 Hi all.

 I've set up a buildmaster and buildslaves successfully. What I'm having
 trouble with is hooking up darcs to buildbot.

 IMO it would improve the documentation tremendously to include download
 locations for the elusive "contrib/darcs_buildbot.py" script and
 instructions on modifying a pre-existing darcs infrastructure to send
 change notifications to buildbot, with attention given to which repo(s) to
 modify, and how to use "darcs push posthooks" (the darcs manual is
 minimally helpful).

 I've managed to install and configure buildbot as a buildmaster on Ubuntu
 Lucid 32-bit (tricky), a buildslave on Lucid 32-bit (easy) and a
 buildslave service on Win7 64-bit (quite hard), but I'm finding the next
 bit impossible due to lack of information in Google.

 Thanks for reading. :)
