Hi everyone, there's been much more interest about the buildbot configurator that we wrote (anybox.buildbot.openerp) during the past few weeks that there has been since its inception, and I'm, needless to say, very glad about that, thank you all for the interest.
To all contributors : please be patient, I have many subjects to attend to, trying to catch up ! That being said, the project is in need of serious cleanup, that's been overlooked precisely because interest outside of anybox was very low. Don't be scared, by the list below, it works everyday for us and provides continuous testing and clean releases for all our customer projects. - there hasn't been a single release on PyPI since 0.8.1, which is more than a year old ! This means that most of the features that are used everyday at Anybox are out of the scope of newcomers. For instance, the modularity provided by the so-called 'subfactories' itself is unreleased. - the documentation needs the same kind of overhaul that's been done for the buildout recipe. IIRC the manifest file format is documented only by comments in the sample one. - some deprecated Buildbot idioms (notably WithProperties) need to be replaced by their modern counterparts. - test coverage could be improved. For all these reasons, I'm planning a release of a 1.0 in April, including a Sphinx refactor of the doc. If people feel more comfortable with fixing what's available now in its current state and call it the long awaited 0.9, that's easily done. Further down the road, I'd be extremely happy to start looking towards what the brand new Buildbot (codenamed nine) has to offer. Regards, PS: the name can be discussed, using the anybox.* namespace is merely an easy way to be sure not to step on someone toes. In the case of buildot, there's an old project on launchpad which I believe to be an early attempt by OpenERP to achieve what they did later with runbot (and indeed that's a quite different goal) -- Georges Racinet Anybox SAS, http://anybox.fr Bureau: 09 72 39 50 97 / 09 72 39 13 06 Portable: 06 51 32 07 27 GPG: 0x33AB0A35, sur serveurs publics
