I've been thinking a little bit about our alert messages, and
1) I think that each system that's submitting should have an
assigned ID, so it's easy to figure out who is what. It can be as
easy as self-assignment on the wiki registration page. Just take
the next integer. I put these up on the system list on the wiki.
2) I'd like to have a "sequence number" for each message, and then
a reference sequence number for "BUILD FIXED" messages, to make it
easier to figure out which break was fixed (for CC systems that are
running multiple things). This may be a pita, though, as it's
stateful. But it's already stateful, I guess.
3) How about basic machine-readable formatting? Maybe something
like the message body be a combination of a meta data header and
then the current blob of stuff we currently have.
So :
<info>
<systemid>1</systemid>
<status>FIXED</status>
<sequence>102031</sequence>
<reference>102030</sequence>
actually, we should put everything in there - platform, OS, tool
info, etc....
</info>
