Buildbot

Public access

• Buildbot builders
• Nightly packages

Installing

We use buildbot for our build machines. After the nightly build, the build machines must upload their packages to the packages mirror. All releases must be taken from this location; never release a build from a developer machine.

Ubuntu 10.04

apt-get install buildbot
mkdir -p /srv/buildbot
cd /srv/buildbot

Mac OS X (10.8)

Install using MacPorts.

sudo port install buildbot-slave

Windows XP 32-bit

Download and install:

• python-2.7.3.msi
• Twisted-13.0.0.win32-py2.7.msi
• pywin32-218.win32-py2.7.exe
• zope.interface-3.6.7.win32-py2.7.exe

Append to the PATH environment variable:

;C:\Python27;C:\Python27\Scripts

Then download and extract buildbot-0.8.0.zip, and run:

python setup.py build
python setup.py install

Finally, setup the slave:

mkdir C:\Buildbot
cd C:\Buildbot

Running

buildbot create-slave synergy buildbot.synergy-foss.org:9989 <bot-name> <bot-password>
buildbot start synergy

Alternatively, if running this after the Buildbot binary split, you may need to use buildslave instead:

buildslave create-slave synergy buildbot.synergy-foss.org:9989 <bot-name> <bot-password>
buildslave start synergy

Startup

Mac OS X

Add the following .plist to: ~/Library/LaunchAgents/

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
	<key>Label</key>
	<string>buildslave</string>
	<key>ProgramArguments</key>
	<array>
		<string>/opt/local/bin/buildslave</string>
		<string>start</string>
		<string>/path/to/buildbot/synergy</string>
	</array>
	<key>RunAtLoad</key>
	<true/>
</dict>
</plist>

Run this command to load the .plist (run as normal user).

launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/buildslave.plist
