommand.remoteFailed): Add an extra newline to the
        header, since it's almost always going to be appended to an
        incomplete line
        * buildbot/test/test_steps.py (BuildStep.testShellCommand1):
        update test to handle use of notifyOnDisconnect

        * buildbot/status/builder.py (BuilderStatus.currentlyOffline):
        don't clear .ETA and .currentBuild when going offline, let the
        current build clean up after itself

        * buildbot/process/builder.py (Builder.detached): wait a moment
        before doing things like stopping the current build, because the
        current step will probably notice the disconnect and cleanup the
        build by itself
        * buildbot/test/test_run.py (Status.tearDown): update test to
        handle asynchronous build-detachment

        * buildbot/process/base.py (Build.stopBuild): minor shuffles

        * buildbot/status/html.py (WaterfallStatusResource.buildGrid):
        hush a debug message

2004-09-05  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/changes/maildir.py (Maildir.start): catch an IOError
        when the dnotify fcntl() fails and fall back to polling. Linux 2.2
        kernels do this: the fcntl module has the F_NOTIFY constant, but
        the kernel itself doesn't support the operation. Thanks to Olly
        Betts for spotting the problem.

        * buildbot/process/step.py (Darcs): new source-checkout command
        (Arch): new source-checkout command
        (todo_P4): fix constructor syntax, still just a placeholder
        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py (VC.testDarcs): test it
        (VC.testDarcsHTTP): same, via localhost HTTP
        (VC.testArch): same
        (VC.testArchHTTP): same
        * NEWS: mention new features

        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (ShellCommand): add .keepStdout,
        which tells the step to stash stdout text locally (in .stdout).
        Slave-side Commands can use this to make decisions based upon the
        output of the the ShellCommand (not just the exit code).
        (Darcs): New source-checkout command
        (Arch): New source-checkout command, uses .keepStdout in one place
        where it needs to discover the archive's default name.

        * docs/steps.xhtml: Document options taken by Darcs and Arch.
        * docs/source.xhtml: add brief descriptions of Darcs and Arch
        * docs/examples/hello.cfg: add examples of Darcs and Arch checkout

        * buildbot/process/step.py (ShellCommand.describe): add an
        alternate .descriptionDone attribute which provides descriptive
        text when the step is complete. .description can be ["compiling"],
        for use while the step is running, then .descriptionDone can be
        ["compile"], used alone when the step succeeds or with "failed" when
        it does not. Updated other steps to use the new text.
        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py: same
        * buildbot/test/test_run.py: update tests to match

2004-08-30  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/process/step.py (ShellCommand.createSummary): fix docs
        (CVS.__init__): send 'patch' argument to slave
        (CVS.start): don't create the LoggedRemoteCommand until start(),
        so we can catch a .patch added after __init__
        (SVN.__init__): add 'patch' to SVN too
        (SVN.start): same

        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (ShellCommand): add a 'stdin'
        argument, to let commands push data into the process' stdin pipe.
        Move usePTY to a per-instance attribute, and clear it if 'stdin'
        is in use, since closing a PTY doesn't really affect the process
        in the right way (in particular, I couldn't run /usr/bin/patch
        under a pty).
        (SourceBase.doPatch): handle 'patch' argument

        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py (VC.doPatch): test 'patch' argument for
        both CVS and SVN

        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (cvs_ver): fix version-parsing goo
        * buildbot/slave/bot.py (Bot.remote_getCommands): send command
        versions to master
        * buildbot/master.py (BotPerspective.got_commands): get command
        versions from slave, give to each builder
        * buildbot/process/builder.py (Builder.attached): stash slave
        command versions in .remoteCommands

        * docs/steps.xhtml: bring docs in-line with reality

        * buildbot/process/step.py (CVS.__init__): more brutal
        compatibility code removal
        (SVN.__init__): same

        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (SlaveShellCommand): update docs
        (SlaveShellCommand.start): require ['workdir'] argument, remove
        the ['dir'] fallback (compatibility will come later)
        (SourceBase): update docs
        (SourceBase.start): remove ['directory'] fallback
        (CVS): update docs
        (SVN): update docs
        * buildbot/test/test_config.py (ConfigTest.testBuilders): update test
        * buildbot/test/test_steps.py (BuildStep.testShellCommand1): same
        * buildbot/test/test_slavecommand.py (SlaveCommandTestCase): same

        * buildbot/process/step.py (RemoteShellCommand.__init__): add
        want_stdout/want_stderr. remove old 'dir' keyword (to simplify the
        code.. I will figure out 0.5.0-compatibility hooks later)

2004-08-30  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/process/process_twisted.py: rewrite in terms of new
        BuildFactory base class. It got significantly shorter. Yay
        negative code days.

        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py (HLint.start): fix to make it
        work with the new "self.build isn't nailed down until we call
        step.start()" scheme: specifically, __init__ is called before the
        build has decided on which Changes are going in, so we don't scan
        build.allFiles() for .xhtml files until start()
        (HLint.commandComplete): use getText(), not getStdout()
        (RunUnitTests.start): same: don't use .build until start()
        (RunUnitTests.describe): oops, don't report (None) when using
        the default reactor
        (RunUnitTests.commandComplete): use getText()
        (RunUnitTests.createSummary): same
        (BuildDebs.commandComplete): same

        * buildbot/process/step.py (RemoteShellCommand.__init__): don't
        set args['command'] until start(), since our BuildStep is allowed
        to change their mind up until that point
        (TreeSize.commandComplete): use getText(), not getStdout()

        * docs/examples/twisted_master.cfg: update to current standards

        * docs/factories.xhtml: update
        * buildbot/process/factory.py: implement all the common factories
        described in the docs. The Trial factory doesn't work yet, and
        I've probably broken all the process_twisted.py factories in the
        process. There are compatibility classes left in for things like
        the old BasicBuildFactory, but subclasses of them are unlikely to
        work.
        * docs/examples/glib_master.cfg: use new BuildFactories
        * docs/examples/hello.cfg: same

        * buildbot/test/test_config.py (ConfigTest.testBuilders): remove
        explicit 'workdir' args

        * buildbot/process/base.py (BuildFactory): move factories to ..
        * buildbot/process/factory.py (BuildFactory): .. here
        * buildbot/process/process_twisted.py: handle move
        * buildbot/test/test_config.py: same
        * buildbot/test/test_run.py: same
        * buildbot/test/test_steps.py: same
        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py: same
        * docs/factories.xhtml: same

        * NEWS: mention config changes that require updating master.cfg

        * buildbot/process/base.py (Build.setupBuild): add a 'workdir'
        argument to all steps that weren't given one already, pointing at
        the "build/" directory.

        * docs/examples/hello.cfg: remove explicit 'workdir' args

        * docs/factories.xhtml: document standard BuildFactory clases,
        including a bunch which are have not yet been written

2004-08-29  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/interfaces.py (IBuildStepStatus.getResults): move
        result constants (SUCCESS, WARNINGS, FAILURE, SKIPPED) to
        buildbot.status.builder so they aren't quite so internal
        * buildbot/process/base.py, buildbot/process/builder.py: same
        * buildbot/process/maxq.py, buildbot/process/step.py: same
        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py, buildbot/status/builder.py: same
        * buildbot/status/mail.py, buildbot/test/test_run.py: same
        * buildbot/test/test_status.py, buildbot/test/test_vc.py: same

        * buildbot/status/html.py (StatusResourceBuildStep): oops, update
        to handle new getLogs()-returns-list behavior
        (StatusResourceBuildStep.getChild): same
        (StepBox.getBox): same
        (WaterfallStatusResource.phase0): same

        * docs/source.xhtml: document how Buildbot uses version-control
        systems (output side: how we get source trees)
        * docs/changes.xhtml: rename from sources.xhtml, documents VC
        systems (input side: how we learn about Changes)

        * buildbot/master.py (Manhole): use ComparableMixin
        * buildbot/changes/freshcvs.py (FreshCVSSourceNewcred): same
        * buildbot/changes/mail.py (MaildirSource): same
        * buildbot/status/client.py (PBListener): same
        * buildbot/status/html.py (Waterfall): same
        * buildbot/status/words.py (IRC): same

        * NEWS: start describing new features

        * buildbot/status/mail.py (MailNotifier): finish implementation.
        The message body is still a bit sparse.
        * buildbot/test/test_status.py (Mail): test it

        * buildbot/util.py (ComparableMixin): class to provide the __cmp__
        and __hash__ methods I wind up adding everywhere. Specifically
        intended to support the buildbot config-file update scheme where
        we compare, say, the old list of IStatusTargets against the new
        one and don't touch something which shows up on both lists.
        * buildbot/test/test_util.py (Compare): test case for it

        * buildbot/interfaces.py (IBuildStatus): change .getLogs() to
        return a list instead of a dict
        (IBuildStepStatus.getLogs): same. The idea is that steps create
        logs with vaguely unique names (although their uniqueness is not
        guaranteed). Thus a compilation step should create its sole
        logfile with the name 'compile', and contribute it to the
        BuildStatus. If a step has two logfiles, try to create them with
        different names (like 'test.log' and 'test.summary'), and only
        contribute the important ones to the overall BuildStatus.
        * buildbot/status/builder.py (Event.getLogs): same
        (BuildStepStatus): fix default .text and .results
        (BuildStepStatus.addLog): switch to list-like .getLogs()
        (BuildStepStatus.stepFinished): same
        (BuildStatus.text): fix default .text
        (BuildStatus.getLogs): temporary hack to return all logs (from all
        child BuildStepStatus objects). Needs to be fixed to only report
        the significant ones (as contributed by the steps themselves)
        * buildbot/test/test_run.py: handle list-like .getLogs()
        * buildbot/test/test_steps.py (BuildStep.testShellCommand1): same

2004-08-28  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/process/builder.py (Builder.attached): serialize the
        attachment process, so the attach-watcher isn't called until the
        slave is really available. Add detached watchers too, which makes
        testing easier.

