init.d script for buildbot
sample conf.d configuration file

Description Michael Schmid 2006-05-11 05:28:15 UTC
This is a new ebuild for buildbot.

Buildbot is a build/testing system to automate compilation and test runs of source code. Written in python, it's a powerful but simple alternative to tinderbox.

The ebuild

First revision of the ebuild. Maybe a bit too verbose, if a native english speaker could shorten the text a bit it'd be nice.

init.d script for buildbot

Simple init.d script to start one or more buildbot masters/slaves. I found no other way to set the variables for HOME and so on to make it work. Passing them using start-stop-daemon -e didn't work when I tried, after a build started these variables were overridden by the ones from the shell the script was started in, resulting in failure.

I would like to have this in Portage!

Thanks for the ebuild. Just committed dev-util/buildbot-0.7.4 with some changes: removed the pkg_config: imho this is not worth it since you will have to edit the generated files anyway and running the "buildbot" tool directly is not harder than the emerge --config is. Also limited the init script to a single instance: if you want more than one just symlink or copy the script, which has the benefit you can restart them separately.

Closing this bug, please file a new one if there are problems with the ebuild.
