[Buildbot-devel] Help with Buildbot MessagePub Status Plugin

[Marc-Antoine Ruel]

Maybe you could be interested in http://codereview.chromium.org/809001 which
is somewhat a generalization of your code. You should look at the
corresponding unit test to see how to write fake http receiver.

<http://codereview.chromium.org/809001/diff/1/3?context=&column_width=80>I'm
still modifying it significantly. I'll try to upstream this this week to
buildbot but I want to make sure this works correctly first. In any case,
your code is simple enough you can keep it as-is too.

MessagePub seems cool but too bad it's interesting feature (SMS) is US-only.
- If you want the RSS/Atom functionality, a
pubsubhubbub<http://code.google.com/p/pubsubhubbub/> hub
could do the deal and lower the load on your buildbot master. The RSS feed *
could* be based off StatusPush but may not be too.
- If you want a gtalk/email notifier, maybe Google AppEngine could do the
deal, its free limit should be well under what most people need; 2000
emails/day and ~650k gtalk message per day.
http://code.google.com/intl/fr/appengine/docs/quotas.html
- Keep in mind buildbot can already send emails with MailNotifier so even
using GAE for emails is moot.
- XMPP and twitter support shouldn't be very hard to write directly into
buildbot but fun to unit test.

Sorry I now see it looks like an advertisement but it's not meant to. You
could probably achieve the same functionality than GAE with raw django with
a self-hosted server, I just never went down that path.

Just sayin'.
