Changes for Developers

Deprecations, Removals, and Non-Compatible Changes

  • By default, non-distinct commits received via buildbot.status.web.hooks.github.GitHubEventHandler now get recorded as a Change. In this way, a commit pushed to a branch that is not being watched (e.g. a dev branch) will still get acted on when it is later pushed to a branch that is being watched (e.g. master). In the past, such a commit would get ignored and not built because it was non-distinct. To disable this behavior and revert to the old behavior, install a ChangeFilter that checks the github_distinct property:
ChangeFilter(filter_fn=lambda c: c.properties.getProperty('github_distinct'))
  • setup.py 'scripts' have been converted to console_scripts entry point. This makes them more portable and compatible with wheel format. Most consequences are for the windows users:
    • buildbot.bat does not exist anymore, and is replaced by buildbot.exe, which is generated by the console_script entrypoint.
    • buildbot_service.py is replaced by buildbot_windows_service.exe, which is generated by the console_script entrypoint As this script has been written in 2006, has only inline documentation and no unit tests, it is not guaranteed to be working. Please help improving the windows situation.
