[Buildbot-devel] Desktop Notifications

[Kay Hayen]

Hello there,

for my private Buildbot instances, I would like to configure desktop
notifications to be sent to remote systems in case of failed builds. The
web status is nice, but doesn't raise alerts, which is what I want though.

Has anybody ever done something like that?

It would seem that something like buildbot.status.mail.MailNotifier might
be good starting point for how to do this. Maybe using XMPP protocol, and
using the clients ability to put desktop notifications (and history) might
be more on target too. I found "bb_applet.py", but I cannot get
"gnomeapplet" it wants to import, so I suspect it's heavily outdated, it
was last really updated years ago.

So let me know. In my use case, I run the private Buildbot while I develop,
to tell me immediately about regressions. Polling it with web status
normally happens when it doesn't fail, and doesn't happen when it fails.
Human driven polling... :)

Yours,
Kay
