-@subsection Automatic large-scale deployment in the PlanetLab testbed
-
-PlanetLab is a testbed for computer networking and distributed systems
-research. It was established in 2002 and as of June 2010 was composed of
-1090 nodes at 507 sites worldwide.
-
-To automate the GNUnet we created a set of automation tools to simplify
-the large-scale deployment. We provide you a set of scripts you can use
-to deploy GNUnet on a set of nodes and manage your installation.
-
-Please also check @uref{https://old.gnunet.org/installation-fedora8-svn} and
-@uref{https://old.gnunet.org/installation-fedora12-svn} to find detailed
-instructions how to install GNUnet on a PlanetLab node.

-@node Install buildslave on PlanetLab nodes running fedora core 8
-@subsubsection Install buildslave on PlanetLab nodes running fedora core 8
-@c ** Actually this is a subsubsubsection, but must be fixed differently
-@c ** as subsubsection is the lowest.
-
-Since most of the PlanetLab nodes are running the very old Fedora core 8
-image, installing the buildslave software is quite some pain. For our
-PlanetLab testbed we figured out how to install the buildslave software
-best.
-
-@c This is a very terrible way to suggest installing software.
-@c FIXME: Is there an official, safer way instead of blind-piping a
-@c script?
-@c FIXME: Use newer pypi URLs below.
-Install Distribute for Python:
-
-@example
-curl http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py | sudo python
-@end example
-
-Install Distribute for zope.interface <= 3.8.0 (4.0 and 4.0.1 will not
-work):
-
-@example
-export PYPI=@value{PYPI-URL}
-wget $PYPI/z/zope.interface/zope.interface-3.8.0.tar.gz
-tar xzvf zope.interface-3.8.0.tar.gz
-cd zope.interface-3.8.0
-sudo python setup.py install
-@end example
-
-Install the buildslave software (0.8.6 was the latest version):
-
-@example
-export GCODE="http://buildbot.googlecode.com/files";
-wget $GCODE/buildbot-slave-0.8.6p1.tar.gz
-tar xvfz buildbot-slave-0.8.6p1.tar.gz
-cd buildslave-0.8.6p1
-sudo python setup.py install
-@end example
-
-The setup will download the matching twisted package and install it.
-It will also try to install the latest version of zope.interface which
-will fail to install. Buildslave will work anyway since version 3.8.0
-was installed before!

-@node Setup a new PlanetLab testbed using GPLMT
-@subsubsection Setup a new PlanetLab testbed using GPLMT
-
-@itemize @bullet
-@item Get a new slice and assign nodes
-Ask your PlanetLab PI to give you a new slice and assign the nodes you
-need
-@item Install a buildmaster
-You can stick to the buildbot documentation:@
-@uref{http://buildbot.net/buildbot/docs/current/manual/installation.html}
-@item Install the buildslave software on all nodes
-To install the buildslave on all nodes assigned to your slice you can use
-the tasklist @code{install_buildslave_fc8.xml} provided with GPLMT:
-
-@example
-./gplmt.py -c contrib/tumple_gnunet.conf -t \
-contrib/tasklists/install_buildslave_fc8.xml -a -p <planetlab password>
-@end example
-
-@item Create the buildmaster configuration and the slave setup commands
-
-The master and the and the slaves have need to have credentials and the
-master has to have all nodes configured. This can be done with the
-@file{create_buildbot_configuration.py} script in the @file{scripts}
-directory.
-
-This scripts takes a list of nodes retrieved directly from PlanetLab or
-read from a file and a configuration template and creates:
-
-@itemize @bullet
-@item a tasklist which can be executed with gplmt to setup the slaves
-@item a master.cfg file containing a PlanetLab nodes
-@end itemize
-
-A configuration template is included in the <contrib>, most important is
-that the script replaces the following tags in the template:
-
-%GPLMT_BUILDER_DEFINITION :@ GPLMT_BUILDER_SUMMARY@ GPLMT_SLAVES@
-%GPLMT_SCHEDULER_BUILDERS
-
-Create configuration for all nodes assigned to a slice:
-
-@example
-./create_buildbot_configuration.py -u <planetlab username> \
--p <planetlab password> -s <slice> -m <buildmaster+port> \
--t <template>
-@end example
-
-Create configuration for some nodes in a file:
-
-@example
-./create_buildbot_configuration.p -f <node_file> \
--m <buildmaster+port> -t <template>
-@end example
-
-@item Copy the @file{master.cfg} to the buildmaster and start it
-Use @code{buildbot start <basedir>} to start the server
-@item Setup the buildslaves
-@end itemize

-@node Why do i get an ssh error when using the regex profiler?
-@subsubsection Why do i get an ssh error when using the regex profiler?
-
-Why do i get an ssh error "Permission denied (publickey,password)." when
-using the regex profiler although passwordless ssh to localhost works
-using publickey and ssh-agent?
-
-You have to generate a public/private-key pair with no password:@
-@code{ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -f ~/.ssh/id_localhost}@
-and then add the following to your ~/.ssh/config file:
-
-@code{Host 127.0.0.1@ IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_localhost}
-
-now make sure your hostsfile looks like
-
-@example
-[USERNAME]@@127.0.0.1:22@
-[USERNAME]@@127.0.0.1:22
-@end example
-
-You can test your setup by running @code{ssh 127.0.0.1} in a
-terminal and then in the opened session run it again.
-If you were not asked for a password on either login,
-then you should be good to go.
