Hello,

possible usability improvement #2 for the web UI:


Currently, it's hard to get a quick overview which of your packages 
failed building. You have to search the failures like easter eggs :-/

Real-world example: try to find out which of the KDE3 packages in [1] 
caused the expansion error...


    Current situation / problem:

The project page [1] shows the number of suceeded and failed packages 
per build repository. If you want to know _which package_ failed 
building (which is the most important information here), you have to 
click each package separately [2] and check the status.

This is really annoying when you have lots of packages in your project.


    Possible enhancement / solution:

I can imagine several solutions:

a) add a "[show build results]" link to the Action column of the Build 
   Repositories table - the target page should show the results per 
   package in the selected repository (OK / failed / expansion error)

b) in the "packages" list, add some icon (like a red "X") on failed 
   packages to indicate which package failed building on one or more 
   repositories

c) implement both a) and b) because both variants would be useful:
   a) displays the result _per repository_ ("what fails on SUSE 10.1?")
   b) displays the result _per package_ ("why does this package fail?")


Opinions?


Regards,

Christian Boltz

    (as always: the last one in the list failed. Murphy says it's the 
    other way round if you start at the bottom ;-)

but that is not true. It went from Space Shuttle to Ferrari...
slower...but still extremely fast. [Azerion in opensuse-factory]
