This is administration notes and log for the buildbot.net machine.

Notes

• Trac git plugin is under /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages
• Trac github plugin is, too - it's installed with 'python setup.py install' as directed in  http://github.com/davglass/github-trac
• backups of trac-buildbot are performed four times daily. buildbot.net admins should do git clone buildbot@buildbot.net:buildbot-trac-backup and pull frequently to provide redundant copies. Remember to keep the contents private: there might be trac passwords inside.
