[Buildbot-devel] integrating buildbot with trac?

[Wade Brainerd]

Hi all, I've been thinking about the possibilities for integrating 
buildbot into Trac (http://trac.edgewall.com/). 

Here are some thoughts:

 - Buildbot page in the Navigation bar, shows the waterfall inside the 
Trac UI.
 - Wiki handlers for buildbot.  "The current full build status is 
[buildbot: buildbot-full.status].  A link to the last build is 
[buildbot: buildbot-full.lastbuild here]"
 - Integration of changelist.  Trac has a great changelist display with 
syntax highlighted diffs, etc., so it would be nice if the change link 
in the waterfall went to the Trac page, or else had a link there.

Both are written in Python, but I actually doubt that helps since Trac 
runs under mod_python and buildbot uses Twisted.  I think the Trac page 
handler would have to request the page from buildbot itself, and then 
inline that into the resulting webpage.  Or perhaps there could be some 
use of frames to allow the page to source two different webservers?

There is a BuildbotPlugin in trac-hacks already btw, but it's just a 
stub from what I can tell.
