Description
Our build system maintains an XML log file that describes attributes (description, date, time, filename, author, etc) of our binary builds/releases (pre-releases and official releases).
It would be very handy to integrate that information into the Timeline to get a clearer picture of what/how/when any binaries were built in relation to changesets and tickets.
I imagine it could be implemented as a new SQL table that is queried by the Timeline module.
Logging a new event to this SQL table could be done via XMLRPC or some other RPC.

This is a very site-specific issue, although it highlights the usefulness of (at least a minimal) XMLRPC API for Trac.

Not going to happen, at least not that way. TracPluggableModules would allow you to inject arbritrary events into the timeline.



SQLite has several bindings available including Java JDBC drivers. I use ANT to build my projects. It would be pretty cool to use one of the JDBC drivers with ANT to insert new records into an external events table that was queried when the timeline is refreshed.
