As apparently some maintainers are not aware of their packages failing in openSUSE:Factory (openSUSE Tumbleweed), I implemented a quick script today that finds all the current failures and sends a notification to the maintainer(s)
But was there not already some mechanism in OBS that would do this on its own? Why the sudden need for an external script?
Yes, OBS does have notifications for package failures; but as they are 'for each failure' people tend to disable them (as they can be many and intermittent). The parser I wrote only takes into account packages failing for longer periods, taking 'random' occurrences away. The need is simple: there are packages failing for a long time (current top ranked: 77 days, but submitted, 2nd 66 days, even failing in the devel prj); if they stay like this, I will simply file delete requests; which in turn will have people complain that it's gone and we all know how those discussions end. So the idea is to: - After 1 week: Send a mail to the maintainers - After 1 more week: Send a reminder to the maintainers - After 1 more week: Send a mail to -factory asking for people to actively step up if they care for the package - After 1 more week: file a delete request Of course there CAN be valid reasons why something is failing, and this would be taken into account.
