[Scummvm-devel] builbot web design

hi list,

for the git switch, we had to upgrade to buildbot version 0.8. that in
return comes with support for the jinja2 template engine, used to
dynamically generate the served web pages.
utilizing this, we can unify the look of all buildbot pages to a
common scummvm style.

is anyone interested in working on that? anyone? bueller?

see:
http://buildbot.net/buildbot/docs/0.8.3/Jinja-Web-Templates.html#Jinja-Web-Templates
http://jinja.pocoo.org/docs/

buildbot itself comes with these templates (which we can override):
https://github.com/buildbot/buildbot/tree/v0.8.3p1/master/buildbot/status/web/templates

i prepared the buildbot structure in svn for this system (checkout
https://scummvm.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/scummvm/buildbot):
/public_html/ should only contain static content
/templates/ will be used by buildbot/jinja

to overwrite a template from buildbot, we just put a file with the
same name in /templates/

tasks:
- migrate SVMDesign.css to default.css, reusable for all buildbot pages
- split the now static root.hml into the apropriate template files

we're using jinja 2.3.1 now.

regards,
andre