        * buildbot/test/test_vc.py: test VC modes (clobber/update/etc)

        * buildbot/test/test_swap.py: remove dead code

        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (ShellCommandPP): add debug messages
        (ShellCommand.start): treat errors in _startCommand/spawnProcess
        sort of as if the command being run exited with a -1. There may
        still be some holes in this scheme.
        (CVSCommand): add 'revision' tag to the VC commands, make sure the
        -r option appears before the module list
        * buildbot/process/step.py (CVS): add 'revision' argument

        * buildbot/slave/bot.py (SlaveBuilder._ackFailed): catch failures
        when sending updates or stepComplete messages to the master, since
        we don't currently care whether they arrive or not. When we revamp
        the master/slave protocol to really resume interrupted builds,
        this will need revisiting.
        (lostRemote): remove spurious print

        * buildbot/master.py (BotPerspective.attached): serialize the
        new-builder interrogation process, to make testing easier
        (BotMaster.waitUntilBuilderDetached): convenience function

        * buildbot/status/builder.py (BuilderStatus): prune old builds
        (BuildStatus.pruneSteps): .. and steps
        (BuildStepStatus.pruneLogs): .. and logs
        (BuilderStatus.getBuild): handle missing builds
        * buildbot/status/html.py (StatusResourceBuild.body): display build
        status in the per-build page
        (BuildBox.getBox): color finished builds in the per-build box

2004-08-27  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/status/mail.py (MailNotifier): new notification class,
        not yet finished

        * buildbot/slave/commands.py (SourceBase): refactor SVN and CVS into
        variants of a common base class which handles all the mode= logic

        * buildbot/interfaces.py (IBuildStatus.getPreviousBuild): add
        convenience method
        * buildbot/status/builder.py (BuildStatus.getPreviousBuild): same

2004-08-26  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/test/test_slavecommand.py: accomodate new slavecommand
        interfaces

        * buildbot/test/test_run.py: update to new Logfile interface, new
        buildbot.slave modules
        * buildbot/test/test_steps.py: same, remove Swappable, add timeouts

        * MANIFEST.in: new sample config file
        * docs/examples/hello.cfg: same

        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py: remove dead import

        * buildbot/process/step.py (RemoteCommand.run): catch errors
        during .start
        (RemoteCommand.remote_update): ignore updates that arrive after
        we've shut down
        (RemoteCommand.remote_complete): ignore duplicate complete msgs
        (RemoteCommand._remoteComplete): cleanup failure handling, reduce
        the responsibilities of the subclass's methods
        (BuildStep.failed): catch errors during failure processing
        (BuildStep.addHTMLLog): provide all-HTML logfiles (from Failures)
        (CVS): move to a mode= argument (described in docstring), rather
        than the ungainly clobber=/export=/copydir= combination.
        (SVN): add mode= functionality to SVN too
        (todo_Darcs, todo_Arch, todo_P4): placeholders for future work

        * buildbot/process/base.py (Build.startNextStep): catch errors
        during s.startStep()

        * buildbot/clients/base.py: update to new PB client interface.
        gtkPanes is still broken

        * buildbot/bot.py, buildbot/slavecommand.py: move to..
        * buildbot/slave/bot.py, buildbot/slave/commands.py: .. new directory
        * setup.py: add buildbot.slave module
        * buildbot/bb_tap.py: handle move
        * buildbot/slave/registry.py: place to register commands, w/versions
        * buildbot/slave/bot.py: major simplifications
        (SlaveBuilder.remote_startCommand): use registry for slave commands,
        instead of a fixed table. Eventually this will make the slave more
        extensible. Use 'start' method on the command, not .startCommand.
        Fix unsafeTracebacks handling (I think).
        * buildbot/slave/commands.py: major cleanup. ShellCommand is now a
        helper class with a .start method that returns a Deferred.
        SlaveShellCommand is the form reached by the buildmaster. Commands
        which use multiple ShellCommands can just chain them as Deferreds,
        with some helper methods in Command (_abandonOnFailure and
        _checkAbandoned) to bail on rc!=0.
        (CVSCommand): prefer new mode= argument
        (SVNFetch): add mode= argument

        * buildbot/master.py (DebugPerspective.perspective_forceBuild):
        put a useful reason string on the build

        * buildbot/status/builder.py (LogFile): do LogFile right: move the
        core functionality into an IStatusLog object
        (BuildStatus.sendETAUpdate): don't send empty build-eta messages
        * buildbot/status/html.py (TextLog): HTML-rendering goes here
        (StatusResourceBuild.body): use proper accessor methods
        * buildbot/status/client.py (RemoteLog): PB-access goes here
        (StatusClientPerspective.perspective_subscribe): add "full" mode,
        which delivers log contents too
        (PBListener.__cmp__): make PBListeners comparable, thus removeable
        * buildbot/status/event.py: remove old Logfile completely

        * buildbot/interfaces.py (IStatusLog.subscribe): make the
        subscription interface for IStatusLog subscriptions just like all
        other the status subscriptions
        (IStatusReceiver.logChunk): method called on subscribers

2004-08-24  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/process/builder.py (Builder._pong): oops, ping response
        includes a result (the implicit None returned by remote_print).
        Accept it so the _pong method handles the response correctly.

2004-08-06  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/test/test_config.py: update IRC, PBListener tests

        * buildbot/status/client.py (StatusClientPerspective): total
        rewrite to match new IStatus interfaces. New subscription scheme.
        There are still a few optimizations to make (sending down extra
        information with event messages so the client doesn't have to do a
        round trip). The logfile-retrieval code is probably still broken.
        Moved the PB service into its own port, you can no longer share a
        TCP socket between a PBListener and, say, the slaveport (this
        should be fixed eventually).
        * buildbot/clients/base.py (Client): revamp to match. still needs
        a lot of work, but basic event reporting works fine. gtkPanes is
        completely broken.

        * buildbot/status/words.py (IRC): move to c['status']. Each IRC
        instance talks to a single irc server. Threw out all the old
        multi-server handling code. Still need to add back in
        builder-control (i.e. "force build")

        * buildbot/status/html.py (StatusResourceBuildStep.body): add some
        more random text to the as-yet-unreachable per-step page

        * buildbot/status/builder.py (BuildStepStatus.sendETAUpdate):
        rename to stepETAUpdate
        (BuildStatus.subscribe): add build-wide ETA updates
        (BuilderStatus.getState): remove more cruft
        (BuilderStatus.getCurrentBuild): remove more cruft
        (BuilderStatus.buildStarted): really handle tuple-subscription
        * buildbot/test/test_run.py (Status.testSlave): handle the
        stepETAUpdate rename

        * buildbot/master.py (BuildMaster): don't add a default
        StatusClientService. Don't add a default IrcStatusFactory. Both
        are now added through c['status'] in the config file. c['irc'] is
        accepted for backwards compatibility, the only quirk is you cannot
        use c['irc'] to specify IRC servers on ports other than 6667.

        * buildbot/interfaces.py (IBuildStatus.getCurrentStep): add method
        (IStatusReceiver.buildStarted): allow update-interval on subscribe
        (IStatusReceiver.buildETAUpdate): send build-wide ETA updates
        (IStatusReceiver.stepETAUpdate): rename since it's step-specific


        * buildbot/master.py (BuildMaster.startService): SIGHUP now causes
        the buildmaster to re-read its config file


        * buildbot/test/test_web.py (test_webPortnum): need a new hack to
        find out the port our server is running on
        (WebTest.test_webPathname_port): same

        * buildbot/test/test_config.py (testWebPortnum): test it
        (testWebPathname): ditto

        * docs/config.xhtml: document new c['status'] configuration option

        * buildbot/status/html.py (Waterfall): new top-level class which
        can be added to c['status']. This creates the Site as well as the
        necessary TCPServer/UNIXServer. It goes through the BuildMaster,
        reachable as .parent, for everything.

        * buildbot/master.py (Manhole): make it a normal service Child
        (BuildMaster.loadConfig_status): c['status'] replaces webPortnum and
        webPathname. It will eventually replace c['irc'] and the implicit
        PB listener as well. c['webPortnum'] and c['webPathname'] are left
        in as (deprecated) backward compatibility hooks for now.


        * buildbot/process/builder.py (Builder.buildFinished): don't
        inform out builder_status about a finished build, as it finds out
        through its child BuildStatus object

        * buildbot/status/html.py: extensive revamp. Use adapters to make
        Boxes out of BuildStepStatus and friends. Acknowledge that Steps
        have both starting and finishing times and adjust the waterfall
        display accordingly, using spacers if necessary. Use SlaveStatus
        to get buildslave info.
        (StatusResourceBuildStep): new just-one-step resource, used to get
        logfiles. No actual href to it yet.

