Hi Everyone,

I agree with Jason on both accounts. The cron jobs are basically useless at this point and I don't you can separate code discussions (mostly gerrit) from general development discussions in this type of project. There is usually a very large overlap, so separating the two doesn't really help anyone.

I personally tend to do really aggressive email filtering where lists end up in their own folder unless I'm on the to/CC list. This works really well in practice since gerrit adds reviewers to the CC list. Similarly, many people tend to CC recipients that need to be aware of an email even if they are on the list the email is targeting.

Cheers,
Andreas

Hi Ciro, Gabe,

Interesting proposal. I also have a number of filters set up. Strangely, I
had to set up filters so that the gerrit emails wouldn't go to spam. You'd
think that Gmail would know that emails from googlesource aren't spam...

I agree with Gabe about turning off the cron emails. Are there any
objections to this? IMO, they're worthless at this point.

I'd like to keep the gerrit email on the main development list, though. I
know it's been heavy lately (blame Gabe ;)), but there's often
conversations on gerrit that everyone on the dev list would like to see.
I'm also worried that if we create a new list for the gerrit emails no one
will ever see new changesets posted to gerrit. What are others' opinions on
this?

Cheers,
Jason

It seems reasonable to send CL related emails to a gem5-review (or similar)
list. Since the cron messages are basically worthless at this point (the
tests fail, nobody is likely to fix them, probably nobody reads them) we
should just turn them off until we have tests in place that produce useful
results to report. Or minimally switch it over to run, say, the unit tests
nightly? If we don't turn it off for some reason, I think making a separate
list for that would also make sense.

I want to watch only discussions and bug reports, without a ton of Cron
messages and patches in the middle.

I've created a filter now, but it is annoying for new users who likely to
want the same thing.

Also annoying to browse the archives later.

I would rather either:

- create a separate list for hand written -dev messages
- put all hand written messages in gem5-user and leave -dev only for the
automatic ones
