| Okay, here's my thinking... in build.pl there's a pretty_print_log
| method that is essentially two regular expressions, one that calls
| make_test_html and one that calls make_action_html.
|
| Currently, build_test.fns generates exactly the same "markings" for
| log.smbd output and stdout. As such, the regex for make_test_html
| catches them both. If we were to change the markings for one of them, we
| could then have a separate functions: make_test_log_html and
| make_test_stdout_html or something like that.
|
| All we would have to do to "co-ordinate" the two would be to save a copy
| of the current $id before running the make_test_stdout_html and reset it
| afterwards, such that the two "sections" start at the same id. Of
| course, we'd have to make sure where was no id collision between the
| sections (easily done by using stdout-$id and logsmbd-$id anywhere we
| used the id within make_test_{stdout,log}_html.
|
| Metze: this is where you're expertise comes in: there's one thing that
| I'd love to have figured out. The main reason I wanted to move the farm
| to subversion was that it has revision numbers. Is there a way I can
| determine which revision of the build_farm was used to run the build?
|
| I took a quick look at the way it's done in the main samba tree, and it
| seems to rely on the fact that svn / svk is installed on the build host,
| which I don't think we can assume for the farm. (though, oddly, it seems
| that EVERY host has it, since they all report a version number for
| samba4 tree).
it's is done in the ./autogen.sh
so this is done on samba.org in the unpacked area, so none of the build hosts need svn.

|
| If nothing else, I guess I could add something to the cron job that
| updates the build_farm script which adds a VERSION file, but I'm hoping
| that you can tell me a cleaner, nicer way to go about it?

I think the cron job which runs svn up in ~/build/master should create this VERSION file

|
| Cheers, Vance
|
| PS: now that I've thought about it, adding a link between the sections
| should be DEAD easy... I'll even try to think about doing that tomorrow.
