The link to the GitLab EE issue was illustrative, not definitive. If it solves the problem, a cronjob which polls every module’s `/meson.build` and `/meson_options.txt` files every 30 minutes and uses sendmail to send you an e-mail about changes would work. > From my perspective, I don't think is much to ask to the community of > GNOME maintainers to help us on the release team (and all the people > that build GNOME components) in ensuring their projects actually > build instead of deploying hopes and prayers to users. I don’t think anyone is going to begrudge you their time, it’s just the practicality of having ~30 humans remember to send an e-mail to a list every time they (infrequently and rarely) touch a particular part of their code base. I will endeavour to remember to do so, but I can pretty much guarantee I’ll forget at some point. I apologise in advance. Philip
