    Sure, i will. Soon :)

Done - used the names verbatim from the PdLab page, which means there is *some* CamelCase, also x86_64 *and* amd64. At least it's now in perfect sync with the wiki page. Tonight i'll try to set up the slaves.

    Now i'm at CVS polling... it goes with a script snippet, which
    i'm not sure about if it does what we want... could you take a
    look at http://128.238.56.50:8010/waterfall sometimes and see
    if the changes trigger the right builder? The snippet is like
    this:

    def my_file_splitter(path): # file splitter for
    BRANCHNAME/PROJECT/FILEPATH repos
      pieces = path.split('/')
      if pieces[0] == 'trunk':
         branch = None
         pieces.pop(0) # remove 'trunk'
      elif pieces[0] == 'branches':
         pieces.pop(0) # remove 'branches'
         # grab branch name
         branch = 'branches/' + pieces.pop(0)
      else:
         return None # something weird
      projectname = pieces.pop(0)
    #  if projectname != 'pure-data':
    #     return None # wrong project
      return (branch, '/'.join(pieces))


    further explanation is here:

It really seems to me that buildbout does not understand yet which builder to start upon which change. Once you have time, you could take a look into this 'splitter' thing.

Ok, will do. Its great to have buildbot running nightly builds, so that will just be cake. Let me finish the Pd-extended release and the pure-data 0.43 release...

Also, please note, that the pd-extended build fails in buildbot - with various reasons. http://128.238.56.50:8010/waterfall

Ok, I just committed a fix to this, hopefully.

BTW i have reorganized builders so that we see now what's up on different platforms. It's a bit frightening to think about how this will look with each external building independently (multiplied by platforms) - i think a second master shall be dedicated to them, and then the so called 'categories' will help to keep some order.

Yeah, I think it makes sense to have Pd-extended and pure-data.git builds separate from all of the libraries. I don't know enough about buildbot to say how best it should be done.
