<p>This chapter is the official repository for the collected wisdom of the
Buildbot hackers.</p>
<p>It contains some sparse documentation of the inner workings of Buildbot, but of
course, the final reference for that is the source itself.</p>
<p>More importantly, this chapter represents the official repository of all
agreed-on patterns for use in Buildbot. In this case, the source is a
<em>terrible</em> reference, because much of it is old and crusty. But we are
trying to do things the new, better way, and those new, better ways are
described here.</p>
