== Sample Slave Configuration File == | |||
You must edit the settings for basedir, slavename, and password. The basedir should be the absolute and fully expanded name of the directory containing the configuration file. For example, if the home directory for the buildbot user is /var/lib/buildbot and your slavename is set to 'debian-x86_64' , then basedir might be '/var/lib/buildbot/slaves/debian-x86_64'. The password should not be anything valuable. You'll be asked to provide the slavename and password so that they may be added to the master configuration on buildbot.octave.org. Do '''not''' post the password to the octave-maintainers mailing list. | You must edit the settings for basedir, slavename, and password.

== Space Requirements == | |||
Building Octave takes a significant amount of disk space. With debugging symbols, you may need several GB for each build, plus room for ccache (possibly 50GB) if you use it. If you use a cache size that is larger than the default, you'll need to specify that in the .ccache/ccache.conf file using a line like | Building Octave takes a significant amount of disk space.
