slaveVersionIsOlderThan
checks the SVN version of the client but drops the major number of the version
first
"if sv.split(".") < minversion.split("."):"
But SVN module is now 2.11 not 1.11 so the check fails
with <class 'buildbot.interfaces.BuildSlaveTooOldError'>: This buildslave
(buildslave_win7_64_vm_chii.homedns.org) does not support svn usernames and
passwords. Refusing to build. Please upgrade the buildslave to buildbot-0.7.10
or newer.

Guten Tag,

For completeness.
The buildslave has the version 0.83 runs under windows with python 2.7
x86.
Returning  in  general  false  in the checkIsOlder function "fix" this
problem. (ok, not fine but runs :-D )

Hi,

could you check if you still have that problem with the latest version?
A lot of time has passed since and the code that compares the versions
of the worker modules has changed.
