[Buildbot-devel] custom waterfall output for steps?

[John O'Duinn]

hi Wade;

Yes, Alexander is correct, there is support in 0.7.4 for adding URLs as 
part of a buildstep displayed on the waterfall page. It was added to 
explicitly handle cases where your build step output is posted to a 
website.... For example, HTML report of codecoverage results, URL to 
download newly-created installable product zip, etc...

I dont think you can do the <img> tag to display the graph in the waterfall 
page, but I'd not tried that, so not sure on that. However, you can 
definitely have your buildstep create the data+graph someplace else, and 
have the waterfall page link point to that graph. See doc for details, and 
if there's any questions, let us know so we can fix the doc!

Hope that helps.

John.
