That is probably my fault; I was testing something and didn't mean to leave that enabled. Oops -- sorry. :-( That being said -- is it a terrible thing to require a PR to ensure that we get a valid email address (e.g., not a "root@localhost") and that we have a proper signed-off-by line? > /* note if the commit is trivial, then it is possible to add the following > line > [skip ci] > into the commit message, so Jenkins will not check the PR. */ We've had some discussions about this on the Tuesday calls -- the point was made that if you allow skipping CI for "trivial" commits, it starts you down the slippery slope of precisely defining what "trivial" means. Indeed, I know that I have been guilty of making a "trivial" change that ended up breaking something. FWIW, I have stopped using the "[skip ci]" stuff -- even if I made docs-only changes. I.e., just *always* go through CI. That way there's never any question, and never any possibility of a human mistake (e.g., accidentally marking "[skip ci]" on a PR that really should have had CI). -- Jeff Squyres jsquy...@cisco.com _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@lists.open-mpi.org https://lists.open-mpi.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
