Here are three buildbot farms for three different projects that exercise various features of setuptools: build, install, sdist_dsc, bdist_egg, sdist, and various specific requirements that our projects have, such as the "Desert Island Build" in which setuptools is not allowed to download anything from the Internet at build time or else it flunks the test.

I would love it if new versions of setuptools/Distribute would make more of these tests pass on more platforms or at least avoid causing any regressions in these tests on these platforms.

Unfortunately, we can't really deploy new versions of setuptools/Distribute to this buildbot farm in order to re-run all the tests, because the only way that I know of to trigger all the tests is to make a commit to our central darcs repository for Tahoe-LAFS, pycryptopp, or zfec, and I don't want to do that to experiment with new versions of setuptools/Distribute. Does anyone know how to use a buildbot farm like this one to run tests without committing patches to the central repository?

Regards,

Zooko
