08:43 <flx> what's a proper discussion channel or forum for buildbot? this channel seems to be pretty quiet..

14:02 <Zash> flx: here should do, might need to wait a bit for an answer. who knows what timezones people are in etc.

14:07 <Zash> IANAL but using the logo for that that kind of thing sounds like fair use to me

15:13 <flx> alright thanks

15:23 <flx> also, I have a special use case and I'm not sure if Buildbot supports that.. For my use case I want to use the libvirt latent worker and I am planning to give the VMs two network interfaces. One is used for the internet connection, the other one is a private network used for the connection with the master. The interface with access to the internet is meant for downloading sources and similar things at the beginning of the build. Now, I would like to cut off the

15:23 <flx> internet connection before the actual build starts, the compile process for example. Cutting of the network connection of one interface is doable with the libvirt API, but how can I do that with Buildbot?

15:23 <flx> Can I do that with build steps?

15:32 <p12tic> fix: If there's a command line program that can do what you want then you can configure a build step for it

15:33 <p12tic> https://docs.buildbot.net/current/manual/configuration/steps/shell_command.html

15:36 <flx> p12tic: the build steps are run in the build environment, right? i assume that would be the virtual machine here?

15:36 <flx> so the virtual machine needs to run a command on its host?

15:38 <p12tic> for master-side commands look into https://docs.buildbot.net/current/manual/configuration/steps/master_shell_command.html

15:38 <p12tic> now the question is whether the libvirt host is the same machine as master or not

15:39 <p12tic> if it is then it's easy, if it's not then it would be a bit more complicated

15:40 <flx> no, libvirt runs on a different machine since there are multiple

15:42 <flx> but i might use the master shell command feature to issue a command to libvirt

15:43 <flx> p12tic: or do you have something different in mind?

15:48 <p12tic> no, it's exactly what you said

15:49 <flx> sounds great. i think that will work for me. thanks :)
