Yeah, some developers were focused on solve the problem with connect
the slaves with the main master (due the need of a port open per project) 
finally solved in a "non-programatic" approach (sys-admin approach).

Anyway, Iago Toral has more details about that, although he is focused currently
on the mobile moduleset:

I suppose that this "not needing to open a prot for each project" is
the problem I commented up. We made some tests here, and discarded to
focus the problem on the buildbot itself. We made some unsuccessful
attemps accessing directly twisted:

Do you have any idea to solve in directly on buildbot?

And about buildbot 0.7.7: Im not sure if it has sense has the master
with 0.7.5 and the slaves with 0.7.7, or you are proposing migrate
the master too?
