Hi Dan,
Thanks!
I think there are two separate issues, the first and more important of
which you have now hopefully fixed.
I would still like to see NotNeeded treated similarly as OK because it
too adds noise by generating extra reports when the set of build
machines changes and making the reports slightly more difficult to
parse. (I assume you are not generating new "no build problems" when the
set of build machines changes.) Plus it would look neater if the report
said no problems as "NotNeeded" is not really a problem a maintainer
could/should do anything about. :)

Indeed, you are right, Leo. I was able to identify the thing that had
changed and to restore it to its previous behavior. It should now
behave as before, only updating the rss feed when the build status has
changed.
Thanks,
Dan

Subject: Re: [Bioc-devel] NotNeeded in build report RSS feeds
Hi,
I don't think this has anything to do with "NotNeeded". The RSS feed
did indeed change around the time BioC 3.3 was released and I have
also been getting daily RSS updates, even if they are "No build
problems for package XYZ" (with the same status the day before).
My guess is that the RSS feed was changed to add daily updates before
3.3's release just to make sure all issues were solved before the
release. And now that things are a bit more static it'd be nice to
have the RSS feed to return to "on change".
Best,
Leo

Hi Dan,
I follow the RSS feed on Feedly and for some time now it has shown
two
updates every day: "NotNeeded in Release" and "NotNeeded in Devel".
Up to
approximately 2 months ago I only saw updates when the status
changed, but
since then there have been these two daily non-updates which add a
lot of
noise.
It seems that the whole NotNeeded thing was introduced in RSS
reports
sometime last autumn and as far as I can tell it has generated a lot
of
noise e.g. when the build machine names changes etc. but no useful
information.
As the NotNeeded state does not seem something a package maintainer
needs to
care about, perhaps you could ignore it when generating the RSS and
revert
to the "No build problems for X" report?
Thanks!

Hi Antti,
I'm not sure I follow. NotNeeded is a status seen in the INSTALL
phase of
the build, and it means your package did not need to be installed
because no
other package built by the build system depends on it.
This status should not change from one day to the next. (It would
change
if someone were to depend on your package.)
But the basic behavior of the RSS feeds is supposed to be to only
notify
you when there is a change in build status. So you should not get
new feeds
when the build status stays the same.

Would it be possible to change the build report RSS feed
generation to
treat "NotNeeded" similarly as "OK"?
This would make the feed more useful for spotting real problems.
Thanks!
