This is notes for now.  It will get changed and updated in {{bug|605278}}.


Note that puppet startup and the buildslave startup are generally fairly tightly intertwined.  That will need to be separated out a little bit!
= Linux =
== Build (CentOS 5) ==
/etc/init.d/buildbot depends on /etc/init.d/puppet, which blocks until puppet
runs.  /etc/init.d/buildbot-tac will run right away.  buildbot-tac is installed
by puppet, so there are at least two race conditions here.
buildbot-tac runs buildbot-tac.py only on the first boot, creating the
buildbot.tac file for the slave.
buildbot-tac.py is installed as part of an RPM (build-tools - {{bug|615301}}).
Builds run in /builds/slave.
== Test (Fedora 12) ==
On startup, test boxes automatically login, and run <tt>home/cltbld/.config/autostart/gnome-terminal.desktop</tt>.  This file runs <tt>/home/cltbld/run-puppet-and-buildbot.sh</tt>, which runs puppet in a loop, and when that's complete, runs 'buildbot start /home/cltbld/talos-slave'.
= Darwin =
== Build ==
com.reductivelabs.puppet.plist runs /usr/local/bin/sleep-and-run-puppet.sh,
which is presumably installed as part of the base image.  This script sleeps
for 60 seconds, then runs puppet in the foreground every 60 seconds until it
succeeds.
There is a buildbot-tac launchd script which runs /usr/local/bin/buildbot-tac,
which is installed by puppet.  This launchd script does not wait for puppet, so
there is a race condition here, although the 60-second pause in the puppet
launch script probably eliminates any risk.
The buildbot launchd script waits until puppet has run, and then invokes
'buildbot start' directly.
= Windows =
== Build ==
buildbot.bat is in cltbld's "Startup Items".  It is installed via OPSI, but
it's not in the OPSI hg repo, because it contains passwords.  buildbot.bat runs
buidlbot-tac.py, via a checkout of http://hg.mozilla.org/build/tools at
d:\tools.  That checkout is only done once.
Once buildbot-tac.py has created the tac file, buildbot.bat runs
start-buildbot.bat, which sets up some VC++ variables and runs
start-buildbot.sh, which finally runs 'buildbot start' in the appropriate
directory.
== Test ==
Talos windows systems are not administered by OPSI, so the various scripts are installed by hand.  I don't know how they work yet
