    19 I'll summarize to tahoe-dev, and then let's take the back-and-forth 
    20 details of the setup into private mail so as not to bore the non-
    21 buildbot-operating mailing list readers.

    23 Step 1: install buildbot on your system (presumably using the OpenBSD 
    24 port)

    3112So, running under a separate user account without high privileges is 
    32 definitely a good idea, but since you're an OpenBSD user I guess I 
     13definitely a good idea, but since you're a security-aware user I guess I 
    3314don't need to tell you this.

     31Step 3: choose a name for your buildslave which will fit into the 
    5132list of buildslave names: http://allmydata.org/buildbot/buildslaves . 
    5233A hostname would be a good choice.
    5334
    54 Step 3: Receive a password from me in email.
     35Step 4: Receive a password from me in email.

    56 Step 4: create the buildslave with "buildbot create-slave $BASEDIR 
    57 dev.allmydata.com:9987 $SLAVENAME $PASSWORD"
     37Step 5: create the buildslave with {{{buildbot create-slave $BASEDIR dev.allmydata.org:9987 $SLAVENAME $PASSWORD}}}

     43Step 6: Please do this two more times, one for pycryptopp and one for 
    6544zfec.  Those two use the same $SLAVENAME and $PASSWORD and hostname 
    66 ("dev.allmydata.com"), but a different $BASEDIR (whatever directory 
     45("dev.allmydata.org"), but a different $BASEDIR (whatever directory 
    6746you want -- I personally use a different user account for my tahoe-

     52Okay, once you've gotten all this working then we'll see your machine on the buildbot pages and we'll see how well Tahoe-LAFS 
    7553passes unit tests on your platform.  Eventually I would like to go on 
    7654to the next step, which is integrating Tahoe-LAFS into the official 
    77 OpenBSD package system (ports) and adding tests to check whether 
    78 Tahoe-LAFS is still correctly building from its ports package.  But
