 Description   

From otto:

Help us increase Buildbot capacity by writing some docs (or pointing
to existing docs) on how to set up a new machine so that it can join the
buildbot "cluster of machines". We might get some people to donate us
machines. If so, they need instructions on how to bootstrap them so that
buildbot can start running.

Is this maybe the best description we have? https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/buildbot-setup-buildbot-setup-for-ubuntu-debian/

It talks about bzr so I guess it is quite outdated. There is a line about how to join the "buildbot network" sudo -u buildbot buildbot create-slave --usepty=0 /var/lib/buildbot/maria-slave hasky.askmonty.org:9989 valgrind <passwd> but it does not mention what principles apply to those who want to donate a machine that joins the network nor where to get the password.

Maybe greenman can also help in updating the buildbot docs a bit? The goal is to get docs that describe how potential supporters of MariaDB can donate computing capacity to us by adding hosts to our buildbot network.
