In another thread it was suggested that a new buildbot running as root would be of value. I've spun up a virtual machine running Debian Wheezy amd64, have installed buildbot from the repository (version 0.8.6p1), and am ready to have it join the farm. How do I go about doing this?
I've followed the instructions in https://wiki.python.org/moin/BuildBot as far as creating the slave. There's a user named buildbot but I'll be running the buildslave command as root - that would do it, right? Which means I just need to set up a name and password. The VM has 1GB RAM and is permitted up to two cores of my i5 CPU, and has 120GB disk space available. It's running behind NAT, which should be safe against accidental problems, but not malicious compromise. I'll look into firewalling it off to keep things safeish but mainly I'm trusting that Python core devs aren't going to be attacking my network :) ChrisA _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
