(Still learning my buildbot mojo.) One idea would be to do what Mozilla's Tinderbox does: they have one set of builds that are incremental and one set that are full. Actually looking around on tinderbox.mozilla.org I could only find incremental builds so I'm not sure what they are doing.

I know how to set up full vs. incremental builders; they would appear in different lanes in the Waterfall, and they would operate on different build directories. I don't think I want additional lanes to the Waterfall.

To wipe out the build occassionally you could (presumably) add a starting step to the Python 'builder' (in the build master.cfg) to rm -rf $builddir every, say, Sunday night.

Sure, that would be the idea. How to formulate it?
