XCode Installation

The next step is to retrieve the Mac reference platform packages from CVS:

export CVS_RSH=ssh
ocvs -d :ext:unittest@cvs.mozilla.org:/mofo co ref-platforms/mac

Install Xcode
1. Mount the Xcode dmg
2. Double click on XcodeTools.mpkg
3. In the 'Installation Type' section choose 'Customize' and enable everything under 'Cross-Development'

Wget

curl https://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/wget/wget-1.10.2.tar.gz > wget-1.10.2.tar.gz
tar -zvxf wget-1.10.2.tar.gz
cd wget-1.10.2
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install

BuildBot Setup

Install Python 2.4.4

Download and install MacPython

wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.4.4/python-2.4.4-macosx2006-10-18.dmg
hdiutil attach python-2.4.4-macosx2006-10-18.dmg
cd /Volumes/Univeral\ MacPython\ 2.4.4
sudo installer -pkg MacPython.mpkg -target /
cd ..
hdiutil detach /Volumes/Univeral\ MacPython\ 2.4.4

You must logout and log back in to make sure you are using the new version of Python.

Install Twisted and Zope-Interface

sudo python setup.py install
cd ../TwistedCore-2.4.0/
python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install
cd ..
python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install
cd ..

cd buildbot
python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install
cd ..
rm -rf buildbot/

Talos Setup

Install PyYAML

wget https://pyyaml.org/download/pyyaml/PyYAML-3.05.tar.gz
tar -zvxf PyYAML-3.05.tar.gz
cd PyYAML-3.05
python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install

Setting up a Talos Buildbot slave

How to setup a Buildbot Talos slave (replace the master.host, username, and password with the correct values)

cd ~
mkdir talos-slave
buildbot create-slave --umask=002 talos-slave master.host:9989 username password

Edit the buildbot.tac file to have keepalive = None

You should then start the slave once to create the proper directory structure.

buildbot start talos-slave
buildbot stop talos-slave

When running Buildbot slaves on Mac you must start it from a Terminal window in VNC and leave that window open (even though it's a daemon process). hdiutil will throw errors if you do not.

Apache Setup

The DocumentRoot will be dependent on the builddir of your Buildbot slave. In this section that directory will be referred to as $BUILDDIR.

For machines in the pool of slaves, $BUILDDIR should be 'talos-data'.

Pageset

You will need to install a pageset in /Users/mozqa/pages

The rest

Create an empty directory so Apache doesn't complain:

cd ~/talos-slave/$BUILDDIR
mkdir talos

Open up /etc/apache2/httpd/httpd.conf and change both references of "/Library/WebServer/Documents" to "/Users/mozqa/talos-slave/$BUILDDIR/talos".

Add an alias so Apache knows where the pageset is. Add this to your configuration file:

Alias /page_load_test/pages /Users/mozqa/pages
<Directory /Users/mozqa/pages>
    Options Indexes
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

Turn off logging, remove any lines that begin with "CustomLog"

Restart apache with:

sudo apachectl start

Force correct screen size on reboot

Leopard sometimes loses screen resolution settings on reboot. Grab a copy of cscreen.dmg (http://browsershots.org/downloads/thirdparty/cscreen.dmg)

Install cscreen into /Users/mozqa/. Install cscreen.resize.plist to /Library/LaunchAgents/.

Post-cloning Setup for Pool

verify that screensaver is turned off
verify that spotlight is disabled
verify Bluetooth Assistent is disabled on boot (System Preferences -> Bluetooth -> Advanced -> "Open Setup Assistant...")
Edit /Users/mozqa/talos-slave/buildbot.tac.sample and update buildmaster_host and slavename appropriately
Rename buildbot.tac.sample to buildbot.tac
Reboot

Post-puppet packages

Since the deployment of Puppet, future changes to the ref platform are management by it. Because of this, providing _exact_ installation instructions can be tricky. All of the packages listed below are installed on the ref platform and some installation guidelines are provided. Looking at the osx talos puppet-manifests repository may help if you are having trouble.
