Debian init script

Buildbot init script from the Debian/Ubuntu package.  Got this by running 
  apt-get source buildbot
on an Ubuntu "hardy heron" (alpha) box; the script was in
buildbot-0.7.5/debian/buildbot.init.

Proposed Red Hat-style init script

This one was pointed out by a reader of the buildbot-dev mailing list: I
grabbed it straight from the source:
 
http://perl-qa.hexten.net/wiki/index.php/Buildbot#Make_Build_master_or_Slave_Start_on_System_Reboot


Looks to me like it needs a little work to be more general, e.g. by reading
variables from /etc/sysconfig/buildbot or something like that.

A super-general init script would allow running multiple instances of BB (e.g.
one master and a couple of slaves), but I expect very few people would need
that.  Save it for the next version, or wait until someone asks.  ;-)

Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA.
More information and reason for this action is here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 9.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '9'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

I got email saying this bug needs more info from me. But I cannot tell what info is requested. I described the problem and I provided a rough solution. Nobody other than me or the automated "Bug Zapper" has commented on this bug. So what more can I provide?

Hi Greg, you're actually ok. It's just the standard behavior of the HouseKeeping script to put the bug in needinfo state.

I'll try to do something about this as part of the 0.8.x update

Thanks for your help

This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen 
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that

I just cloned the git repo for Fedora's buildbot package, and it looks like this problem is still present. There's no sign of an init script, or indeed anything being installed in /etc at all. Since BuildBot is a background daemon, it really makes sense to provide an init script for it.

(Or maybe a systemd config file these days. Whatever.)

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle.
Changing version to '19'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)

More information and reason for this action is here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Fedora19

I'm setting this back to Rawhide and marking as an RFE so it won't continue to be auto-closed.
