[Buildbot-devel] correction to manual, suggestion for 'master.cfg'

[John Pye]

Hi,

Here are a couple of very small suggestions for Buildbot based on what I 
picked up yesterday.

In the BuildBot manual, in section 2.5 (Launching the daemons) the 
suggested 'cron' entry is:

     @reboot buildbot BASEDIR

This should be changed to

     @reboot buildbot start BASEDIR

It might be useful also to clarify that this needs to be done while 
logged in as 'buildmaster' and 'buildslave': not while logged in as root.

Next, as I tend to use 'vim' for small editing tasks, it would be 
helpful to add in master.cfg, in line 2,

    # ex: set syntax=python:

Without this, vim formatting behaves very strangely, owing to the 
nonstandard '.cfg' file extension.

Cheers
JP
