We have summarize_build_stats, and build_time_stats which pull useful data out of CIDB.

However, they both depend on installing a number of non-standard packages onto the workstation, grabbing special read-only credentials, and having a IP address which is whitelisted to contact CIDB.

It would make these tools a lot easier to use if they ran inside the chroot (hopefully auto-entering), and the chroot required everything for them to run.

Script/package wise, this isn't very hard to solve.

However, removing the CIDB whitelist and adding read only credentials to the checkout would expose all CIDB data to the world.

Is that something we could even consider? Would we consider it if the credentials only existed in an internal checkout?
