I wrote up this wiki page to hopefully get you started: http://code.google.com/p/memcached/wiki/BuildFarm > So far I have no idea how buildbots work. > I guess it's important to provide SSH access to my server with > some user that has gcc stuff available, buildbot runs as a process on your machine that makes a single outbound connection over which we tell it what to do. It does not need to provide any further access than the ability to download, configure, compile and test the code. Specifically, there are several builders we have running that I've never logged into. :) > is there something specific etc what I need to setup ? Very little, actually. You install buildbot, run ``buildbot create- slave'' with a slave name and a secret password (that I need to know to tell the master to expect it), edit a couple files to put your name and a description of the host into them, and just make sure it's running. The rest happens on the other end.
