[tsuna]

These patches are meant to apply against 0.7.6 with bug #114 fixed. They fix various things in the WebStatus? and enhance it by providing more buttons, password protection, possibility to attach a patch to a `force build' request, etc.

+1 on all of these -- nice work!

Are the authentication patches using anything from Twisted? I believe it supports basic and digest authentication, so Buildbot should probably rely on that.

I'm posting the an updated patch series (the only change is that I rebased it against the current darcs head, which seems to be named "warner@…**20071208202434" - I'm not sure how revisions are named in darcs). For the last 4 patches only, since the first 8 ones already made their way to the official repo.

the authentication patches are getting pushed out to 0.7.8 .. maybe we should make a new ticket for them and close this one.

tsuna - do you want to re-up these patches for the current HEAD?

[tsuna]

Hi there, No, sorry, I can't, I no longer have access to any buildbot so I would not be able to test my changes :( I'm reassigning the ticket to you, feel free to further re-assign if needed.
