Someone sets up a "buildbot master"

That's what I now did:

http://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/

I'm not quite sure on a number of concepts: should there be multiple "slaves" per "builder"? Should I have multiple factories? How should I pass build-machine specific information (like: what compiler to use) in the master, or is that a slave thing? How should I deal with branches?

Anyhow, I created two "builders", both with the same "slave", on sparc-sun-solaris2.10, 32-bit mode, gcc. The "python-full" builder does "svn export", whereas the "python-quick" builder does "svn update". Each of these is associated with an AnyBranchScheduler, for both 'trunk' and 'tags/release24-maint'. Not sure whether this means that the 2.4 release branch will ever be built (as the SVN steps have a defaultBranch of "trunk").

If anybody wants to contribute additional builders, or has ideas for organizing this all, please let me know.

Regards, Martin
