-1 to forcing the use of refs/for/x

The validation results are unreliable as the aggregation build is not safely 
reproducible. A failed validation result is just as likely to be due to someone 
changing their already-contributed repository.

Thanks,

Right, by enforcing Gerrit, I was meaning "enforcing review".

But I myself would not like to see it *required* to go through 
"refs/for/master".
Why so? Have you tried using it?


I think most already do go through "refs/for/master" and the few times they do 
not
It's about half-half: 
http://git.eclipse.org/c/simrel/org.eclipse.simrel.build.git/log/ . All changes 
that don't have a "refs/changes/..." tag where pushed directly to master, 
without review and preliminary validation.


I would assume they have a good reason for it. 
I would assume it's more that they need to be educated/encouraged/forced to use 
Gerrit.


Can you point out (or monitor for) cases where people go directly to 
"refs/heads/master" and it causes problems? 
First, there are all failing builds that pre-dates Gerrit usage ;)
I have troubles to identify where to get a history of the SimRel builds and to 
associate it with the actual commits that were involved. The CI jobs on 
http://hudson.eclipse.org/simrel do not show easy to consume data. Is there 
somewhere else I can look at to first get a list of recent-ish failure of 
simrel for Neon?
