Introduction 
Reporting and Data Mining Build Bugs
Build bugs are failures that occur during the build of a product. These can be anything from a missing semi-colon at the end of a line of c-code to a missing include file. Most often, the information needed is what file broke the build and who made the change in the file that broke the build.
If the offending file is known, use bk revtool to find all the changes made to the file between the last build and the present build. Revtool shows the differences between any two versions of the file by left clicking on the last known good version of the file and right clicking on the buggy version of the file. Scanning the differences may make clear the line that broke the build. The differences are annotated with the user who last changed the line so if the line that introduced the bug is found, so is the author.