        * buildbot/status/event.py (Logfile.doSwap): disable Swappable for
        the time being, until I get the file-naming scheme right

        * buildbot/status/builder.py (Event): clean started/finished names
        (BuildStatus.isFinished): .finished is not None is the right test
        (BuildStatus.buildStarted): track started/finished times ourselves
        (BuilderStatus.getSlave): provide access to SlaveStatus object
        (BuilderStatus.getLastFinishedBuild): all builds are now in
        .builds, even the currently-running one. Accomodate this change.
        (BuilderStatus.eventGenerator): new per-builder event generator.
        Returns BuildStepStatus and BuildStatus objects, since they can
        both be adapted as necessary.
        (BuilderStatus.addEvent): clean up started/finished attributes
        (BuilderStatus.startBuild,finishBuild): remove dead code
        (SlaveStatus): new object to provide ISlaveStatus

        * buildbot/process/step.py (ShellCommand.getColor): actually
        return the color instead of setting it ourselves
        (CVS.__init__): pull .timeout and .workdir options out of
        **kwargs, since BuildStep will ignore them. Without this neither
        will be sent to the slave correctly.
        (SVN.__init__): same

        * buildbot/process/builder.py (Builder): move flags to class-level
        attributes
        (Builder.attached): remove .remoteInfo, let the BotPerspective and
        SlaveStatus handle that

        * buildbot/process/base.py (Build.firstEvent): remove dead code
        (Build.stopBuild): bugfix

        * buildbot/changes/pb.py (PBChangeSource.describe): add method

        * buildbot/changes/changes.py (Change): add IStatusEvent methods
        (ChangeMaster.eventGenerator): yield Changes, since there are now
        Adapters to turn them into HTML boxes

        * buildbot/master.py (BotMaster): track SlaveStatus from BotMaster
        (BotPerspective.attached): feed a SlaveStatus object
        (BuildMaster.loadConfig): add a manhole port (debug over telnet)
        (BuildMaster.loadConfig_Builders): give BuilderStatus a parent

        * buildbot/interfaces.py: API additions
        (ISlaveStatus): place to get slave status

2004-08-04  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/slavecommand.py (DummyCommand.finished): send rc=0 when
        the delay finishes, so the step is marked as SUCCESS

        * buildbot/test/test_run.py (Status.testSlave): cover more of
        IBuildStatus and IBuildStepStatus

        * buildbot/status/progress.py (StepProgress): move some flags to
        class-level attributes
        (StepProgress.remaining): if there are no other progress metrics
        to go by, fall back to elapsed time
        (StepProgress.setExpectations): take a dict of metrics instead of
        a list
        (BuildProgress.setExpectationsFrom): pull expectations from the
        Expectations, instead of having it push them to the BuildProgress
        (Expectations): move some flags to class-level attributes
        (Expectations.__init__): copy per-step times from the
        BuildProgress too
        (Expectations.expectedBuildTime): new method for per-build ETA

        * buildbot/status/event.py (Logfile): move some flags to
        class-level attributes
        (Logfile.logProgressTo): better method name, let step set the
        progress axis name (instead of always being "output")

        * buildbot/status/builder.py (BuildStepStatus.getTimes): track the
        times directly, rather than depending upon the (possibly missing)
        .progress object. Use 'None' to indicate "not started/finished
        yet"
        (BuildStepStatus.getExpectations): oops, return the full list of
        expectations
        (BuilderStatus._buildFinished): append finished builds to .builds

        * buildbot/process/step.py (BuildStep): add separate .useProgress
        flag, since empty .progressMetrics[] still implies that time is a
        useful predictor
        (CVS): set up the cmd in __init__, instead of waiting for start()

        * buildbot/process/base.py (Build.startBuild): disable the 'when'
        calculation, this will eventually turn into a proper sourceStamp
        (Build.setupBuild): tell the Progress to load from the Expectations,
        instead of having the Expectations stuff things into the Progress
        (Build.buildException): add a build-level errback to make sure the
        build's Deferred fires even in case of exceptions

        * buildbot/master.py (BotMaster.forceBuild): convey the reason into
        the forced build
        * buildbot/process/builder.py (Builder.forceBuild): convey the
        reason instead of creating a fake Change

        * docs/examples/twisted_master.cfg: update to match reality

        * buildbot/test/test_config.py, buildbot/test/test_process.py:
        * buildbot/test/test_run.py, buildbot/test/test_steps.py:
        fix or remove broken/breaking tests

        * buildbot/status/event.py (Logfile.__len__): remove evil method

        * buildbot/status/builder.py (BuildStepStatus.stepStarted): tolerate
        missing .build, for test convenience

        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py: import fixes

        * buildbot/process/step.py (BuildStep.failed): exception is FAILURE

        * buildbot/master.py (BuildMaster.loadConfig_Builders): leftover
        .statusbag reference

        * buildbot/bot.py (BuildSlave.stopService): tear down the TCP
        connection at shutdown, and stop it from reconnecting

        * buildbot/test/test_run.py (Run.testSlave): use a RemoteDummy to
        chase down remote-execution bugs

        * buildbot/process/step.py: more fixes, remove
        BuildStep.setStatus()
        * buildbot/status/builder.py: move setStatus() functionality into
        BuildStatus.addStep
        * buildbot/status/event.py: minor fixes

2004-08-03  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/process/base.py, buildbot/process/builder.py
        * buildbot/process/step.py, buildbot/status/builder.py
        * buildbot/status/event.py, buildbot/test/test_run.py:
        fix status delivery, get a basic test case working
        * buildbot/master.py: finish implementing basic status delivery,
        temporarily disable HTML/IRC/PB status sources

        * buildbot/bot.py (Bot.remote_setBuilderList): remove debug noise

        * buildbot/status/progress.py (BuildProgress): remove dead code

        * buildbot/interfaces.py
        * buildbot/process/base.py, buildbot/process/builder.py
        * buildbot/process/step.py, buildbot/process/step_twisted.py
        * buildbot/status/builder.py: Complete overhaul of the all
        status-delivery code, unifying all types of status clients (HTML,
        IRC, PB). See interfaces.IBuildStatus for an idea of what it will
        look like. This commit is a checkpointing of the work-in-progress:
        the input side is mostly done (Builders/Builds sending status
        to the BuilderStatus/BuildStatus objects), but the output side has
        not yet been started (HTML resources querying BuilderStatus
        objects). Things are probably very broken right now and may remain
        so for several weeks, I apologize for the disruption.

        * buildbot/status/event.py: add a setHTML method to use pre-rendered
        HTML as the log's contents. Currently used for exception tracebacks.
        * buildbot/status/progress.py: minor spelling changes

2004-08-02  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * docs/config.xhtml: XHTML fixes, makes raw .xhtml files viewable
        in mozilla. Also added stylesheets copied from Twisted's docs.
        Remember that these files are meant to be run through Lore first.
        Thanks to Philipp Frauenfelder for the fixes.
        * docs/factories.xhtml, docs/sources.xhtml, docs/steps.xhtml: same
        * docs/stylesheet-unprocessed.css, docs/stylesheet.css: same
        * docs/template.tpl: added a Lore template

2004-07-29  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/interfaces.py: revamp status delivery. This is the
        preview: these are the Interfaces that will be provided by new
        Builder code, and to which the current HTML/IRC/PB status
        displayers will be adapted.

        * buildbot/slavecommand.py (ShellCommand.start): look for .usePTY
        on the SlaveBuilder, not the Bot.
        * buildbot/bot.py (Bot.remote_setBuilderList): copy Bot.usePTY to
        SlaveBuilder.usePTY
        * buildbot/test/test_slavecommand.py (FakeSlaveBuilder.usePTY):
        set .usePTY on the FakeSlaveBuilder

2004-07-25  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/changes/freshcvs.py: add some debug log messages
        (FreshCVSConnectionFactory.gotPerspective): pre-emptively fix the
        disabled 'setFilter' syntax
        (FreshCVSSourceNewcred.__init__): warn about prefix= values that
        don't end with a slash

        * buildbot/process/base.py (Builder._pong_failed): add TODO note

        * setup.py: bump to 0.5.0+ while between releases

2004-07-23  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * setup.py (version): Releasing buildbot-0.5.0

2004-07-23  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * README: update for 0.5.0 release

        * NEWS: update for 0.5.0 release

2004-07-22  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/slavecommand.py (ShellCommand): make usePTY a
        mktap-time configuration flag (--usepty=1, --usepty=0)
        * buildbot/bot.py: same

        * buildbot/master.py (BotPerspective.got_dirs): don't complain about
        an 'info' directory being unwanted

        * buildbot/changes/freshcvs.py (FreshCVSSource): flip the
        newcred/oldcred switch. Newcred (for CVSToys-1.0.10 and later) is now
        the default. To communicate with an oldcred daemond (CVSToys-1.0.9
        and earlier), use a FreshCVSSourceOldcred instead.
        (test): simple test routine: connect to server, print changes

        * buildbot/changes/changes.py (Change.getTime): make it possible
        to print un-timestamped changes

        * buildbot/master.py (makeApp): delete ancient dead code
        (BuildMaster.loadTheConfigFile): make "master.cfg" name configurable
        * buildbot/test/test_config.py (testFindConfigFile): test it

        * docs/examples/twisted_master.cfg (b22w32): use iocp reactor
        instead of win32 one


        * buildbot/master.py (BuildMaster.loadConfig_Builders): config file
        now takes a dictionary instead of a tuple. See docs/config.xhtml for
        details.

        * buildbot/process/base.py (Builder.__init__): change constructor
        to accept a dictionary of config data, rather than discrete
        name/slave/builddir/factory arguments

        * docs/examples/twisted_master.cfg: update to new syntax
        * docs/examples/glib_master.cfg: same
        * buildbot/test/test_config.py (ConfigTest.testBuilders): some
        rough tests of the new syntax

        
        * buildbot/master.py (BuildMaster.loadConfig): allow webPathname
        to be an int, which means "run a web.distrib sub-server on a TCP
        port". This lets you publish the buildbot status page to a remote
        twisted.web server (using distrib.ResourceSubscription). Also
        rename the local attributes used to hold these web things so
        they're more in touch with reality.
        * buildbot/test/test_web.py: test webPortnum and webPathname
        * docs/config.xhtml: document this new use of webPathname

        * docs/config.xhtml: new document, slightly ahead of reality
        
        * buildbot/changes/freshcvs.py (FreshCVSSourceNewcred.notify): fix
        'prefix' handling: treat it as a simple string to check with
        .startswith, instead of treating it as a directory. This allows
        sub-directories to be used. If you use prefix=, you should give it
        a string that starts just below the CVSROOT and ends with a slash.
        This prefix will be stripped from all filenames, and filenames
        which do not start with it will be ignored.

