Zooko: please pull my patch 'Replace external-zlib flag with zlib' in the build master. (it would be good if we had a way to automate this)

Done.  I agree.  I'll work on automating this.

This was "working" all the way up to build 345
http://buildbot.darcs.net/builders/zooko%20allmydata%20virtual2% 20Windows-XP%20i386/builds/345/steps/compile/logs/stdio
with no (presumably) changes in Zooko's setup.
Then it broke in build 346. I've just worked out these build numbers recently.

Having a buildbot is extremely useful for "localizing" breakage to a specific change ("temporalizing"?). I think this might be why it is considered so important to have an all-green buildbot -- because then if something breaks everyone knows that it was "this change right here" that caused the breakage.

But if you don't have an all-green buildbot and so you don't necessarily notice right away, you can search backwards through the build histories to figure it out, like you just did.

Regards,

Zooko
