[Xorp-hackers] Xorp.CT buildbot is functional.

[Ben Greear]

I put together a buildbot server for xorp.ct, and am currently
compiling on Fedora Core 5 32-bit, FC 8 32-bit, Fedora 13 32-bit and
Fedora 13 64-bit.

I'm going to look into running Debian and maybe Ubuntu on virtual machines,
but if anyone else would like to run a buildbot slave, please let me know.
It would especially be nice to have a Sparc and/or Power-PC system, and
some BSD systems in the mix.

The slaves are pretty easy to set up:

Install buildbot 7.12 or later
Ask Ben Greear for a user/password for your bot.
Run this command to build the slave in a directory of
your choosing:
buildbot create-slave slave dmz2.candelatech.com:9989 [bot-name] [bot-passwd]
vi slave/info/admin
vi slave/info/host
buildbot start slave

You do not need root permissions for any of this (though it makes installing
easier).  The equivalent of:  "yum install buildbot" is sufficient for installing
on Fedora 13 and probably other recent distributions.

Your slaves can be behind NAT firewalls and such.

Builds are automatically kicked off 2 minutes after the
last commit has been made.

I'm going to work on getting the 'scons check' output
to be parsed better by buildbot, but it's at least somewhat
useful now.

Thanks,
Ben
