How do I setup a Buildbot build slave?

These build instructions should in general be platform agnostic. It is based on a post by Adam M. Dutko on maria-discuss. See the list archive.

To setup a build slave, the basic outline is:

  1. Install Python (2.4 or later)

  2. Install Twisted (twistedmatrix.com 8.0.x or later) - need Core, Mail, Web and Words (possibly Conch too)

  3. Install ZopeInterface (ZopeInterface)

  4. Install all the necessary compiler/build components.

  5. Install Buildbot

  6. Install Git and make sure you can clone from the main project

  7. Get a username/login and password from the buildmaster (dbart on Libera.Chat)

  8. Verify your buildbot can talk to the buildbot master instance and can run builds.
