There are two ways to do it:
Use [https://hg.mozilla.org/build/braindump/file/f8c90567ca00/buildbot-related/create-staging-master.pl this automation script] to create a build master, or follow the manual steps below.
* using an automation [https://hg.mozilla.org/build/braindump/file/tip/buildbot-related/create-staging-master.pl script]:
 
<pre>
First, clone the <code>buildbot-configs</code> repository.
perl create-staging-master.pl -u aselagea --master-kind=build --master-dir=build1 --http-port=8021
</pre>

=== Signing server setup ===
=== Signing server setup ===
Ever since we started signing all builds, a proper signing server setup in your dev master is necessary to do proper tests. The signing servers are configured in passwords.py and require real secrets (meaning, do not distribute them publicly). The [https://github.com/mozilla/build-buildbot-configs/blob/master/mozilla/passwords.py.template templatized version of passwords.py] will show you the format of the file, but you'll need to get the real values elsewhere. bhearsum's version is generally up-to-date and available at /builds/buildbot/bhearsum/builds/master/passwords.py on dev-master01. Note that in staging you must be careful not to use the Release or Nightly signing server instances, which will sign builds with real certificates (instead of self signed ones) -- so do NOT copy a passwords.py file from a production build master. If you have trouble with this, ask for help.

=== Disable periodic builds ===
 
If you are testing changes on your build master, it can be annoying for pgo builds to be invoked and run on your master consuming your build machine resources. To avoid this, comment out lines that define pgo_strategy like this BRANCHES['mozilla-central']['pgo_strategy'] = 'periodic' or BRANCHES['mozilla-esr31']['pgo_strategy'] = 'per-checkin'. Conversely, if you are testing pgo builds, you can change the start_hour and start_minute on a per branch basis.

Use [https://hg.mozilla.org/users/john.hopkins_mozillamessaging.com/misc/file/default/buildbot-scripts/create-staging-master this automation script] (recommended) to create a build master, or use the same approach as for build master.
We can create a test master using the same automation [https://hg.mozilla.org/build/braindump/file/tip/buildbot-related/create-staging-master.pl script] as for a build master:
<pre>
perl create-staging-master.pl -u aselagea --master-kind=test --master-dir=test1 --http-port=8049

== Sendchanges to your tests master from your build master ==
= Test your buildbot patches =
* If you're running *both* a build master and a tests master and want to test the sendchanges between them, you should have a similar local change on your build master (replace 9041 with the relevant port on your tests master):
Once you have created a build/test master, you can test various buildbot changes quite easily. Basic steps:
:* clone [https://hg.mozilla.org/build/braindump/ braindump] repo
:* cd to master's home folder && activate the virtual environment
:* make sure 'bb-configs' repo is up-to-date
<pre>
hg pull; hg update -C
</pre>
:* compute the initial list of builds/tests
<pre>
python ../braindump/buildbot-related/builder_list.py master/master.cfg > old
</pre>
:* apply your patch
<pre>
patch -p1 < <patch_name>.patch
</pre>
:* compute the list of builds/tests following your changes
<pre>
python ../braindump/buildbot-related/builder_list.py master/master.cfg > new
:* compute the diff between them
<pre>
diff -U 0 -p old new
</pre>
:*make sure your changes are not causing issues on the other masters
<pre>
bash buildbot-configs/test-masters.sh
</pre>

== Resetting db state ==
This is generally most useful when you want to get rid of all pending builds. First, add this to your master's Makefile:
<pre>
reset-db:
rm master/state.sqlite
cd master && $(BUILDBOT) upgrade-master $$PWD
</pre>
Then run:
<pre>
  make stop
  make reset-db
  make start
</pre>
== Getting build notifications ==
It might be useful to know when a build finishes or the status of certain builds. This way you don't have to keep an eye on your dev master and move on to other awesome things. There are a few ways to accomplish this:
:* Using Buildbot's IRC bot
:** add the following to your list of status obj in your master.cfg:
<pre>
  from buildbot.status import words
  ...
  irc = words.IRC("irc.mozilla.org", "<your-bot-nick>",
                  channels=["<irc-channel>"],  useSSL=True,
                  port=6697, allowForce=False,
                  notify_events={
                    'exception': 1,
                    'successToFailure': 1,
                    'failureToSuccess': 1,
                  })
  c['status'].append(irc)
</pre>
::* now reconfig and your should see your bot join <irc-channel>. From there you can do a number of things: http://docs.buildbot.net/0.8.0/IRC-Bot.html
::* I like to start a private chat with my bot and request the build status when a job finishes. This gives me actual pings! You can do this like so from irc:
<pre>
  > /query <your-bot-nick>
  > notify on finished
</pre>
:* Using Check4Change Firefox extension:
:** this extension will check if a page changes without having to actually refresh! You can hook this up to your dev master buildbot web UI
:** for more details: http://www.check4change.com/
