Arch Linux

Hi,

Buildbot was split into two parts when upstream released 0.8.1: builbot, which is the buildbot master, and buildbot-slave, which is the buildbot slave.

However, Arch buildbot-0.8.1 is missing the whole slave part. It can only be used for buildbot masters, and slaves which were working with 0.8.0 are now failing with this traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):

I think either buildbot-slave should be installed by the buildbot package or a buildbot-slave package should be available in [community] (with buildbot warning at upgrade time that users should install the buildbot-slave package).

Meanwhile, I've uploaded a buildbot-slave package on AUR: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40182. Feel free to adopt it if you want :) .

Flagged as severity=high because all buildbot slaves running on Arch will break when upgrading to 0.8.1. I don't know if it is a correct usage of this severity though.
