#795: Allow switching ETA estimation method in master.cfg
------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
Reporter: toinbis | Owner: toinbis
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: major | Milestone: 0.8.1
Version: 0.8.0 | Keywords: ETA
------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
Current ETA calculation scheme "If there are any metrics, use text-output
based estimation, otherwise, fall back to time-based estimation" is not
transparent at all. Some users might prefer the current "mix", while
others would prefer to stick with time-only estimations, while even others
probably would prefer what is described by Brian in
http://buildbot.net/trac/ticket/540 etc.
Maybe It'd be a good idea to introduce some scheme for letting Buildbot
users to choose which type of estimation method they prefer and Buildbot
Developers to add new ways of calculating/estimating ETA easily.
How could this be done? The first though crossing my mind on how to
implement this scheme is an optional setting in master.cfg, allowing user
to choose default ETA calculation/estimation setting. And probably an
optional step's parameter, allowing to override the default setting.
