515165 - Buildbot should be managed by puppet on Linux slaves

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: General, defect)

Description

[[e-mail] (:bhearsum)]

We're going to be pulling in a couple of upstream changes very soon (in the bug this one blocks). One of them requires slaveside code changes. We need to get Buildbot managed by Puppet to make deployment feasible.

Attachment: manage Linux buildbot install with Puppet

This patch looks more complicated than it is due to the whitespace changes (to make the indentation not suck). The actual changes here are as follows:
* Add buildbot to the install_devtools list
* Add /tools/buildbot to the symlink list, with force enabled so it removes the existing directory.

I'd like to deploy this as is once it's ready, and then modify it when we pull in bug 514242. This way, we have an easy way to backout those changes if necessary.

we'll need a way to delete old versions eventually, but this is ok for now.
