I agree completely, Koz ;) The errors mean Rails is broken, on the CI system that Alexey is providing as a service (Thank You!). The only reason that these errors could be irrelevant is if Alexey's CI environment is invalid. If you think that is the case, then either set up your own passing CI build and send it to the list, or investigate why Alexey's is broken. AND, since Alexey's was green up until someone checked in a failing build, I would blame the failing checkin before the Ci system, at least in absence of any other evidence (and I have not seen any on the list - if there was it needed a better subject). Every time I see a failing Rails build message, I want to fix it. Unfortunately, not enough to prioritize fixing the Rails build higher than my own personal tasks, but I definitely don't consider it irrelevant. I consider it more of a statement on the discipline of whoever isn't fixing the build (including myself, as a Rails user), and the Rails development community as a whole. Especially on the people that bitch about it rather than fixing it (did it really take longer to send an email complaining about it than to set up a filter? If so, you should be using gmail). Tests are important. They should always be passing in trunk and the stable release branch. If you can't make it pass, delete it, or disable it with a loud reminder.