2004-07-20  Cory Dodt  <corydodt@twistedmatrix.com>

        * contrib/svn_buildbot.py: Add --include (synonym for --filter)
        and --exclude (inverse of --include).  SVN post-commit hooks
        now have total control over which changes get sent to buildbot and which
        do not.

2004-07-10  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/test/test_twisted.py (Case1.testCountFailedTests): fix
        test case to match new API

        * buildbot/status/event.py (Logfile.getEntries): fix silly bug
        which crashed HTML display when self.entries=[] (needed to
        distinguish between [], which means "no entries yet", and None,
        which means "the entries have been swapped out to disk, go fetch
        them").

2004-07-04  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py (countFailedTests): Count
        skips, expectedFailures, and unexpectedSuccesses. Start scanning
        10kb from the end because any import errors are wedged there and
        they would make us think the test log was unparseable.
        (RunUnitTests.finishStatus): add skip/todo counts to the event box

2004-06-26  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py (RemovePYCs): turn the
        delete-*.pyc command into an actual BuildStep, so we can label it
        nicely
        * buildbot/process/process_twisted.py (QuickTwistedBuildFactory):
        (FullTwistedBuildFactory): same

2004-06-25  Cory Dodt  <corydodt@twistedmatrix.com>

        * contrib/fakechange.py: Add an errback when sending the fake 
        change, so we know it didn't work.

2004-06-25  Christopher Armstrong  <radix@twistedmatrix.com>

        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py: Delete *.pyc files before
        calling trial, so it doesn't catch any old .pyc files whose .py
        files have been moved or deleted.

        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py (RunUnitTests): 1) Add a new
        parameter, 'recurse', that passes -R to trial. 2) have 'runAll'
        imply 'recurse'. 3) Make the default 'allTests' be ["twisted"]
        instead of ["twisted.test"], so that the end result is "trial -R
        twisted".

        * contrib/svn_buildbot.py: Add a --filter parameter that accepts a
        regular expression to match filenames that should be ignored when
        changed. Also add a --revision parameter that specifies the
        revision to examine, which is useful for debugging.

2004-06-25  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py (trialTextSummarizer): create a
        summary of warnings (like DeprecationWarnings), next to the
        "summary" file

2004-05-13  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * docs/examples/twisted_master.cfg: enable the win32 builder, as
        we now have a w32 build slave courtesy of Mike Taylor.

        * buildbot/process/base.py (Build.checkInterlocks): OMG this was
        so broken. Fixed a race condition that tripped up interlocked
        builds and caused the status to be stuck at "Interlocked" forever.
        The twisted buildbot's one interlocked build just so happened to
        never hit this case until recently (the feeding builds both pass
        before the interlocked build is attempted.. usually it has to wait
        a while).
        (Builder._pong_failed): fix method signature

        * setup.py: bump to 0.4.3+ while between releases

2004-04-30  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * setup.py (version): Releasing buildbot-0.4.3

2004-04-30  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * MANIFEST.in: add the doc fragments in  docs/*.xhtml

        * README: update for 0.4.3 release

        * NEWS: update for 0.4.3 release

        * buildbot/master.py (BuildMaster.__getstate__): make sure
        Versioned.__getstate__ is invoked, for upgrade from 0.4.2

        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py (RunUnitTests.trial): add
        .trial as a class attribute, for upgrade from 0.4.2

        * buildbot/changes/changes.py (Change.links): add .links for
        upgrade from 0.4.2

        * buildbot/status/event.py (Logfile.__getstate__): get rid of both
        .textWatchers and .htmlWatchers at save time, since they are both
        volatile, should allow smooth 0.4.2 upgrade

        * buildbot/process/step.py (CVS.finishStatus): catch failed
        CVS/SVN commands so we can make the status box red

2004-04-29  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/changes/freshcvs.py
        (FreshCVSConnectionFactory.gotPerspective): add (commented-out)
        code to do setFilter(), which tells the freshcvs daemon to not
        send us stuff that we're not interested in. I will uncomment it
        when a new version of CVSToys is available in which setFilter()
        actually works, and I get a chance to test it better.

        * docs/examples/twisted_master.cfg: start using a PBChangeSource

        * buildbot/master.py (Dispatcher): use a registration scheme
        instead of hardwired service names
        (BuildMaster): keep track of the Dispatcher to support
        registration

        * buildbot/changes/changes.py (ChangeMaster): create a distinct
        PBChangeSource class instead of having it be an undocumented
        internal feature of the ChangeMaster. Split out the code into a
        new file.
        * buildbot/changes/pb.py (PBChangeSource): same
        * buildbot/test/test_changes.py: a few tests for PBChangeSource

        * docs/{factories|sources|steps}.xhtml: document some pieces

        * docs/examples/twisted_master.cfg: use SVN instead of CVS, stop
        using FCMaildirSource
        (f23osx): update OS-X builder to use python2.3, since the slave
        was updated to Panther (10.3.3)

2004-03-21  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/process/process_twisted.py: factor out doCheckout, change
        to use SVN instead of CVS

        * buildbot/process/base.py (BasicBuildFactory): refactor to make
        an SVN subclass easier
        (BasicSVN): subclass which uses Subversion instead of CVS

2004-03-15  Christopher Armstrong  <radix@twistedmatrix.com>

        * buildbot/slavecommand.py (ShellCommand.start): use COMSPEC instead
        of /bin/sh on win32
        (CVSCommand.cvsComplete): don't assume chdir worked on win32

2004-02-25  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/slavecommand.py (ShellCommand): ['commands'] argument
        is now either a list (which is passed to spawnProcess directly) or
        a string (which gets passed to /bin/sh -c). This removes the useSH
        flag and the ArgslistCommand class. Also send status header at the
        start and end of each command, instead of having the master-side
        code do that.
        (CVSCommand): fix the doUpdate command, it failed to do the 'cp
        -r'. Update to use list-based arguments.
        (SVNFetch): use list-based arguments, use ['dir'] argument to
        simplify code.
        * buildbot/test/test_steps.py (Commands): match changes

        * buildbot/process/step.py (InternalShellCommand.words): handle
        command lists
        (SVN): inherit from CVS, cleanup

        * buildbot/status/event.py (Logfile.content): render in HTML, with
        stderr in red and headers (like the name of the command we're
        about to run) in blue. Add link to a second URL (url + "?text=1")
        to get just stdout/stderr in text/plain without markup. There is
        still a problem with .entries=None causing a crash, it seems to occur
        when the logfile is read before it is finished.

        * buildbot/bot.py (BotFactory.doKeepalive): add a 30-second
        timeout to the keepalives, and use it to explicitly do a
        loseConnection instead of waiting for TCP to notice the loss. This
        ought to clear up the silent-lossage problem.
        (unsafeTracebacks): pass exception tracebacks back to the master,
        makes it much easier to debug problems

2004-02-23  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/slavecommand.py (ShellCommand): add useSH flag to pass
        the whole command to /bin/sh instead of execve [Johan Dahlin]
        (CVSCommand): drop '-r BRANCH' if BRANCH==None instead of usiing
        '-r HEAD' [Johan Dahlin]
        (CVSCommand.start2): fix cvsdir calculation [Johan Dahlin]

        * buildbot/changes/changes.py (Change): add links= argument, add
        asHTML method [Johan Dahlin]. Modified to make a bit more
        XHTMLish. Still not sure how to best use links= .

        * buildbot/status/html.py (StatusResourceCommits.getChild): use 
        Change.asHTML to display the change, not asText

        * buildbot/status/html.py (StatusResourceBuilder): web button to
        ping slave

        * buildbot/test/test_run.py: test to actually start a buildmaster
        and poke at it

        * MANIFEST.in: bring back accidentally-dropped test helper files

        * buildbot/test/test_config.py (ConfigTest.testSources): skip tests
        that require cvstoys if it is not installed

        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py (RunUnitTests): allow other
        values of "bin/trial" [Dave Peticolas]
        (RunUnitTests.finishStatus): say "no tests run" instead of "0
        tests passed" when we didn't happen to run any tests

        * buildbot/process/step.py (Compile): use haltOnFailure instead of
        flunkOnFailure [Johan Dahlin]

        * buildbot/process/base.py (ConfigurableBuild.setSteps): allow
        multiple instances of the same Step class by suffixing "_2", etc,
        to the name until it is unique. This name needs to be unique
        because it is used as a key in the dictionary that tracks build
        progress.
        * buildbot/test/test_steps.py (Steps.testMultipleStepInstances):
        add test for it

        * buildbot/process/base.py (Builder.ping): add "ping slave" command

2004-01-14  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/status/words.py (IrcStatusBot): when we leave or get
        kicked from a channel, log it

        * buildbot/master.py (Dispatcher): add "poke IRC" command to say
        something over whatever IRC channels the buildmaster is currently
        connected to. Added to try and track down a problem in which the
        master thinks it is still connected but the IRCd doesn't see it. I
        used a styles.Versioned this time, so hopefully users won't have
        to rebuild their .tap files this time.
        * contrib/debug.glade: add a "Poke IRC" button
        * contrib/debugclient.py: same

        * setup.py: bump to 0.4.2+ while between releases

2004-01-08  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * setup.py (version): Releasing buildbot-0.4.2

2004-01-08  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * NEWS: update for 0.4.2 release

        * README: document how to run the tests, now that they all pass

        * buildbot/changes/maildir.py (Maildir.poll): minor comment

        * buildbot/process/step.py (CVS): add a global_options= argument,
        which lets you set CVS global options for the command like "-r"
        for read-only checkout, or "-R" to avoid writing in the
        repository.
        * buildbot/slavecommand.py (CVSCommand): same

        * buildbot/status/event.py (Logfile): add a .doSwap switch to make
        testing easier (it is turned off when testing, to avoid the
        leftover timer)

        * buildbot/process/step.py (InternalBuildStep): shuffle code a bit
        to make it easier to test: break generateStepID() out to a
        separate function, only update statusbag if it exists.
        (ShellCommands): create useful text for dict-based commands too.

        * test/*, buildbot/test/*: move unit tests under the buildbot/
        directory
        * setup.py (packages): install buildbot.test too

        * buildbot/test/test_slavecommand.py: fix it, tests pass now
        * buildbot/test/test_steps.py: fix it, tests pass now

2004-01-06  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/changes/mail.py (parseFreshCVSMail): looks like new
        freshcvs mail uses a slightly different syntax for new
        directories. Update parser to handle either.
        * test/test_mailparse.py (Test1.testMsg9): test for same

2003-12-21  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/process/process_twisted.py (TwistedDebsBuildFactory): set
        'warnOnWarnings' so that lintian errors mark the build orange

2003-12-17  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/changes/mail.py (parseBonsaiMail): parser for commit
        messages emitted by Bonsai, contributed by Stephen Davis.

        * test/*: moved all tests to use trial instead of unittest. Some
        still fail (test_steps, test_slavecommand, and test_process).

        * setup.py (version): bump to 0.4.1+ while between releases

2003-12-09  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * setup.py (version): Releasing buildbot-0.4.1

2003-12-09  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * NEWS: update for 0.4.1 release

        * docs/examples/twisted_master.cfg: add netbsd builder, shuffle
        freebsd builder code a little bit

        * buildbot/changes/freshcvs.py (FreshCVSSourceNewcred.__cmp__):
        don't try to compare attributes of different classes
        * buildbot/changes/mail.py (MaildirSource.__cmp__): same
        (MaildirSource.messageReceived): fix Change delivery

        * buildbot/master.py (BuildMaster.loadConfig): insert 'basedir'
        into the config file's namespace before loading it, like the
        documentation claims it does
        * docs/examples/twisted_master.cfg: remove explicit 'basedir'
        (useFreshCVS): switch to using a maildir until Twisted's freshcvs
        daemon comes back online

2003-12-08  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * docs/examples/twisted_master.cfg: provide an explicit 'basedir'
        so the example will work with online=0 as well

        * buildbot/changes/mail.py (FCMaildirSource, SyncmailMaildirSource):
        fix the __implements__ line

        * buildbot/changes/maildirtwisted.py (MaildirTwisted): make this
        class a twisted.application.service.Service, use startService to
        get it moving.

        * buildbot/changes/dnotify.py (DNotify): use os.open to get the
        directory fd instead of simple open(). I'm sure this used to work,
        but the current version of python refuses to open directories with
        open().

2003-12-05  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * setup.py (version): bump to 0.4.0+ while between releases

2003-12-05  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * setup.py (version): Releasing buildbot-0.4.0

2003-12-05  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * docs/examples/glib_master.cfg: replace old sample scripts with
        new-style config files
        * MANIFEST.in: include .cfg files in distribution tarball

        * buildbot/changes/freshcvs.py (FreshCVSListener.remote_goodbye):
        implement a dummy method to avoid the exception that occurs when
        freshcvs sends this to us.

        * buildbot/pbutil.py (ReconnectingPBClientFactory.stopFactory):
        removed the method, as it broke reconnection. Apparently
        stopFactory is called each time the connection attempt fails. Must
        rethink this.
        (ReconnectingPBClientFactory.__getstate__): squash the _callID
        attribute before serialization, since without stopFactory the
        reconnect timer may still be active and they aren't serializable.

        * test/test_mailparse.py (ParseTest): test with 'self' argument

        * buildbot/changes/mail.py (parseFreshCVSMail): add (silly) 'self'
        argument, as these "functions" are invoked like methods from class
        attributes and therefore always get an instance as the first
        argument.

        * buildbot/changes/maildir.py (Maildir.start): fix error in error
        message: thanks to Stephen Davis for the catch

2003-12-04  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/pbutil.py: complete rewrite using PBClientFactory and
        twisted's standard ReconnectingClientFactory. Handles both oldcred
        and newcred connections. Also has a bug-workaround for
        ReconnectingClientFactory serializing its connector when it
        shouldn't.

        * buildbot/bot.py (BotFactory): rewrite connection layer with new
        pbutil. Replace makeApp stuff with proper newcred/mktap
        makeService(). Don't serialize Ephemerals on shutdown.

        * buildbot/changes/changes.py (ChangeMaster): make it a
        MultiService and add the sources as children, to get startService
        and stopService for free. This also gets rid of the .running flag.

        * buildbot/changes/freshcvs.py (FreshCVSSource): rewrite to use
        new pbutil, turn into a TCPClient at the same time (to get
        startService for free). Two variants exist: FreshCVSSourceOldcred
        and FreshCVSSourceNewcred (CVSToys doesn't actualy support newcred
        yet, but when it does, we'll be ready).
        (FreshCVSSource.notify): handle paths which are empty after the
        prefix is stripped. This only happens when the top-level (prefix)
        directory is added, at the very beginning of a Repository's life.

        * buildbot/clients/base.py: use new pbutil, clean up startup code.
        Now the only reconnecting code is in the factory where it belongs.
        (Builder.unsubscribe): unregister the disconnect callback when we
        delete the builder on command from the master (i.e. when the
        buildmaster is reconfigured and that builder goes away). This
        fixes a multiple-delete exception when the status client is shut
        down afterwards.
        * buildbot/clients/gtkPanes.py (GtkClient): cleanup, match the
        base Client. 

        * buildbot/status/words.py (IrcStatusBot): add some more sillyness
        (IrcStatusBot.getBuilderStatus): fix minor exception in error message

2003-10-20  Christopher Armstrong  <radix@twistedmatrix.com>

        * contrib/run_maxq.py: Accept a testdir as an argument rather than
        a list of globs (ugh). The testdir will be searched for files
        named *.tests and run the tests in the order specified in each of
        those files. This allows for "dependancies" between tests to be
        codified.

        * buildbot/process/maxq.py (MaxQ.__init__): Accept a testdir
        argument to pass to run_maxq.py, instead of a glob.

2003-10-17  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py (HLint.start): ignore .xhtml
        files that live in the sandbox

2003-10-15  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py (ProcessDocs.finished): fix
        spelling error in "docs" count-warnings output
        (HLint.start): stupid thinko meant .xhtml files were ignored

        * docs/examples/twisted_master.cfg (reactors): disable cReactor
        tests now that cReactor is banished to the sandbox

2003-10-10  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py (ProcessDocs, HLint): new Twisted
        scheme: now .xhtml are sources and .html are generated

2003-10-08  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py (RunUnitTests.__init__): oops,
        we were ignoring the 'randomly' parameter.

2003-10-01  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/slavecommand.py (ShellCommand.start): set usePTY=1 on
        posix, to kill sub-children of aborted slavecommands.

        * buildbot/status/builder.py: rename Builder to BuilderStatus.
        Clean up initialization: lastBuildStatus remains None until the
        first build has been completed.

        * buildbot/status/html.py (WaterfallStatusResource.body): handle
        None as a lastBuildStatus
        * buildbot/clients/gtkPanes.py: same

        * buildbot/status/client.py (StatusClientService): keep
        BuilderStatus objects in self.statusbags . These objects now live
        here in the StatusClientService and are referenced by the Builder
        object, rather than the other way around.
        * buildbot/status/words.py (IrcStatusBot.getBuilderStatus): same
        * buildbot/process/base.py (Builder): same
        * test/test_config.py (ConfigTest.testBuilders): same

        * buildbot/master.py (BuildMaster.loadConfig_Builders): when modifying
        an existing builder, leave the statusbag alone. This will preserve the
        event history.

        * buildbot/pbutil.py (ReconnectingPB.connect): add initial newcred
        hook. This will probably go away in favor of a class in upcoming
        Twisted versions.

        * buildbot/changes/freshcvs.py (FreshCVSSource.start): Remove old
        serviceName from newcred FreshCVSNotifiee setup

2003-09-29  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/process/process_twisted.py: switch to new reactor
        abbreviations
        * docs/examples/twisted_master.cfg: same

        * README (REQUIREMENTS): mention twisted-1.0.8a3 requirement

        * buildbot/status/words.py (IrcStatusBot.getBuilder): use the
        botmaster reference instead of the oldapp service lookup

        * buildbot/master.py (BuildMaster.__init__): give the
        StatusClientService a reference to the botmaster to make it easier to
        force builds

2003-09-24  Christopher Armstrong  <radix@twistedmatrix.com>

        * buildbot/status/html.py (Box.td): escape hreffy things so you
        can have spaces in things like builder names
        (StatusResourceBuilder.body)
        (WaterfallStatusResource.body)
        (WaterfallStatusResource.body0): same

2003-09-25  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/master.py (BuildMaster.loadConfig_Builders): don't
        rearrange the builder list when adding or removing builders: keep
        them in the order the user requested.
        * test/test_config.py (ConfigTest.testBuilders): verify it

        * contrib/debug.glade: give the debug window a name

        * buildbot/process/base.py (Builder.buildTimerFired): builders can
        now wait on multiple interlocks. Fix code relating to that.
        (Builder.checkInterlocks): same
        * buildbot/status/builder.py (Builder.currentlyInterlocked): same

        * buildbot/master.py (BuildMaster.loadConfig): move from
        deprecated pb.BrokerFactory to new pb.PBServerFactory
        * test/test_config.py (ConfigTest.testWebPathname): same

        * docs/examples/twisted_master.cfg: fix interlock declaration

        * buildbot/master.py (BotMaster.addInterlock): move code to attach
        Interlocks to their Builders into interlock.py .
        (BuildMaster.loadConfig_Interlocks): fix interlock handling

        * test/test_config.py (ConfigTest.testInterlocks): validate
        interlock handling

        * buildbot/process/base.py (Builder.__init__): better comments
        * buildbot/process/interlock.py (Interlock.__repr__): same
        (Interlock.deactivate): add .active flag, move the code that
        attaches/detaches builders into the Interlock

2003-09-24  Christopher Armstrong  <radix@twistedmatrix.com>

        * buildbot/process/maxq.py (MaxQ): support for running a set of MaxQ
        tests using the new run_maxq.py script, and reporting failures by
        parsing its output.

