The existence of these scripts is a fairly non-standard feature in the llvm buildbot world. They were created to provide a layer of indirection between the buildmaster and the slave. The main reason for that was that there's a fairly elaborate dance you need to do to setup remote testing. Implementing this as a series of buildbot steps was tricky and required a master restart everytime you needed to change things. I wasn't involved in setting this up back then, but I guess at some point someone just got fed up with that and implemented this. I'm don't think we should be recommending using these for new buildbots. There is a more standard lldb buildslave factory class in the zorg repo that does not need these scripts (but probably needs some resuscitation) and that's what I would recommend for the regular setup. The scripted factory can stay for the more advanced uses, but here I would say it's up to the buildslave maintainer to create these scripts for himself. _______________________________________________ lldb-dev mailing list lldb-dev@lists.llvm.org http://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lldb-dev
