Change the line 3902 time git-buildpackage --git-pristine-tar --git-notify=false --git-pbuilder --git-dist=trusty --git-arch=amd64 to 3902 time git-buildpackage --git-pristine-tar --git-notify=false
Ok, I did that, we will see how it goes. Buildbot is suffering a lot from insufficient resources, one of my test builds has been waiting for > 6 hours, and has not started yet :-/. So some patience is needed.
On the first time you should run manually apt-get install git-buildpackage gbp-clone --pristine-tar git://github.com/ottok/mariadb-5.5.git
For now, I opted to just do this from scratch in every build. It won't be run that often anyway, I suppose. Maybe it would make sense to do this in a permanent VM (one that is updated in each build and is not reset for each new build). We have a couple that do that already, but it will need some dedicated copies of the VM images. I think you were already discussing this with Daniel, related to keepting the VM up-to-date with Debian sid? The build could then just run apt-get dist-upgrade at the start.
(gbp is a wrapper around git, it just makes sure git pulls in all branches and tags that git-buildpackage needs)
Ok, I see, I'm not really much familiar with .deb build infrastructure.
About your second message: yes, I have machines available and I could try to setup a mariadb-10.0 build on my own slave. Can you send me a link that describes how slaves work and how I set one up?
Here is the template we use to send for new build slaves: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- From: XXX-from Subject: Buildbot slave account details To: XXX-to Thank you very much for offering to run a Buildbot slave builder for MariaDB! I have created a slave account with these details: host: hasky.askmonty.org port: 9989 slave name: XXX-name password: XXX-passwd build directory: XXX-dir You will need this information when setting up the Buildbot slave. Generic information about setting up can be found in the Buildbot manual: http://docs.buildbot.net/0.8.5/full.html Just grab me on IRC or send mail if you have questions. And thanks again for offering to help the MariaDB project in this way! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- You should be able to install buildbot with apt-get. If you inform Daniel about how many buildslaves you will be running, he should be able to set up the accounts inside buildbot and inform you about the values you need for the XXX'es. (I am not sure if this would be one buildslave doing both trusty and sid? Or two buildslaves (on the same machine, using VMs or chroots), one for each? Or just one buildslave doing one of them only? Anyway, either could work, whatever makes most sense). - Kristian.
