The files in this directory constitute the continuous builder:

godashboard/: An AppEngine that acts as a server
builder.sh, buildcontrol.sh: used by the build slaves
buildcron.sh: a build loop that can be run regularly via cron

If you wish to run a Go builder, please email golang-dev@googlegroups.com


To set up a Go builder automatically, run buildcron.sh
(you might want to read it first to see what it does).

To set up a Go builder by hand:

* (Optional) create a new user 'gobuild'
* Edit ~gobuild/.bash_profile and add the following:

export GOROOT=/gobuild/go
export GOARCH=XXX
export GOOS=XXX
export GOBIN=/gobuild/bin
export PATH=$PATH:/gobuild/bin
export BUILDER=$GOOS-$GOARCH
export BUILDHOST=godashboard.appspot.com

* Write the key ~gobuild/.gobuildkey 
  You need to get it from someone who knows the key.
  You may also use a filename of the form .gobuildkey-$BUILDER if you
  wish to run builders for multiple targets.

* Append your username and password googlecode.com credentials from
    https://code.google.com/hosting/settings
  to the buildkey file in the format "Username\nPassword\n".
  (This is for uploading tarballs to the project downloads section,
   and is an optional step.)

* sudo apt-get install bison gcc libc6-dev ed make
* cd ~gobuild
* mkdir bin
* hg clone https://go.googlecode.com/hg/ $GOROOT
* copy builder.sh and buildcontrol.py to ~gobuild
* chmod a+x ./builder.sh ./buildcontrol.py
* cd go
* ../buildcontrol.py next $BUILDER  (just to check that things are ok)
* cd ..
* ./builder.sh (You probably want to run this in a screen long term.)
