Caution

Buildbot no longer supports Python 2.7 on the Buildbot master.

2.5.12.5. Darcs

class buildbot.steps.source.darcs.Darcs

The Darcs build step performs a Darcs checkout or update.

from buildbot.plugins import steps

factory.addStep(steps.Darcs(repourl='http://path/to/repo',
                            mode='full', method='clobber', retry=(10, 1)))

Darcs step takes the following arguments:

repourl

(required): The URL at which the Darcs source repository is available.

mode

(optional): defaults to 'incremental'. Specifies whether to clean the build tree or not.

incremental

The source is update, but any built files are left untouched.

full

The build tree is clean of any built files. The exact method for doing this is controlled by the method argument.

method

(optional): defaults to copy when mode is full. Darcs’ incremental mode does not require a method. The full mode has two methods defined:

clobber

It removes the working directory for each build then makes full checkout.

copy

This first checkout source into source directory then copy the source directory to build directory then performs the build operation in the copied directory. This way we make fresh builds with very less bandwidth to download source. The behavior of source checkout follows exactly same as incremental. It performs all the incremental checkout behavior in source directory.
