It's a configuration option. If you use mode="update" then your builds will re-use the same source directory over and over, if you use mode="clobber" then your builds will get a brand new checkout each time, and if you use mode="copy" then the source is updated in-place in one directory, but each build is performed from a copy of that checkout. Each offers different tradeoffs between disk usage, network usage, and which sorts of Makefile bugs they are likely to discover. cheers, -Brian (Buildbot author) _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