        * contrib/run_maxq.py: Hacky little script for running a set of maxq
        tests, reporting their success or failure in a buildbot-friendly 
        manner.

2003-09-24  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * docs/examples/twisted_master.cfg: example of a new-style config
        file. This lives in the buildmaster base directory as
        "master.cfg".

        * contrib/debugclient.py (DebugWidget.do_rebuild): add 'reload'
        button to make the master re-read its config file

        * buildbot/master.py (BuildMaster.loadConfig): new code to load
        buildmaster configuration from a file. This file can be re-read
        later, and the buildmaster will update itself to match the new
        desired configuration. Also use new Twisted Application class.
        * test/Makefile, test/test_config.py: unit tests for same

        * buildbot/changes/freshcvs.py (FreshCVSSource.__cmp__): make
        FreshCVSSources comparable, to support reload.
        * buildbot/changes/mail.py (MaildirSource.__cmp__): same

        * buildbot/process/base.py (Builder): make them comparable, make
        Interlocks easier to attach, to support reload. Handle
        re-attachment of remote slaves.
        * buildbot/process/interlock.py (Interlock): same

        * buildbot/bot.py, bb_tap.py, changes/changes.py: move to
        Twisted's new Application class. Requires Twisted >= 1.0.8 .
        buildmaster taps are now constructed with mktap.
        * buildbot/status/client.py (StatusClientService): same

        * buildbot/status/words.py: move to new Services, add support to
        connect to multiple networks, add reload support, allow nickname
        to be configured on a per-network basis

2003-09-20  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * docs/examples/twisted_master.py (twisted_app): use python2.3 for
        the freebsd builder, now that the machine has been upgraded and no
        longer has python2.2

        * setup.py (version): bump to 0.3.5+ while between releases

2003-09-19  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * setup.py (version): Releasing buildbot-0.3.5

2003-09-19  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * NEWS: add post-0.3.4 notes

        * README (REQUIREMENTS): note twisted-1.0.7 requirement

        * MANIFEST.in: add contrib/*

        * docs/examples/twisted_master.py (twisted_app): all build slaves must
        use a remote root now: cvs.twistedmatrix.com

        * buildbot/changes/freshcvs.py (FreshCVSNotifiee.connect): update
        to newcred
        (FreshCVSNotifieeOldcred): but retain a class that uses oldcred for
        compatibility with old servers
        (FreshCVSSource.start): and provide a way to use it
        (FreshCVSNotifiee.disconnect): handle unconnected notifiee

        * docs/examples/twisted_master.py (twisted_app): update to new
        makeApp interface.
        (twisted_app): listen on new ~buildbot socket
        (twisted_app): Twisted CVS has moved to cvs.twistedmatrix.com

        * buildbot/process/process_twisted.py: Use 'copydir' on CVS steps
        to reduce cvs bandwidth (update instead of full checkout)

2003-09-11  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * contrib/fakechange.py: demo how to connect to the changemaster
        port. You can use this technique to submit changes to the
        buildmaster from source control systems that offer a hook to run a
        script when changes are committed.

        * contrib/debugclient.py: tool to connect to the debug port. You
        can use it to force builds, submit fake changes, and wiggle the
        builder state

        * buildbot/master.py: the Big NewCred Reorganization. Use a single
        'Dispatcher' realm to handle all the different kinds of
        connections and Perspectives: buildslaves, the changemaster port,
        the debug port, and the status client port. NewCredPerspectives
        now have .attached/.detached methods called with the remote 'mind'
        reference, much like old perspectives did. All the pb.Services
        turned into ordinary app.ApplicationServices .
        (DebugService): went away, DebugPerspectives are now created
        directly by the Dispatcher.
        (makeApp): changed interface a little bit

        * buildbot/changes/changes.py: newcred
        * buildbot/status/client.py: newcred

        * buildbot/clients/base.py: newcred client side changes
        * buildbot/bot.py: ditto

        * docs/examples/glib_master.py: handle new makeApp() interface
        * docs/examples/twisted_master.py: ditto

        * buildbot/pbutil.py (NewCredPerspective): add a helper class to
        base newcred Perspectives on. This should go away once Twisted
        itself provides something sensible.


2003-09-11  Christopher Armstrong  <radix@twistedmatrix.com>

        * contrib/svn_buildbot.py: A program that you can call from your
        SVNREPO/hooks/post-commit file that will notify a BuildBot master
        when a change in an SVN repository has happened. See the top of
        the file for some minimal usage info.

2003-09-10  Christopher Armstrong  <radix@twistedmatrix.com>

        * buildbot/slavecommand.py (ArglistCommand): Add new
        ArglistCommand that takes an argument list rather than a string as
        a parameter. Using a st.split() for argv is very bad.

        * buildbot/slavecommand.py (SVNFetch): Now has the ability to
        update to a particular revision rather than always checking out
        (still not very smart about it, there may be cases where the
        checkout becomes inconsistent).

2003-09-10  Christopher Armstrong  <radix@twistedmatrix.com>

        * buildbot/{bot.py,slavecommand.py,process/step.py}: Rudimentary
        SVN fetch support. It can checkout (not update!) a specified
        revision from a specified repository to a specified directory.

        * buildbot/status/progress.py (Expectations.update): Fix an
        obvious bug (apparently created by the change described in the
        previous ChangeLog message) by moving a check to *after* the
        variable it checks is defined.


2003-09-08  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/status/progress.py (Expectations.update): hack to catch
        an exception TTimo sees: sometimes the update() method seems to
        get called before the step has actually finished, so the .stopTime
        is not set, so no totalTime() is available and we average None
        with the previous value. Catch this and just don't update the
        metrics, and emit a log message.

2003-08-24  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/process/base.py (BasicBuildFactory): accept 'cvsCopy'
        parameter to set copydir='original' in CVS commands.

        * buildbot/process/step.py (CVS): accept 'copydir' parameter.

        * buildbot/slavecommand.py (CVSCommand): add 'copydir' parameter,
        which tells the command to maintain a separate original-source CVS
        workspace. For each build, this workspace will be updated, then
        the tree copied into a new workdir. This reduces CVS bandwidth
        (from a full checkout to a mere update) while doubling the local
        disk usage (to keep two copies of the tree).

2003-08-21  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/status/event.py (Logfile.addEntry): if the master web
        server dies while we're serving a page, request.write raises
        pb.DeadReferenceError . Catch this and treat it like a
        notifyFinish event by dropping the request.

2003-08-18  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/status/words.py (IrcStatusBot.command_FORCE): complain
        (instead of blowing up) if a force-build command is given without
        a reason field

        * buildbot/changes/changes.py (ChangeMaster.getChangeNumbered):
        don't blow up if there aren't yet any Changes in the list

2003-08-02  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/bot.py (updateApplication): don't set the .tap name,
        since we shouldn't assume we own the whole .tap file

        * buildbot/bb_tap.py (updateApplication): clean up code, detect
        'mktap buildbot' (without a subcommand) better

2003-07-29  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/status/words.py
        (IrcStatusFactory.clientConnectionLost): when we lose the
        connection to the IRC server, schedule a reconnection attempt.

        * buildbot/slavecommand.py (CVSCommand.doClobber): on non-posix,
        use shutil.rmtree instead of forking off an "rm -rf" command.
        rmtree may take a while and will block until it finishes, so we
        use "rm -rf" if available.

        * docs/examples/twisted_master.py: turn off kqreactor, it hangs
        freebsd buildslave badly

        * setup.py (version): bump to 0.3.4+ while between releases

2003-07-28  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * setup.py (version): Releasing buildbot-0.3.4

2003-07-28  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * NEWS: update in preparation for release

        * buildbot/slavecommand.py (ShellCommand.doTimeout): use
        process.signalProcess instead of os.kill, to improve w32
        portability

        * docs/examples/twisted_master.py (twisted_app): turn off
        win32eventreactor: the tests hang the buildslave badly

        * buildbot/process/base.py (Build.buildFinished): update ETA even on
        failed builds, since usually the failures are consistent

        * buildbot/process/process_twisted.py (TwistedReactorsBuildFactory):
        add compileOpts/compileOpts2 to reactors build

        * docs/examples/twisted_master.py (twisted_app): add "-c mingw32"
        (twisted_app): use both default and win32eventreactor on w32 build.
        Use both default and kqreactor on freebsd build.

        * buildbot/process/process_twisted.py (FullTwistedBuildFactory):
        add compileOpts2, which is put after the build_ext argument. w32
        needs "-c mingw32" here.

        * buildbot/status/html.py (StatusResourceBuilder.getChild): don't
        touch .acqpath, it goes away in recent Twisted releases

        * docs/examples/twisted_master.py (twisted_app): use "python" for
        the w32 buildslave, not "python2.2"

        * buildbot/bot.py (Bot.remote_getSlaveInfo): only look in info/ if
        the directory exists.. should hush an exception under w32

        * buildbot/slavecommand.py (ShellCommandPP.processEnded): use
        ProcessTerminated -provided values for signal and exitCode rather
        than parsing the unix status code directly. This should remove one
        more roadblock for a w32-hosted buildslave.

