It's not installed by default, but if you're running ubuntu, it's easy to install. More generally: I think there are a couple uses of the build bots: 1) Most people just want to know "can I commit" and then are watching one specific CL's status. In this case, not auto-refreshing is fine and not much history is fine. 2) Sheriffing is the one case where I think you actually do need auto-refreshing, but normally you don't need a lot of history. That said, sometimes things fail and then.... 3) You're trying to fix things: In this case you want to see a lot of history (or at least need the option to see more) and you do NOT want it to auto refresh. I've definitely had times when I wish there was a "show me more" button. And I've definitely have been reading something far down the page only to have it refresh on me. It seems to me that these requirements are diverse enough that one single configuration isn't going to make everyone happy. I know you can do a bunch of customization so you can see exactly what you want, but I assume that will only chew up more resources. Maybe the right way to go is a couple customized pages for each roll? There's definitely much more information there than people need most of the time, though. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Chromium Developers mailing list: [email protected] View archives, change email options, or unsubscribe: http://groups.google.com/group/chromium-dev -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
