I have been working on a script that does the following:

 * Creates a temporal workingdir
 * Installs buildbot and its dependencies there (very same version used by the webkit.org buildbot master https://build.webkit.org/about ). This is important as there are problems that that may not be detected if you don't test with the same version that will be used on production.
 * Copies the buildmaster config files to the temporal workingdir.
 * Performs the required steps to start a buildmaster.
 * Creates the required config for each slave and starts all of them.


Then you can use your browser to log into the test buildmaster at http://localhost:8710/ and test to trigger manual builds, etc.

So you can actually test any configuration changes on the buildmaster on a test environment that is pretty much identical to the production one.

When you finish testing, simply press CTRL+C and all the temporal files will be cleaned. Note that if you actually want to trigger builds, the default path for the temporal workingdir on Linux (/tmp/) may have not enough free space. You can specify another temporal directory with the --base-temp-dir argument.
