This fix really made a huge difference to IT’s late night pager support of Talos problems… and by extension, makes life much better for all developers using Talos. In my opinion, this is as important as the fix for the 2-3 per day intermittent Talos burnage…which was solved late May.

Fri, 08 Aug 2008 07:57:24 +0000 http://oduinn.com/2008/05/28/detangling-timestamps-part1/#comment-8740 [...] the Tinderbox, Builds, Unittest, Talos and GraphServer systems all needed ways to uniquely identify builds, so each system invented their own (different!) way of doing this… all because the old BuildID was not good enough. Matching up these different systems - how to post a talos result on tinderbox for example - is quite a headache. We’ve already done some cleanup (here and here), but this new BuildID should let us simplify *much* more of that cross-system integration.
