buildbot new view implementations

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

This is a draft description of ideas for implementing some new views for Buildbot 1.0. Alternatively, even if these don't get implemented in Bulidbot, it would be nice to implement them elsewhere as some standalone views / links.

View nr. 1: List of commits

An equivalent of ​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/commits/master with clickable links to builds from individual commits.

Perhaps with a calendar & clock widget to let the user select the time of when that commit was noticed by buildbot and added to the build queue. Or maybe some timeline graph where the user could simply slide on timeline to get the commits around the selected time slot.

For example:

color or check: failure/success

timestamp

short commit message

committer

author

link to view nr. 2

View nr. 2: Overview of a particular commit or individual forced build

Top of the page: full info about commit:

• committer name & timestamp
• author name & timestamp
• short & full commit message
• URL to commit on github
• potentially URLs to track tickets and PRs (if applicable)

And then the summary:

	10.13	10.12	10.11	10.10	10.9	10.8
port list	OK	OK	OK	OK	OK	OK
port A	OK	OK	FAIL	OK	FAIL	SKIP
port B	FAIL	FAIL	FAIL	SKIP	SKIP	SKIP
port C	SKIP	OK	OK	FAILDEP	FAILDEP	FAILDEP

View nr. 3: Overview of history of builds of a particular port

Top of the page: all relevant info about the port

• name
• current version
• latest version (from livecheck)
• maintainers (potentially with links to github profiles and/or existing trac pages)
• maybe link to ​https://repology.org
• maybe additional info like hyperlinks to dependencies' pages, ... constructed from separate scripts

And then some kind of a table like this one:

		ver	10.13	10.12	10.11	10.10	10.9	10.8
commit A	time	0.9	OK	OK	OK	OK	FAILDEP	SKIP
commit B	time	0.8	OK	OK	OK	OK	FAILDEP	SKIP
force	time	0.8			OK
commit C	time	0.8	OK	OK	FAIL	FAIL	FAILDEP	SKIP
commit D	time	0.7	OK	OK	OK	OK	OK	SKIP

with the ability to go back and forth in time to older and newer commits. The 'commit A' part would be a hyperlink to view nr. 2.

"Faildep" in this or previous view would contain name of dependency and a link to the build page of the failed build where we marked the port as broken.
