I understand.

    I'd like to keep the 128.238.56.50 machine as the master since
    the rest
    are more or less "disposable".  So we can wait for Pd-extended
    to be
    released to upgrade (less than 2 weeks hopefully), we can work
    with the
    version that is installed now, or if you want you could
    install a newer
    version manually, then we can switch to the new Debian package
    once
    Pd-extended is released.

Sounds good. So you mean i shall install a new version somewhere under /var/lib/buildbot? Will it run ok as a daemon? Or shall i build a new version which you then install over the existing one?

Ok, I just built the package myself from source and removed the dependency on dpkg 1.15 and set it to 1.14 for lenny instead. That means 0.7.12 is now installed on debian-stable-i386.

Also, about the slave names, would it be possible to use the same names that are on the PdLab page? I.e. not CamelCase, but with-dashes instead :)
