Couldn't you just put a text file on the build farm server with

As I told Magnus, that gets ugly because of limitations in MinGW's SDK
perl. I suppose I could just not implement the feature for MinGW, but
I've tried damn hard not to make those sorts of compromises and I'm not
keen to start.
The buildfarm code can upload the build result via HTTP; why can't it
download a file via HTTP?

It has to use a separate script to do that. I don't really want to add
another one just for this.

(thinks a bit) I suppose I can make it do:

     my $url = "http://buildfarm.postgresql.org/branches_of_interest.txt";;
     my $branches_of_interest = `perl -MLWP::Simple -e "getprint(q{$url})"`;

Maybe that's the best option. It's certainly going to be less code than
anything else :-)
Could you pull the list of active branches from our web site HTML?


I can, but I'm not that keen on having to do web scraping. Currently my test machine (crake) is using the above scheme and it's working fine. It's not a huge burden to maintain, after all.

cheers
