... but pony-build follows a different model

that was just a brief comment to mention that even if both (buildbot + pony-build) support RPC, they are not just «the same» .

I'd rather not get into discussions of why my vaporware is going to be way, way better than anything anyone else could possibly do

+1 ... I'll be the first one that won't follow it since I have no time for that and my intention was not to suggest that «pb is better than bb» (but if you follow, please do it in a separate thread ;o)

@exarkun at twistedmatrix.com

But BuildBot exists, is deployed, and can be used now, without waiting.

+1 as I mentioned before I was not talking about eliminating buildbots

(Sorry, I don't really understand what point you were hoping to make with your message, so I just thought I'd follow up in the same style and hope that you'll understand my message even if I don't understand yours :).

well, I understand that you don't understand, since I barely understand that I will never be able to understand myself ... :)

The only thing I can say so far is that if pb is seriously considered as an option ... then I could give a hand (... and I'll possibly do it anyway , once I have time :-/ )

... turning myself off ...

Olemis.
