Installing Buildbot

BuildBot is a system to automate the compile/test cycle required by most software projects to validate code changes.

Here is my environment.

$ uname -a
Linux app.example.com 2.6.18-53.el5 #1 SMP Mon Nov 12 02:14:55 EST 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
$ python
Python 2.4.3 (#1, May 24 2008, 13:57:05)

Here is what I did to get it installed successfully.

CentOS

$ yum install python-devel
$ yum install zope

Ubuntu

$ apt-get install python-dev
$ apt-get install python-zopeinterface

$ cd /tmp
# installation of Twisted
$ wget http://tmrc.mit.edu/mirror/twisted/Twisted/8.1/Twisted-8.1.0.tar.bz2
$ bunzip2 Twisted-8.1.0.tar.bz2
$ tar xvf Twisted-8.1.0.tar
$ cd Twisted-8.1.0
$ sudo python setup.py install
# installation of BuildBot
$ cd /tmp
$ wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/buildbot/buildbot-0.7.8.tar.gz
$ tar xvfz buildbot-0.7.8.tar.gz
$ cd buildbot-0.7.8
$ sudo python setup.py install

And a confirmation.

$ buildbot --version
Buildbot version: 0.7.8
Twisted version: 8.1.0

You will notice a few dependencies. I found these out from the following errors.

Error causing needing python-devel

Error causing zope to be installed

$ buildbot start /home/buildbot/master/

Installation was the easy part, configuration a little more complex.
