Thanks for your interest!

Your box must be able to compile LDC. The easiest way is to 
compile LLVM and LDC once. Install LLVM in /opt/llvm and LDC in 
/opt/ldc2 or make sure that both are in the $PATH variable.

Then you need to install a buildbot slave. The master has version 
0.8.12. The config of the slave is in the file buildbot.tac. You 
need to change the following:

buildmaster_host = 'buildbot.ldc-developers.org'
port = 9989
slavename = 'smartos'
passwd = '<...see below...>'

Please sent me an email (kai at redstar.de) when your buildbot 
slave is ready. Then I will add your slave and send you the 
required password (for the passwd variable above) back.

The buildbot server currently starts builds with commits on 
master and ltsmaster branch. I plan to support building pull 
requests.

The UI of the buildbot is at http://buildbot.ldc-developers.org/
