[Buildbot-devel] github_buildbot.py set-up info?

[Matthew Morse]

Until now, our buildbots have been triggered by post-receive hooks that call git_buildbot.py, which works well--if you have access to the repo to install such things. Now I need to trigger builds for a project that is hosted in a github repo where I can't install those tools. However, github supports posting to a post_receive URL (http://help.github.com/post-receive-hooks/) and there's a github_buildbot.py in the contrib folder that looks like what I need to catch those posts.

Are there instructions anywhere for setting up github_buildbot.py? I couldn't find anything other than comments in the source and a promising Google result that returns 404. 

It looks like you run github_buildbot.py on the master and configure github to post to it, but I thought I'd check if there were directions or pointers before I charged in that direction.

Thanks,
- Matt
