Description Alexandru Georgescu 2013-04-05 08:40:41 UTC
In autobuilder, for any build in Grid display (e.g eclipse-plugin: http://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org:8011/builders/eclipse-plugin)

there are only 5 recent builds displayed. There should be more enough that a user can cover on 1 week's time.

We already have this capability. Add ?numbuilds=<number> to the builder page. However, I've used a patch from the webkit buildbot instance to make this easier on production:

Works but do we need to doc this?
Comment 3 Scott Rifenbark 2014-01-02 20:07:26 UTC
Hi, 

I was looking around in the doc set and we have a section in the dev-manual that overviews the Autobuilder.  The link is http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.6/dev-manual/dev-manual.html#best-practices-autobuilders.  That section has a bulleted list that provides some features of the Autobuilder.  It seems that it would be a good place to drop in an additional bullet item describing how the user can gain access to more build information.  I would just need to know some user steps to list that would show how to do this. 

Beth - can you provide this information?

Thanks, 
Scott
