23 This will create a virtualenv and install autobot for development |
| 206 | 24 ($VIRTUAL_ENV/src/autobot). You can also use the script as |

| 28 Setting up a buildmaster and slave | |
| 29 ---------------------------------- | |
| 30 | |
| 31 Once you have autobot installed and the virtualenv activated, you'll | |
| 32 want to create a buildmaster and a buildslave. | |
| 33 | |
| 34 You can create a master-slave pair by running ``create-autobot`` after | |
| 35 activating the virtualenv. This is mostly useful for autobot | |

36 development. The scripts ``create-autobot-master`` and |
| 206 | 37 ``create-autobot-slave`` are also available and are more useful for |
| 38 production, as normally you will not want to keep the master and the | |
| 39 slave on the same machine except for development and testing. The | |
| 40 scripts will prompt you for a factory or you can specify one or more | |
| 41 from the commandline using ``--factory`` or ``-f``. The factories are | |
| 42 from ``autobot.projects`` and its subdirectories. You can list the | |

| 186 | 46 Running ``create-autobot --help`` will give the variables you can set |
| 47 when it makes a new bot for you (``create-autobot-master`` and | |
| 48 ``create-autobot-slave`` also have a ``--help``, the variables in | |
| 49 ``create-autobot`` being a superset of these). | |
| 184 | 50 |
| 186 | 51 If you don't specify a variable, the default will be used to create |
| 206 | 52 your particular bot. You can change these in the resultant |
| 53 configuration later. | |

59 The buildmaster and buildslave are started with |
| 206 | 60 ``buildbot start master`` and ``buildslave stop slave`` from the bot's |
| 61 directories. Respective ``stop`` commands also exist. If you used the | |
| 62 ``create-autobot`` command the generated bot will have a | |
| 63 ``restart_buildbot.py`` script that will stop and start both the | |
| 64 master and slave and (if debug is set) remove the log as well. | |

| 169 ``autobot.process.factory:SourceFactory`` is an abstract base class | |
| 170 for specifying sources. Sources live as a member on the instance, named | |
| 171 (oddly) ``sources``. This is a dict with the key being the source | |
| 172 type and the value being the source to use. Source types are | |

173 currently "git" and "hg", though this is easily extensible. |
| 208 | 174 |
| 175 Internally, an individual source is stored as a 2-tuple with the first | |
| 176 item being the URL of the source and the second item being the | |
| 177 branch. If the branch is ``None`` or not specified, this is assumed | |
| 178 to equate to ``master`` for git or ``default`` for hg. However, you | |
| 179 may also use a string in the form of ``URL#branch``. In addition, you | |
| 180 may specify a whitespace separated source, which ``SourceFactory`` | |

181 will split into a list of sources. |
| 208 | 182 |
| 183 The generated ``master.cfg`` polls for changes on the given source, | |
| 184 then uses ``buildbot.schedulers.filter:Changefilter`` in conjunction | |
| 209 | 185 with a ``Scheduler`` to trigger the appropriate builds. This is done |
| 186 by ``GitPoller`` and ``HgPoller`` in | |
| 187 ``autobot.changes.poller``. Again, more pollers can be added as | |
| 188 needed or the provided buildbot change sources may be utilized. | |
| 208 | 189 |
| 190 While, in general, the canonical sources should be specified at the | |
| 191 class level, if an appropriate argument (e.g. *hg* or *git*) is passed | |
| 192 in to the ``SourceFactory`` constructor, this will override that | |
| 193 source type. This is useful for testing changes on non-canonical URLs | |
| 194 and/or branches. | |

200 Occassionally, you'll need to add a new project to test. You can add |
| 206 | 201 a ``__init__.py`` file to a directory under ``autobot.projects`` and, |
| 202 if you have a factory therein, autobot will find it and add it to the | |
| 203 list of factories it knows about. | |
| 204 | |
| 205 There is also a script, ``create-autobot-project``, that can create | |
| 206 this stub for you:: | |
| 207 | |
| 208 Usage: create-autobot-project [options] project <output> | |
| 209 | |
| 210 ``project`` is the name of the project and ``output``, if specified, | |
| 211 is the path of the file to create. If output is not specified, it | |
| 212 will find its way to a directory named for the project under | |
| 213 ``autobot.projects``. | |
