[Buildbot-devel] Buildbot meets Exhibit

[Axel Hecht]

Hi,

I just wanted to let the two lists of you know that I did a little
cross over, and used Exhibit [1] to get hold of my buildbot builds
[2].

The actual exhibit is at http://l10n.mozilla.org/~axel/dashboard/.
It's based on some manual json files, plus one that is generated by a
buildbot status plugin, LatestL10n, the sources of which are at
http://hg.mozilla.org/users/axel_mozilla.com/tooling/?file/34a466d5e261/mozilla/tools/buildbotcustom/buildbotcustom/status/l10n.py

We're using "the pretty thing" (as Mike Schroepfer calls exhibit) a
bit here at Mozilla, and when you have enough data so that you don't
know ad-hoc in which way you want to see it, being able to restrict
and reorder it in the browser is nice.

I do have a exhibit question on this, too. In particular when it comes
down to builds, you get a bunch of builds that have common properties,
i.e., you get a linux build, windows, mac, possibly for one source
stamp. In that sense, I will end up with something like:

"de" will be green if
- mac build succeeds
- linux build succeeds
- win build succeeds
- tests succeed

Oh, and "de" has properties independent of these, like, it's a tier 1 locale.

Am I really missing the content at
http://simile.mit.edu/wiki/Exhibit/Understanding_Exhibit_JSON_Format
or am I just making that up? So far, I managed to aggregate data from
multiple sources with multiple types on a single hierarchy, but failed
to get stuff working deeper.
