[Buildbot-devel] feature request: link to display change diffs

[Stephen Davis]

When you create a Change object, you can pass in a "changelink"  
argument which will get presented on the html status pages.  That  
link can be anything you want but probably requires a touch of  
customization to your ChangeSource.  I don't know if the default ones  
have changelink support.  I have a custom email parser  
(buildbot.changes.MaildirSource) whose final parser lines look like:

        # create single fisheye link based on the revision
         link = "https://svn.mycompany.com/fisheye/changelog/ 
myproject?cs=%s" % revision

         # return buildbot Change object
         return changes.Change( who, files, comments,  
revision=revision, branch=branch, changelink=link )
