Our current buildbot status pages are not quite as readable as they could be.
With the recent changes of spreading out tasks over different bots it has sometimes become quite a challenge to see what is going on.
As a client of the buildbots I am mainly interested in 2 things:
1. What was the command that failed?
2. What was the build configuration? (aka. $GYP_DEFINES)
Looking at a status page, I see lots of information that is mostly irrelevant to me as a v8 developer[1].
As a first stage I suggest just making sure we see the GYP_DEFINES flags somewhere on the status page.
As an ultimate solution I wish we had the kind of output formatting travis[2] performs ;).
