Comment (by philippem):

 thanks for the quick replies and support, it's much appreciated.
 buildbot has been great for me, and it's a wonderful system. It's well
 engineered and its features obviously come from experience and concrete
 motivations.

 One of the challenges I've had with it, and not being a python wizard
 makes it tough, is doing things slightly outside the provided classes. It
 then becomes necessary to create derived build steps, and (this may be
 true of any OO framework), it takes a lot of time to figure out what the
 assumptions are and what is happening when, because there are factories,
 logging, process control, events on remote machines, etc. This is usually
 done by grepping through the buildbot source.

 For example, I have a Test step that generates an html summary on the
 slave when it completes. I want this html summary to appear as an (html)
 log file in the waterfall, and I want to supress a text version of this
 log file. I've experimented with various approaches (including attempting
 a remote shell command as in the python_twisted source), but finally using
 addHTMLLog (is there a removeLog?).
 What would be some approaches to solving this? (StatusPlugin?)

 thanks!
