[Scummvm-devel] HELP NEEDED: Upgrading buildbot to 0.8.0

[Max Horn]

Hi there,

is somebody (maybe Andre or John or ... ) willing to look into upgrading our buildbot to 0.8.0 ? The upgrade instructions seem easy enough and I would *hope* that an upgrade is a fairly straightforward thing to do (see <http://djmitche.github.com/buildbot/docs/0.8.0/Upgrading-a-Buildmaster-to-Buildbot_002d0_002e8_002e0.html#Upgrading-a-Buildmaster-to-Buildbot_002d0_002e8_002e0>).

Among the cool new feature I really would like to see on our buildbot are:

* Jinja templating engine is used -> makes a ScummVM skin easily possible (I am pretty sure we'll find volunteers on the Forums to work on this)
* Authorization Framework: The web-based status displays now provide fine-grained control over who can
do what - force builds, stop builds, cancel builds, etc
* Many other improvements and fixes


I'd also like to advertise the 'console' view that was added in Buildbot 0.7.12 -- and to which I just added a  link on our buildbot front page: <http://buildbot.scummvm.org/buildbot/console?category=trunk;category=branch>. I also updated our buildbot CSS to match the Buildbot 0.7.12 extended.css, I hope you don't mind the new look.


Cheers,
Max
