Hm, what is done for each machine depends on the machine's owner.  One thing we
could do is creating a section in the BuildBot wiki page and asking each owner
to include (maybe using a pre-defined template) the specifics of each machine's
configuration.

There is no such thing as "bash scripts" for setting up the machines.  This is
a manual procedure and each owner decides what she wants to install (obviously,
the machine needs to be able to fully build GDB and to run "make check-gdb"). 
For example, some slaves there do not run tests for the SystemTap SDT probes,
while others do.

If you are interested, the configuration files for our BuildBot can be found
at:

  <http://git.sergiodj.net/?p=gdb-buildbot.git;a=summary>

I think the exact distribution is already being listed for all buildslaves (at
<http://gdb-build.sergiodj.net/buildslaves>).  Some of them also include a bit
more information about the machines.

Yeah, that list is just a suggestion, based on the Fedora buildslaves that I
maintain.  For now, if you want to know the details of a specific buildslave,
you will have to contact its owner.

> If would also be great to link to those scripts from the buildbot web UI.

There are no setup scripts, but maybe we could like the GDB BuildBot wiki page
from the web UI.  I gladly accept patches for that, BTW!

Thanks for the report.
