1============================================== 2 Running a GTK+ build slave under daemontools 3============================================== 4 5This directory contains several scripts which can be used to run a WebKitGTK+ 6build slave under daemontools [1]. This is convenient because daemontools 7will automatically restart services when they die, and that means less human 8intervention is needed. 9 10 11Dependencies 12============ 13 14In order to use the provided service control files, you will need the 15following: 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 24In short, in a Debian-based system you can ensure you have the needed bits 25with the following command: 26 27 apt-get install inotify-tools daemontools-run 28 29 30Setup 31===== 32 331. Follow the instructions at http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/BuildBot 34 352. Install the dependencies outlined above. 36 373. Copy "daemontools-buildbot.conf" to "/etc/daemontools-buildbot.conf" 38 394. Edit the configuration file to suit your needs, the comments should 40 be self-explanatory. 41 425. 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 47References 48========== 49 50[1] http://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html 51[2] http://wiki.github.com/rvoicilas/inotify-tools/ 52 53
