llvm dev - Aug 2014 - [LLVMdev] Build bot for documentation?

Thanks. I guess I'll have to do some reading because I don't have a
good high level understanding of how the build bot works.

For gribozavr4 does that mean running a new buildbot slave process on
the machine or can slaves build multiple configurations (is this the
same as what buildbot calls a "builder")? Also is it the master or
slave that chooses which configurations a slave should build?
>From reading http://llvm.org/docs/HowToAddABuilder.html it wasn't
completely clear to me as this documentation seems to add a slave and
builder at the same time, whereas you are suggesting we use an
existing slave.

Thanks,

We will be just running multiple build configurations on the same machines.

For example, this machine
http://lab.llvm.org:8011/buildslaves/gribozavr1 builds three
configurations already.

Yes, that page is more about adding a new machine.  Please take a look
at examples in
https://llvm.org/viewvc/llvm-project/zorg/trunk/zorg/buildbot/builders/

These are two scripts that have been written recently and don't have
lots of complexity in them:

Hi Dmitri,

Sorry it's taken so long for me to take a look at this. I've finally
found some free time to look at this :)

I've got created a factory for building Sphinx documentation on my
local machine and that's mostly working so I plan to submit a patch
soon. Can I check a few things with you?

- Is it still okay to use 'gribozavr4' as the build slave?

- The factory I've created made requires CMake, Ninja and Sphinx to
all be installed. Are those all installed on 'gribozavr4'?

Thanks,
Dan.
