Re: failed arch build of package version mails

That's really appreciated, but - there is a but - for packages that fail on all architectures, it means a dozen of emails.

For example, if after a few hours, all architectures that have tried to build the package failed, send a mail that says it failed everywhere. I'm sure that if you give us a patch for that, we'll be happy to use it. I suggest you file a bug against buildd.debian.org. It would also be nice to distinguish between failures at the package installation time, and failures that happen inside dpkg-buildpackage. In the former case, some action is required, but often not by the package maintainer. Are you getting mails about the package installation time? That shouldn't happen as far as I know. From which arch/buildd are you seeing that? We do atleast see the difference between those, and they do get reacted on differently by the current buildd/sbuild package that we use.

I think the packages for experimental also run with a different config file, and that it might require some more work to get it working properly.

2010/1/28 Josselin Mouette j...@debian.org: Would it be possible to batch the emails somehow? For example, if after a few hours, all architectures that have tried to build the package failed, send a mail that says it failed everywhere. Sounds like a good idea. I'd speculate that it might be hard to implement, unless the notification mails were delayed until all arches have tried the package (or are in BD-Uninstallable state). Probably the debian-wb-team list is the appropriate place to request this. It would also be nice to distinguish between failures at the package installation time, and failures that happen inside dpkg-buildpackage. In the former case, some action is required, but often not by the package maintainer. Wouldn't the new BD-Uninstallable state catch these failures, or are we talking about bugs in the maintainer scripts of the Build-Depends tree? For the former, I imagine no mails are sent. For the latter, the package maintainer could file RC bugs to get the problem fixed or NMU if there already is one. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
