Bug 491038 – =dev-util/buildbot-slave-0.8.8: Add systemd support

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Markos Chandras (RETIRED) 2013-11-11 21:03:46 UTC]

Hi,

Could you add systemd support to buildbot-slave-0.8.8 so it can go stable along with buildbot-0.8.8 (bug #487736) ?

Thanks

What is the proper way to start buildbot-slave?
I thought it was simply:
# /usr/bin/buildslave start
error reading '/usr/portage/app-emulation/virtualbox-modules/buildbot.tac': No such file or directory
invalid buildslave directory '/usr/portage/app-emulation/virtualbox-modules'

But it fails as you can see :S

See here

http://docs.buildbot.net/current/tutorial/firstrun.html#creating-a-slave

so assuming your /home/pacho/workdir/slavedir is your slave box working directory

you should 'cd /home/pacho/workdir' and then 'buildslave start slavedir'

Also look at the current init script.

Yeah, I was wondering about why init.d script doesn't use that and, instead, runs:
--exec /usr/bin/python -- /usr/bin/twistd

:/

I don't know to be honest, but the buildbot master is also doing this and you also added a systemd file there

Ah, I guess it's because for buildbot I was able to pass the directory at the end of the command... will try for this one too then ;)
