1.to show test coverage buildfarm uses lcov
https://build.samba.org/lcov/data/coverage/ccache/ the display not so
appealing can we use any other front end to display the statistics in another
way we can make our own code that does it without effecting build farm.
2.Well in the ideas they have given ajax to improve the page speed how does
ajax help in this situation. Ajax is “the method of exchanging data with a
server, and updating parts of a web page - without reloading the entire
page.”but buildfarm doesnt take any input,it is just hyperlinks. is there any
way to change the information even when there is no input like websites show
live score so whenever the new results are obtained by processing build log
files they are automatically reflected.
3.well i guess the build farm is slow because starting and initialising
application using cgi takes time.We can use fastcgi that uses persistent
process so the overhead of starting new process is avoided.porting it would
be very essy from cgi
4.You were talking about separate daemon that process build logs as soon as
they come and add to database then when a new request comes the already
existing information in the database will be read without any processing.but
even here the overhead of starting will be there.is there any way of doing it
by combining with fastcgi
