There are two options basically:
1. you only run the slave at certain times of the day/night. The master
will combine all outstanding jobs and trigger the slave as soon as it
connects. Disadvantage is that there's no way as far as I know to stop
the buildslave gracefully, so if there's a build in progress that
results in a FAIL mail to svn-breakage. If you want to do one nightly
build per slave, than I can schedule that at a certain time and you just
make sure the slave is online at that time. Then you kill it 2 hours
later so you're sure no build is in progress.
Note that it's always the slave that connects to the master, over HTTP.
No incoming connections need to be enabled. However, you are giving a
remote software and person (ie. me) access to execute arbitrary shell
commands in the slave environment.
2. you do not use a buildslave, but send the results of a build to
svn-breakage. This was the pre-buildbot method, but AFAIC still valid.
The scripts we used for those nightly builds are in
trunk/tools/test-scripts_at_2560. They were deleted afterwards so probably
not really up to date.
I prefer option 1; but would be equally happy if you implement option 2.
