Hi Leon,

Actually, we even have a script to help automate setting up Buildbot:

http://git.pokylinux.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky-autobuilder/tree/scripts/poky-setup-autobuilder

It's been slightly sanitized and may require some minor tweaks. Also, 
we're planning on upgrading our Buildbot setup to 0.8.2 this month so 
there will be further updates coming soon. I will likely break this 
script up into master and slave setups, since Buildbot as of 0.8.1 
allows slave-only installations, which I imagine will be quite handy for 
OE testing volunteers.

In general, the poky-autobuilder repository has build and support 
scripts we're using (again, sometimes sanitized and in need of minor 
tweaks before you can run them yourself).
