Hi all, maybe this already happened to some of you. Recently I updated my package in my home project, tested it and then updated my package in Contrib accordingly. But I forgot to add file or remove debug package and the result was not building package in Contrib. But I didn't noticed it for while, cause I expected that it would build without any problem. Well, this was my fault. Other thing that can happen is that some library I depend on in Factory will get updated and my package can't be compiled anymore. In this case I have no other option then periodically check Contrib if my packages are building correctly. Maybe I overlooked something and it is possible to get some notice, but I didn't found any way how. Ok, now what I am proposing. I wrote a simple shell script which checks for broken packages in Contrib and gets their maintainers. This is the current output:
Following packages needs attention of their maintainers because they either can't be build or depends on non-existing packages

I can add this script to cron, let it be run automatically and send e-mail with failing packages to the Contrib mailing list and maintainers so they will know that they should check their packages. We can discuss details later (how often it should send e-mail, blacklist/whitelist of maintainers who wants/don't want to receive mails, whether send e-mail every time, or only if anything changed, ...). What I want to know now is whether you like this idea or if I should just use it for myself only. -- Michal Hrusecky Package Maintainer SUSE LINUX, s.r.o e-mail: mhrusecky@suse.cz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-contrib+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-contrib+help@opensuse.org