        * test/test_mailparse.py: add test cases for Syncmail parser

        * Buildbot/changes/freshcvsmail.py: remove leftover code, leave a
        temporary compatibility import. Note! Start importing
        FCMaildirSource from changes.mail instead of changes.freshcvsmail

        * buildbot/changes/mail.py (parseSyncmail): finish Syncmail parser

2003-07-27  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * NEWS: started adding new features

        * buildbot/changes/mail.py: start work on Syncmail parser, move
        mail sources into their own file

        * buildbot/changes/freshcvs.py (FreshCVSNotifiee): mark the class
        as implementing IChangeSource
        * buildbot/changes/freshcvsmail.py (FCMaildirSource): ditto

        * buildbot/interfaces.py: define the IChangeSource interface

2003-07-26  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/master.py (makeApp): docstring (thanks to Kevin Turner)

2003-06-25  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/status/words.py (IrcStatusBot.emit_last): round off
        seconds display

2003-06-17  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/status/words.py: clean up method usage to avoid error
        in silly IRC command
        (IrcStatusBot.emit_status): round off seconds display

        * buildbot/process/base.py (Build): delete the timer when saving
        to the .tap file, and restore it (if it should still be running)
        upon restore. This should fix the "next build in -34 seconds"
        messages that result when the master is restarted while builds are
        sitting in the .waiting slot. If the time for the build has
        already passed, start it very soon (in 1 second).

        * buildbot/status/words.py: more silly commands

        * README (REQUIREMENTS): add URLs to all required software

        * buildbot/status/words.py ('last'): mention results of, and time
        since last build

2003-05-28  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/status/words.py: add 'last' command
        (IrcStatusBot.emit_status): add current-small text to 'status' output

        * docs/examples/twisted_master.py (twisted_app): turn on IRC bot
        (twisted_app): remove spaces from OS-X builder name

        * buildbot/master.py (makeApp): add knob to turn on IRC bot
        * buildbot/status/words.py: IRC bot should actually be useful now

2003-05-23  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/bot.py (Bot.remote_getSlaveInfo): add routines to get
        "slave information" from $(slavedir)/info/* . These files are
        maintained by the slave administrator, and describe the
        machine/environment that is hosting the slave. Information from
        them is put into the "Builder" HTML page. Still need to establish
        a set of well-known filenames and meanings for this data: at the
        moment, *all* info/* files are sent to the master, but only
        'admin' and 'host' are used on that end.
        * buildbot/status/html.py (StatusResourceBuilder.body): ditto
        * buildbot/process/base.py (Builder.setRemoteInfo):  ditto
        * buildbot/master.py (BotPerspective.got_info):  ditto

2003-05-22  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * setup.py (version): bump version to 0.3.3+ while between releases

2003-05-21  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * setup.py: Releasing buildbot-0.3.3

2003-05-21  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * NEWS: 0.3.3 news items

        * README: describe --keepalive and life behind a NAT box

        * buildbot/bot.py (Bot.connected): implement application-level
        keepalives to deal with NAT timeouts, turn them on with
        --keepalive option or when SO_KEEPALIVE doesn't work.

        * buildbot/master.py (BotPerspective): accept keepalives silently

        * buildbot/process/base.py (Build.buildException): CopiedFailures
        don't carry as much information as local ones, so don't try to
        create a big HTMLized version of them.

        * buildbot/process/step.py (InternalShellCommand.stepFailed): close
        log file when step fails due to an exception, such as when the slave
        becomes unreachable

        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py (RunUnitTests): use trial's new
        --testmodule argument instead of grepping for test-case-name tags
        ourselves. Remove FindUnitTests code.
        * buildbot/slavecommand.py, buildbot/bot.py: remove old code

        * MANIFEST.in: Add docs/examples, files under test/ . Oops!

2003-05-16  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/process/base.py (BasicBuildFactory): add 'configureEnv'
        argument to allow things like CFLAGS=-O0 to be passed without relying
        upon /bin/sh processing on the slave.

        * buildbot/process/step.py (InternalShellCommand.start): send
        'env' dict to slave
        * buildbot/slavecommand.py (ShellCommand.start): create argv with
        'split' instead of letting /bin/sh do it. This should also remove
        the need for /bin/sh on the buildslave, making it more likely to
        work with win32.

        * buildbot/status/html.py: html-escape text in blamelist.
        Add "force build" button to the Builder page.

        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py (countFailedTests): look at
        last 1000 characters for status line, as import errors can put it
        before the -200 point.

2003-05-15  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * docs/examples/twisted_master.py: use clobber=0 for remote builds

        * buildbot/process/process_twisted.py (FullTwistedBuildFactory):
        make 'clobber' a parameter, so it is possible to have builds which
        do full tests but do a cvs update instead of hammering the CVS
        server with a full checkout each build

        * buildbot/process/step.py (InternalShellCommand): bump default
        timeout to 20 minutes

        * buildbot/bot.py (Bot.debug_forceBuild): utility method to ask
        the master to trigger a build. Run it via manhole.

        * buildbot/master.py (BotPerspective.perspective_forceBuild):
        allow slaves to trigger any build that they host, to make life
        easier for slave admins who are testing out new build processes

        * buildbot/process/process_twisted.py (TwistedReactorsBuildFactory):
        don't flunk cReactor or qtreactor on failure, since they fail alot
        these days. Do warnOnFailure instead.

        * buildbot/process/base.py: change Builder.buildable from a list
        into a single slot. When we don't have a slave, new builds (once
        they make it past the timeout) are now merged into an existing
        buildable one instead of being queued. With this change, a slave
        which has been away for a while doesn't get pounded with all the
        builds it missed, but instead just does a single build.

2003-05-07  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * setup.py (version): bump version to 0.3.2+ while between releases

2003-05-07  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * setup.py: Releasing buildbot-0.3.2

2003-05-07  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * setup.py: fix major packaging error: include subdirectories!
        
        * NEWS: add changes since last release

        * README (REQUIREMENTS): update twisted/python dependencies

        * buildbot/status/builder.py (Builder.startBuild): change
        BuildProcess API: now they should call startBuild/finishBuild
        instead of pushing firstEvent / setLastBuildStatus. Moving towards
        keeping a list of builds in the statusbag, to support other kinds of
        status delivery.
        (Builder.addClient): send current-activity-small to new clients
        * buildbot/process/base.py (Build.startBuild, .buildFinished): use
        new API

        * buildbot/status/client.py: drop RemoteReferences at shutdown

        * buildbot/status/event.py (Event.stoppedObserving): oops, add it

        * buildbot/status/progress.py (BuildProgress.remote_subscribe):
        more debug messages for remote status client

        * buildbot/process/step.py (InternalBuildStep.stepComplete)
        (.stepFailed): only fire the Deferred once, even if both
        stepComplete and stepFailed are called. I think this can happen if
        an exception occurs at a weird time.

        * buildbot/status/words.py: work-in-progress: IRC status delivery

2003-05-05  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * docs/examples/twisted_master.py (twisted_app): hush internal
        python2.3 distutils deprecation warnings
        * buildbot/process/process_twisted.py (FullTwistedBuildFactory):
        add compileOpts= argument which inserts extra args before the
        "setup.py build_ext" command. This can be used to give -Wignore
        warnings, to hush some internal python-2.3 deprecation messages.
 
        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py (RunUnitTests): parameterize
        the ['twisted.test'] default test case to make it easier to change
        in subclasses

        * buildbot/clients/base.py: switch to pb.Cacheable-style Events
        * buildbot/clients/gtkPanes.py: ditto

        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py (RunUnitTests): use randomly=
        arg to collapse RunUnitTestsRandomly into RunUnitTests
        * buildbot/process/process_twisted.py (FullTwistedBuildFactory):
        use RunUnitTests(randomly=1) instead of RunUnitTestsRandomly

        * buildbot/status/html.py (StatusResource): shuffle Resources
        around to fix a bug: both 'http://foo:8080' and 'http://foo:8080/'
        would serve the waterfall display, but the internal links were
        only valid on the trailing-slash version. The correct behavior is
        for the non-slashed one to serve a Redirect to the slashed one.
        This only shows up when the buildbot page is hanging off another
        server, like a Twisted-Web distributed server.

        * buildbot/status/event.py (Event, RemoteEvent): make Events
        pb.Cacheable, with RemoteEvent as the cached version. This removes
        a lot of explicit send-an-update code.
        * buildbot/status/builder.py (Builder): remove send-update code
        * buildbot/status/client.py (ClientBuilder): remove send-update
        code, and log errors that occur during callRemote (mostly to catch
        InsecureJelly exceptions)

        * buildbot/process/process_twisted.py (QuickTwistedBuildFactory):
        run Lore with the same python used in the rest of the build

        * buildbot/process/step_twisted2.py (RunUnitTestsJelly): moved

        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py (HLint): accept 'python'
        argument. Catch rc!=0 and mark the step as failed. This marks the
        build orange ("has warnings").
        (RunUnitTestsJelly): move out to step_twisted2.py

        * buildbot/util.py (ignoreStaleRefs): add utility function

        * buildbot/master.py (DebugPerspective.perspective_setCurrentState):
        don't fake ETA object, it's too hard to get right

2003-05-02  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * docs/examples/twisted_master.py (twisted_app): add FreeBSD builder

2003-05-01  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/status/html.py (StatusResource.body): oops, I was
        missing a <tr>, causing the waterfall page to be misrendered in
        everything except Galeon.

2003-04-29  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * docs/examples/twisted_master.py: make debuild use python-2.2
        explicitly, now that Twisted stopped supporting 2.1

        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py (BuildDebs.finishStatus): oops,
        handle tuple results too. I keep forgetting this, which suggests
        it needs to be rethought.

