2.2.2 Buildmaster Requirements

• sqlite3: http://www.sqlite.org

  Buildbot requires SQLite to store its state. Version 3.3.8 or higher is recommended, as earlier versions had trouble with contention for database tables.

• pysqlite: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pysqlite

  The SQLite Python package is required for python-2.5 and earlier (it is already included in python-2.5 and later, but the version in python-2.5 has nasty bugs)

• simplejson: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/simplejson

  The simplejson package is required for python-2.5 and earlier (it is already included as json in python-2.6 and later)

• Jinja2: http://jinja.pocoo.org/

  Buildbot requires Jinja version 2.1 or higher.

  Jinja2 is a general purpose templating language and is used by Buildbot to generate the HTML output.

• SQLAlchemy: http://www.sqlalchemy.org/

  Buildbot requires SQLAlchemy 0.6 or higher. SQLAlchemy allows Buildbot to build database schemas and queries for a wide variety of database systems.

• SQLAlchemy-Migrate: http://code.google.com/p/sqlalchemy-migrate/

  Buildbot requires SQLAlchemy-Migrate version 0.6 (exactly; as-yet unreleased later versions may not work). Buildbot uses SQLAlchemy-Migrate to manage schema upgrades from version to version.
