ReferencePlatforms/UnitTestOnly/10.5-Xserve

Version 1

Install OS

Image machine with standard 10.5.2 Xserve PPC build machine image. The image is actually an Intel image, so we need to remove the installed version of MacPorts

sudo port -f uninstall installed

sudo rm -rf \
   /opt/local \
   /Applications/DarwinPorts \
   /Applications/MacPorts \
   /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.* \
   /Library/Receipts/DarwinPorts*.pkg \
   /Library/Receipts/MacPorts*.pkg \
   /Library/StartupItems/DarwinPortsStartup \
   /Library/Tcl/darwinports1.0 \
   /Library/Tcl/macports1.0 \
   ~/.macports
#Existing mozilla tools are I386 only
sudo rm -rf /tools
rm ~/.profile #only contained useless things

System Preferences

Open System Preferences and in:

• Energy Saver set both times to 'never'
• Spotlight set the main hard drive as a private location to stop spotlight from indexing it
• Desktop and Screensaver set the screensaver time to 'never'
• Dock and set the dock to automatically hide
• Displays and set resolution to 1280x1024@60hz
• Sharing and enable screen sharing and remote login

Runtime requirements

You need to install mercurial, wget and buildbot. Instead of installing macports and xcode tools we are going to use the built in version of Twisted 2.5.0:

curl -O http://mercurial.selenic.com/release/mercurial-1.5.2.tar.gz
tar zxf mercurial-1.5.2.tar.gz
cd mercurial-1.5.2
python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install

curl -O http://tmrc.mit.edu/mirror/twisted/Twisted/2.5/Twisted-2.5.0.tar.bz2
tar jxf Twisted-2.5.0.tar.bz2
cd Twisted-2.5.0
sudo python setup.py install

hg clone http://hg.mozilla.org/build/buildbot buildbot
cd buildbot
hg up -C --rev 53
python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install

For WGet:

curl -O http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/wget-latest.tar.gz
tar zxf wget-latest.tar.gz
cd wget-1.12 #or whatever version is the latest
./configure
make
sudo make install

Buildbot Slave

Finally, set up your buildbot slave

mkdir -p /builds/slave
cd /builds/slave
buildbot create-slave . master:port username password

Setup buildbot start on boot

I don't know how to do this at the moment. If you know how, please add it to this page.

• Ensure the the correct user and slave directory are set in the script (cltbld and /builds/slave by default)

From VNC:

• Make sure the resolution is set to 1280x1024. (this is not in the xserve ref image)
• System Prefs -> Accounts -> Login Options
  • Set 'Automatic Login' to 'cltbld', enter the password when prompted.