        * setup.py (setup): bump version to 0.3.1+ while between releases
        
2003-04-29  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * setup.py: Releasing buildbot-0.3.1

2003-04-29  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * README (SUPPORT): add plea to send questions to the mailing list

        * NEWS, MANIFEST.in: add description of recent changes

        * docs/examples/twisted_master.py: add the code used to create the
        Twisted buildmaster, with passwords and such removed out to a
        separate file.

        * buildbot/changes/changes.py, freshcvs.py, freshcvsmail.py: split
        out cvstoys-using bits from generic changes.py, to allow non-cvstoys
        buildmasters to not require CVSToys be installed.
        * README, docs/examples/glib_master: update to match the change

        * buildbot/clients/base.py, buildbot/bot.py,
        buildbot/changes/changes.py, buildbot/pbutil.py: copy
        ReconnectingPB from CVSToys distribution to remove CVSToys
        dependency for build slaves and status clients. Buildmasters which
        use FreshCVSSources still require cvstoys be installed, of course.

2003-04-25  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/process/process_twisted.py (FullTwistedBuildFactory): add
        runTestsRandomly arg to turn on trial -z

        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py (TwistedJellyTestResults):
        experimental code to use trial's machine-parseable output to get
        more detailed test results. Still has some major issues.
        (RunUnitTestsRandomly): subclass to add "-z 0" option, runs tests
        in random sequence

        * buildbot/status/builder.py (Builder.setCurrentBuild):
        anticipating moving build history into statusbag, not used yet

        * buildbot/status/tests.py: code to centralize test results,
        doesn't work quite yet

        * buildbot/status/event.py (Event): use hasattr("setName") instead
        of isinstance for now.. need better long-term solution

        * buildbot/status/html.py: Remove old imports

2003-04-24  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/process/process_twisted.py (TwistedBuild.isFileImportant):
        ignore changes under doc/fun/ and sandbox/

        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py: update pushEvent and friends.

        * buildbot/status/html.py (Box.td): replace event.buildername with
        event.parent.getSwappableName(). Needs more thought.

        * buildbot/status/builder.py (Builder): Replace pushEvent and
        getLastEvent with {set|update|addFileTo|finish}CurrentActivity.
        Tell events they are being pruned with event.delete().

        * buildbot/process/base.py (Build): Remove Builder status-handling
        methods. s/pushEvent/setCurrentActivity/.

        * buildbot/process/step.py (BuildStep): clean up status delivery.
        Gouse builder.statusbag methods instead of intermediate builder
        methods. s/updateLastEvent/updateCurrentActivity/.
        s/finalizeLastEvent/finishCurrentActivity/. Use
        addFileToCurrentActivity for summaryFunction.

        * buildbot/status/event.py (Logfile): put data in a Swappable when
        .finish is called.
        (Event): add more setter methods. Remove .buildername, use .parent
        and getSwappableName instead (needs more thought).

        * buildbot/util.py (Swappable):
        * test/test_swap.py: don't bother setting filename at __init__
        time, do it later. Change setFilename args to take parent first,
        since it provides the most significant part of the filename.

2003-04-23  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/status/event.py (Logfile.addEntry): append to previous
        entry, if possible

        * buildbot/process/step.py (BuildStep.finalizeLastEvent):
        anticipating Swappable
        (InternalShellCommand.remoteUpdate): split out various log-adding
        methods so subclasses can snarf stdout separately

        * buildbot/process/base.py (Builder.finalizeLastEvent): more code
        in anticipation of Swappable build logs
        (Builder.testsFinished): anticipating TestResults, still disabled

        * buildbot/status/builder.py (Builder.pruneEvents): only keep the
        last 100 events

        * buildbot/status/event.py (Logfile): add (disabled) support for
        Swappable, not ready for use yet

        * buildbot/util.py (Swappable): object which is swapped out to
        disk after some period of no use.
        * test/test_swap.py: test buildbot.utils.Swappable

2003-04-14  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/process/base.py (Builder.doPeriodicBuild): add simple
        periodic-build timer. Set the .periodicBuildTime on a builder
        instance to some number of seconds to activate it.

        * buildbot/master.py (BotMaster.forceBuild): change forceBuild API

        * buildbot/process/step.py (ShellCommand.finishStatus): use log.msg in
        a way that survives result tuples

2003-04-12  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/process/step.py (ShellCommand.finishStatusSummary):
        return a dict instead of a tuple: allow summarizers to provide
        multiple summaries if they want
        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py (trialTextSummarizer): return dict
        (debuildSummarizer): summarize lintian warnings/errors

2003-04-10  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * README (REQUIREMENTS): slave requires twisted-1.0.4a2

2003-04-09  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py (trialTextSummarizer): Don't create
        empty summaries: happens when the tests fail so hard they don't emit
        a parseable summary line.

        * buildbot/process/step.py (ShellCommand.finishStatusSummary):
        Allow summaryFunction to return None to indicate no summary should
        be added.
 
        * buildbot/status/event.py (Logfile.removeHtmlWatcher): avoid
        writing to stale HTTP requests: notice when they disconnect and
        remove the request from the list. Also add CacheToFile from
        moshez, will be used later.

2003-04-08  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py (ProcessDocs.finished): warnings
        should be an int, not a list of strings

        * buildbot/changes/changes.py (FreshCVSSource.stop): don't disconnect
        if we weren't actually connected

        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py (trialTextSummarizer): function
        to show the tail end of the trial text output

        hook to summarize the results of a ShellCommand

2003-04-07  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py (RunUnitTests): consolidate all
        twisted test suite code into a single class.
        * buildbot/process/process_twisted.py: same

2003-04-04  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * setup.py, MANIFEST.in: hack to make sure plugins.tml gets installed

        * README (SLAVE): document use of mktap to create slave .tap file
        (REQUIREMENTS): describe dependencies

        * buildbot/bb_tap.py, buildbot/plugins.tml:
        * buildbot/bot.py (updateApplication): Add mktap support for creating
        buildslave .tap files

2003-03-28  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/process/step.py (InternalShellCommand.finished): handle
        new tuple result values (fix embarrasing bug that appeared during
        PyCon demo)

2003-03-27  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * docs/examples/glib_master.py, README: add sample buildmaster.tap
        -making program

2003-03-25  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/process/step.py (CVS, ShellCommand): add reason for failure
        to overall build status
        * buildbot/clients/base.py (Builder): improve event printing
        * buildbot/process/base.py (BasicBuildFactory): use specific steps
        instead of generic ShellCommand
        (Build): Add .stopBuild, use it when slave is detached

        * buildbot/process/step.py (Configure,Test): give the steps their
        own names and status strings

        * buildbot/status/html.py (StatusResource): add "show" argument,
        lets you limit the set of Builders being displayed.

2003-03-20  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/process/basic.py: removed

2003-03-19  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/process/process_twisted.py (FullTwistedBuildFactory):
        turn off process-docs by default

        * buildbot/process/base.py (Builder.getBuildNumbered): Don't blow up
        when displaying build information without anything in allBuilds[]

        * buildbot/bot.py (makeApp): really take password from sys.argv

2003-03-18  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/bot.py (buildApp): take password from sys.argv

        * README: replace with more useful text

        * setup.py: add a real one
        * MANIFEST.in, .cvsignore: more distutils packaging stuff
        
        * docs/PyCon-2003/: added sources for PyCon paper.

        * buildbot/process/base.py, step.py: revamp. BuildProcess is gone,
        now Build objects control the process and Builder only handles
        slave stuff and distribution of changes/status. A new BuildFactory
        class creates Build objects on demand.

        Created ConfigurableBuild which takes a list of steps to run. This
        makes it a lot easier to set up a new kind of build and moves us
        closer to being able to configure a build from a web page.

        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py, process_twisted.py: move to
        new model. A lot of code went away.
        
        * buildbot/status/progress.py (BuildProgress.newProgress): Don't
        send lots of empty progress messages to the client.

        * buildbot/master.py (makeApp): enforce builder-name uniqueness

2003-02-20  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py (BuildDebs): count lintian hits

        * buildbot/slavecommand.py (ShellCommand): back to usePTY=0. The
        Twisted bug that prevented non-pty processes from working just got
        fixed, and the bug that leaks ptys is still being investigated.

        * buildbot/process/step.py (CVS): send timeout arg to slave

        * buildbot/clients/gtkPanes.py: add connection-status row, handle
        builders coming and going
        * buildbot/clients/base.py: clean up protocol, move to ReconnectingPB
        from CVSToys, handle lost-buildmaster

        * buildbot/status/client.py (StatusClientService.removeBuilder):
        Clean up status client protocol: send builders (with references)
        as they are created, rather than sending a list and requiring the
        client to figure out which ones are new.
        * buildbot/master.py (BotMaster.forceBuild): Log debugclient
        attempts to force a build on an unknown builder

2003-02-19  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/slavecommand.py (CVSCommand): add timeout to sub-commands
        * buildbot/slavecommand.py (ShellCommand.start): stop using PTYs until
        Twisted stops leaking them.
        * buildbot/clients/gtkPanes.py (CompactBuilder): forget ETA when the
        builder goes to an idle state.

        * buildbot/slavecommand.py (ShellCommand.start): bring back PTYs until
        I figure out why CVS commands hang without them, and/or I fix the
        hung-command timeout

2003-02-16  Brian Warner  <warner@lothar.com>

        * buildbot/process/step_twisted.py: bin/hlint went away, replace
        with 'bin/lore --output lint'. Use 'bin/trial -o' to remove
        ansi-color markup. Remove GenerateLore step. Count hlint warnings in
        GenerateDocs now that they are prefixed with WARNING:.

        * buildbot/status/html.py (StatusResource.body): Fix Builder link,
        use manual href target instead of request.childLink

        * buildbot/clients/gtkPanes.py: Fix progress countdown: update the
        display every second, but update the ETA every 5 seconds (or
        whenever) as remote_progress messages arrive.
