[Buildbot-devel] MailNotifier lookup for alien SVN users

[Mark Richardson (Internal)]

Hello fellow buildbot users,
I am using buildbot 0.8.2 and would like to know how to map from the 
user-names of SVN changers to their real world identity.

The users are added by Trac Admin to an HTTP Digest method that is also 
used by SVN for the commits. They can be any of 10 separate institutes 
(and increasing). At the moment I use my own email as the notification
of the build success/failure. "sendToInterestedUsers" is set to false 
for now.

As I have a MySQL db I believe that when the trac admin adds a user
their email is added to mysql and the password is updated in the
htpasswd.auth file.

I wonder how to get the "trac" mysql data across to the buildbot mysql
or into buildbot. I do not feel confident enough with Python to write
my own "lookup" entity. Should I create several email notifiers (one
for each institute?). Perhaps the mysql database should have been
common to buildbot and trac?

Cheers,
Mark
