New submission from Eric Snow <ericsnowcurren...@gmail.com>: Here's a patch to add a page to the devguide on running a build slave. I copied pretty liberally from the wiki (http://wiki.python.org/moin/BuildBot). That page may or may not be up to date (I don't know), so the bulk of this new page may also be out of date...
The current devguide buildbots page is oriented toward the use of buildbots in the dev process. In contrast, this new page is all about running one. I figured it is yet another easy way that people can contribute to Python. I didn't stick in the windows-specific buildbot info (http://wiki.python.org/moin/BuildbotOnWindows), but did link to the wiki page. I did include the info, as far as I understood it, from a recent python-dev thread (http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2011-October/113935.html). I added a link to the devguide index page, but it may need to be shifted to the right spot (maybe right after "Running & Writing Tests"). I also renamed buildbots.rst to continuous_integration.rst (and updated reference accordingly). I want to be sure attribution is appropriate, regarding the text pulled from the wiki page and from the python-dev thread. Is linking to the thread sufficient? This is a rough stab (especially with the inclusion of the still-ongoing python-dev thread); but hopefully this gets a ball rolling and doesn't take much work to polish. :) ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Devguide, Documentation files: buildslaves.diff keywords: patch messages: 145120 nosy: brett.cannon, docs@python, eric.snow priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Add "Running a Build Slave" page to the devguide type: feature request versions: Python 3.3 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file23338/buildslaves.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13124> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
