Very cool, Trent! I also love the retro use of svn as a tie-in to how long you have been fighting to bring this project to fruition. =) On Tue, Sep 11, 2012 at 8:20 AM, Trent Nelson wrote:

Quick start:

% cd ~ && svn co http://svn.snakebite.net/.snakebite && cd .snakebite && sh snakebite.subr

If all goes well, you should see something like this:

A .snakebite/snakebite.subr A .snakebite/ssh_config_ext A .snakebite/ssh_known_hosts U .snakebite Checked out revision 58. Created link for 'sb'. Created link for 'sbx'. Created link for 'sby'. Created link for 'sbctl'. Fixed permissions for /Users/Trent/.snakebite/snakebite.subr. The following commands can now be executed directly: sb sbx sby sbctl Testing connection.........done. Getting a list of your projects...done. Looking up your username for project 'cpython'...done. Getting project details for 'trent.nelson@cpython'...done. Setting current project to 'cpython'...done. Trent, you're now configured for cpython.

General notes:

- Almost all of the hosts have a corresponding cpython build slave, which always lives in ~/buildslave.

- You're more than welcome to set up local builds on each box. Keep everything in ~/hg. Some hosts already have a ~/hg dir, others don't. The layout should be:

~/hg/3.x ~/hg/3.2 ~/hg/2.7

If they don't exist, feel free to create them. It's going to be easiest to just clone the corresponding build directory from ~/buildslave, i.e. if you want a local 3.x area but no ~/hg/3.x exists:

% cd ~/hg % hg clone ~/buildslave/3.x-*/build 3.x

Once a base repo has been created, you can clone a local copy: hg clone 3.x 3.x.trent.issue2811

Try follow that naming convention as it'll make it easier for other developers to figure out what each directory is for.

Also, try and keep tabs on local builds and remove things you don't need once you're done. I haven't finished hooking up the SAN yet so everything is on local disks at the moment; disk space is a bit light in some places.

- If you're not used to vi shell key bindings, you're going to have a bad time :-)

- Almost all of the hosts (except for the *BSDs) have been set up to use a common ~/.zsh and ~/.vim: http:/svn.snakebite.net/home/trunk/ http:/svn.snakebite.net/skel/trunk/ They're both based on random dotfile hacking I've done over the years and are far from elegant -- so, suggestions welcome.

If I'm awake and working, I'll be on #python-dev, so that'll be the best place to get me if you need immediate assistance.

So, log in and have a play around! Oh, X11 forwarding works, too, just invoke `sbx` (or `sby`) instead of `sb` and it'll invoke ssh with -X or -Y respectively. All the proprietary UNIX hosts have X11 installed, complete with glorious circa-late-nineties Motif eye candy.

For those looking for tangible things to do... take a look at the current buildslaves with [SB] in the name -- almost all of them are failing in some way/shape/form, so there's plenty of stuff to get your teeth stuck into :-)

Haha. I probably shouldn't mention that I started writing all the wrapper .snakebite/svn stuff from scratch last Wednesday :P Trent.

(Pro-tip though: `sh snakebite.subr` will always do its best to re-initialize everything, like fixing permissions when svn update strips them, etc.)

That's actually causing some problems - if SELinux security context info or ACLs are stored for the directory, then the extra character (either '.' or '+') in the ls -l output causes the permissions check to fail.

Easy enough to fix though, the __get_perms command just needs to be changed to:

ls -l $1 | cut -b 1-10

Ta, fixed.
