Move buildbot configuration files to SVN

[mloskot]

We've discussed with Hobu an idea of keeping Buildbot configuration files under control of SVN in order to:

• keep things in order
• have a simple backup system
• track changes easily, especially if I won't be the only person editing these files

Recently, I've redesigned the Buildbot configuration and now every Buildbot instance is a configured by a number of files, so I'd like to ask/propose if it would be a good idea to move it to SVN and organize per project/instance.

Sounds like a good idea.

I would extend it to the cronjobs which I am implementing on download.osgeo.org right now for the GRASS project (creation of prog-man, source tarballs etc).

Markus, good idea. I will keep Buildbot cronjobs there too.

Dear SAC Fellows, I'd like to move forward with this task? What SVN URL should I use, where to put the buildbot module?

[mloskot]

Thanks Howard for preparing repository (r1496).

I've started implementing this proposal. A bunch of first changesets corresponding to BuildBot configuration import to the repository are from r1497 to r1509.

Work in progress

[mloskot]

Second part of new configuration import to the repository has been applied, from r1520 to r1529.

The transition has completed. Closing the ticket.

Next, I'm going to updated the  BuildBot Configuration manual on the Wiki.

I have updated the BuildBot Configuration on Wiki.

The task has been accomplished.
