 You can use Snakebite for this sort of stuff. Grab a slave ID off
 Antoine, then log in to whatever slave you want and set up a new
 instance (say, ~/buildslave-with-O). (Look at existing slave
 details in ~/buildslave/buildbot.tac for hints on password etc.)
 And as a general side bar: all committers automatically have full
 access to Snakebite. You don't need to register keys* or sign up or
 anything. I've tried to make it as painless as possible to connect
 to:
 % cd ~
 % svn co http://svn.snakebite.net/.snakebite
 % cd .snakebite
 % sh snakebite.subr
 [*]: just to clarify: Snakebite's already been primed
 with whatever ssh key you use to commit to hg.
 From then on, just run ~/.snakebite/sb to get access to the host
 menu. That will work out of the box for all committers. (Next set
 of enhancements will focus on linking a local source directory (on
 your laptop/desktop) to Snakebite and spinning up a buildbot master
 + slaves on demand, so you won't even have to log in and faff around
 with priming a build environment like you do now. (I, uh, sort of
 need to do a little funding/donation drive before then though, which
 is what I'm currently organizing.))
