Debian Buildd Setup

This page describes setting up a new buildd. This can either be as part of the official Debian buildd network, with the machine run by DSA, or as part of the debian-ports 'unoffical' buildd network for new/old/not-released ports, where the admin is not by DSA.

Mostly because DSA has particular admin requirements some of the setup is different. See the relevant section.
