1 ============================================== 2 Running a GTK+ build slave under daemontools 3 ============================================== 4 5 This directory contains several scripts which can be used to run a WebKitGTK+ 6 build slave under daemontools [1]. This is convenient because daemontools 7 will automatically restart services when they die, and that means less human 8 intervention is needed. 9 10 11 Dependencies 12 ============ 13 14 In order to use the provided service control files, you will need the 15 following: 16 17 * The GNU Bash shell (the scripts contain some bash-isms) 18 19 * The daemontools package (or one of its drop-in replacements, like runit 20 or freedt; but only daemontools has been tested so far). 21 22 * The crash dump monitor also uses "inotifywait" (part of inotify-tools [2]) 23 24 In short, in a Debian-based system you can ensure you have the needed bits 25 with the following command: 26 27 apt-get install inotify-tools daemontools-run 28 29 30 Setup 31 ===== 32 33 1. Follow the instructions at http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/BuildBot 34 35 2. Install the dependencies outlined above. 36 37 3. Copy "daemontools-buildbot.conf" to "/etc/daemontools-buildbot.conf" 38 39 4. Edit the configuration file to suit your needs, the comments should 40 be self-explanatory. 41 42 5. Drop the "buildbot", "pulseaudio" and "xvfb" directories (plus 43 "crashmon", if desired) to the service control directory of 44 daemontools; for Debian-based setups that would be "/etc/service" 45 46 47 References 48 ========== 49 50 [1] http://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html 51 [2] http://wiki.github.com/rvoicilas/inotify-tools/ 52 53
