My goal for this release was to modify BuildBot in a way that didn’t horibly break the system. I believe I have done this and have done some work on my next step: Adding timestamps to build logs. You can see my patches here. My first patch inserts a lot of information into the build logs which isn’t needed for each line. I modified this patch to only put the repeated information in the log once at the start of the log. I have also modified Mozilla’s mozbuild.py to work with my local BuildBot setup in running unit tests, reftests and crash tests. These are the things that I am mainly going to deal with for this project.
My next tasks include figuring out how to deal with the command output interleaving, making this patch become something which could possibly be accepted upstream, writing a parser, designing a database for test results and designing a UI for the information
