SMF manifest for buildbot

As I mentioned in a previous post, I use buildbot for testing my Solaris installations. I'll be writing more about that in a future article. Until then here is a Solaris 10 SMF manifest that I've developed for starting up a buildbot master or slave. By default it creates one instance called default with a configuration path of /home/buildbot/master.

Before using this manifest you'll need to create your buildbot master or slave directories yourself using buildbot create-master or buildbot create-slave.

To change the path run:

# svccfg -s svc:/site/application/buildbot:default setprop buildbot/config="/path/to/buildbot/dir"

Then enable the service:

# svcadm enable svc:/site/application/buildbot:default

With this manifest you can run as many buildbot masters and slaves as your system can handle.

To add another instance run:

# svccfg -s svc:/site/application/buildbot add instance
# svccfg -s svc:/site/application/buildbot:instance addpg buildbot application
# svccfg -s svc:/site/application/buildbot:instance setprop buildbot/config="/path/to/instance"

Now enable the new buildbot instance:

# svcadm enable svc:/site/application/buildbot:instance

Update: Added the PATH environment variable to the manifest.
