Buildbot Setup for BSD

Here are the steps I did when installing and configuring a buildbot slave on a PC-BSD 9 box.

Add buildbot user:

sudo adduser
  buildbot
  /bin/sh

Python was already installed.

Bazaar was already installed.

NTP was already installed.

Install Zope3

cd /usr/ports/www/zope3
sudo make install clean
  # accepted default options
cd /usr/ports/devel/py-zope.interface
sudo make install clean

Install Twisted

cd /usr/ports/devel/py-twisted
sudo make install clean
  # accepted default options

Install ccache

cd /usr/ports/devel/ccache
sudo make install clean
  # accepted default options

Run a test compile of MariaDB

cd
cd src/maria/build
BUILD/compile-pentium64-max
  # test compile appeared to work

Install buildbot

cd /usr/ports/devel/buildbot
sudo make install clean
  # accepted default options

Create the buildbot slave

On the build master, add new entry to /etc/buildbot/maria-master-private.cfg

slave-name=bsd9

Remember the ${slave-name} and ${password} configured above, they're used in the next step.

Back on bsd9

sudo su - buildbot
buildslave create-slave --usepty=0 /home/buildbot/maria-slave \
hasky.askmonty.org:9989 ${slave-name} ${password}

echo '${contact-email-address}' > /home/buildbot/maria-slave/info/admin
echo 'A host running PC-BSD 9.' > /home/buildbot/maria-slave/info/host

bzr init-repo maria-slave/bsd9

exit

Start the buildslave

sudo su - buildbot
buildslave start maria-slave

Make the archive dir

sudo su - buildbot
mkdir archive
exit
sudo ln -s /home/buildbot/archive /archive

Install Apache

cd /usr/ports/www/apache22
sudo make install clean
  # accepted default options

Configure apache:

sudo su -s
echo 'apache22_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf
echo 'alias /archive "/archive"\
<Directory "/archive">\
  Options All Multiviews\
  AllowOverride All\
  Order allow,deny\
  Allow from all\
</Directory>' >> /usr/local/etc/apache22/httpd.conf

sudo /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache22 start

Install md5sum

md5sum already installed at /compat/linux/usr/bin/md5sum
edited /home/buildbot/.profile and added that dir to the path
  # That didn't work, so did the following:
cd /usr/local/bin/
sudo ln -s /compat/linux/usr/bin/md5sum md5sum
