# Which brings me to my question: is there some way of getting

# alias my cvs commit to something that automatically monitors
# the tinderbox for the next hour and a half so it screams at
# me when I increase the current breakage level. But parsing
# the HTML looks like it would be difficult and fragile.
# Perhaps tinderbox already has something that I just don't
# know about? A simple event listing, in text or XML or
# whatever, would be perfect.
There are a couple ways to do it.
The first is available with either the showbuilds.cgi or bdshowbuild.cgi
scripts (both do the same thing, but bdshowbuild shows them more
prettily): just add quickparse=1 to the end of the URL. This'll give
you something like:
State|parrot|parrot|open
Build|parrot|DavidLloyd Solaris8 32-Bit|success
Build|parrot|DavidLloyd Solaris8 32-Bit (64-Bit Ints)|success
Build|parrot|DavidLloyd Solaris8 64-Bit|success
...
Build|parrot|brentdax-win2k-cygwin gcc-2.95.3-5|busted
Build|parrot|galactic (Debian x86), gcc 2.94.4|success
Build|parrot|galactic-tcc (Debian x86, tcc 4.0
(TenDRA-4.1.2))|busted
Also, the bdshowbuild.cgi script allows you to look at its data
structure--just add dump=1 to its URL and you can get an evalable
string. You'll have to explore the data structure yourself, however, to
understand how to use it.
Quickparse:
