[users at bb.net] Re-add v0.8's setProgress feature? (was: Parse log output and display computed information)

[Andreas Sommer]

Is there a plan to re-add the progress feature, though? That is, allow build steps to report a progress text which the www component would display. That would be quite helpful especially if progress can be set from a log observer. For instance, one could parse progress of CMake projects (Make: `[ 53%]`, Ninja: `[13/60]`) or other builds that report such information. If there is some interest, would you be interested in a pull request for this feature?

P.S. re original topic: I've opened a pull request to add an "addURL from log observer" example to the documentation (https://github.com/buildbot/buildbot/pull/4349). It was already mentioned there (not sure since when).

Best,
 Andreas

My use case: find the line `[02:22:49] Logs: /pdr/data/logs/bulk/103amd64-2018Q2-bulk-master/2018-06-24_01h12m11s` and construct+display a clickable web link to the detailed build log (which are created in separate files on disk).
