Dan,<br><br>Great job with this. I've got a 64bit E6300 I can setup as a build slave. It's up and on 24/7 folding (gpu) so the cpu sites mostly idle. I've already adapted your scripts to work with gentoo/funtoo. I just replaced the apt-get with emerge commands. I can send those changes to you if you want? I don't know if you'd want to implement os detection based installation of the prereqs or its easier to just leave it alone.<br>
<br>The only thing about setting up a build slave would be I'd have to run it off of port 53. My ISP (cox) blocks all inbound ports except 22,23 and 53. Port 53 is reserved for DNS gateway, but since I don't run one that isn't an issue on mine end. Do you have anything against running on port 53?<br>

<a href="http://buildbot.kegel.com/" target="_blank">http://buildbot.kegel.com/</a> caught a couple of real problems today.<br>
<br>
Remember the original patchwatcher? �It died because only<br>
one person knew how to run it, and it was too hard to set up.<br>
I'm trying to not make that mistake this time.<br>
To that end, I've made the process easier, and would like as<br>
many people as possible to try running buildbot slaves (and, at least<br>
temporarily, masters!) so the knowledge is spread around.<br>
It's probably ready for other people to try running one.<br>
If you're interested, see<br>

<br>
Changes since last post<br>
- made cleaner script and doc for adding a new slave<br>
- rewrote patch series recognizer (old one was broken and opaque)<br>
<br>
to-do list:<br>
- make it start automatically after reboot<br>
- sandbox it<br>
- turn on build result emails<br>
- add a bit of parallelism into the test runner, so e.g. tests that<br>
don't need the display or network run in parallel with those that do,<br>
probably in a separate wineprefix<br>
- add valgrind slave<br>
- add windows slave (like testbot, but with real graphics and sound)<br>
- add x86_64 slave<br>
- move master to <a href="http://winehq.org" target="_blank">winehq.org</a> once it seems ready<br>
