It might be a little awkward, but couldn't we make the buildbot run a short script that checks for the existence of certain paths in the repository and adapts accordingly?

We can do per-branch configuration on the buildbots, it's just not pretty :)

As a result of this change, the buildbot will be invoking the deprecated entry point. That's fine for initial continuity of compatibility, but it strikes me as fragile in the long term.

There's a reason I set the stated deprecation until 3.15 is EOL. 😅 I do have a note to clean it up once 3.20 comes out.

• it's not possible to use anynew feature of the entry point until such time as the old entry point has been deprecated.

That was true before, though.

Something likehttps://github.com/python/buildmaster-config/blob/48d410a498ed40d2ff4b76cca9d6c822f72c31e9/master/custom/factories.py#L910 ?

You can do per-version if you set up distinct workers per version.

Oh! TIL - I've had a couple of conversations with people about this and everyone said it wasn't possible and needed fixes in buildbot itself... clearly I was asking the wrong people (or the wrong questions :-) )

Even without any special support from the buildbot configuration system, we can always write commands asshell scripts like this:

if [ -e Platforms ]; then ...; else ...; fi

Happy to answer questions on Discord if you have more. I spent quite a while reading through the buildbot docs and playing with things locally to figure this out for WASM things and learned a lot. I wouldn't however call myself an expert :)
