Thanks folks! The wiki page was useful and I found the buildbot config
files repo.

Do any of you remember if there was special configuration needed to get
buildbot workers running on macOS back when you had a Mac worker? When I
set up a buildbot worker and fire it up, it fails to connect to my
master (which is running on a remote Linux host, with its ports open),
and the twisted.log file just has messages like this:

I'll take this up with the Buildbot and Twisted Python developers, but I
was wondering if any of you might remember offhand...

Cheers,
