Greetings. 

Astute followers of rawhide/branched composes will note that we haven't
had to many of them recently that finished successfully. ;( 

As of this email the last rawhide one was 2016-08-12 (7 days ago) and
the last branched one was 2016-08-16 ( 3 days ago). 

This has various anoying and ill effects: 

* The next branched that actually finishes will be 100% signed, but the
  one thats on mirrors now from the 16th is not.

* The failing composes still always send the broken deps emails, which
  means when we run several composes a day to try and fix things people
  will get a bunch of duplicate emails. There's a proposed fix for
  this, hopefully landing after alpha so only successfull composes will
  send emails. 

* Testing out proposed fixes takes a really long time. ;( 

The causes for this are several. ;( 

* pungi now has the ability to tell when release blocking artifacts are
  not successfully composed and fail the entire compose. This means
  that in the past we would have had a partial mostly compose, now we
  would not get anything. 

* The bug where sometimes, seemingly randomly live composes fail has
  become more common, and when it hits KDE or Workstation the compose
  fails (see above). https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1315541

* There is some issue with the arm composers or rawhide that causes
  them to get stuck in I/O wait and never finish composing images. We
  have been trying to isolate if this is a kernel issue, userspace on
  the builders or rawhide in the chroot. (no bug yet as we aren't sure
  where to file it yet). 

* On branched the cloud images are/were failing to compose with little
  in the way of logs. Since they are release blocking, see first point.

Anyhow, thats where we are... we are working on all these issues and
hopefully we can get things rolling again.
