[2014-11-11 22:34]: 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) (as defined in the metadata, same info as osc maintainer gives) in the hope that the maintainers will realize this.
The notification is sent out after the package failed for 7 days. If there is already a submit request pending to Factory (which hopefully fixes the issue), the notification is suppressed (the staging process can sometimes take longer, and I think it would be annoying to be reminded in this case).
The message looks like the one below.
Feel free to let me know your thoughts about this; if you think it's useful or not. The aim, of course, is to get Tumbleweed in the best possible shape for our users.
I think it's useful but could you add some additional headers so that it's possible to distinguish these notifications from personal mails and to filter them more easily? In particular - Precedence: bulk - X-Mailer: something unique Thanks,
Hi Guido,
Thanks for the hint. I'll add this in the next run.
I hope this won't result though in people just filtering it out to /dev/null: then I can as well ust skip the mails :)
Actually in all seriousness, I think it's to the contrary, if I wouldn't filter the tons of bulk mail I get from lists, notification systems etc. into seperate mailboxes I'd simply overlook the more important stuff. Above headers allow easy filtering into the same mailbox where notifications from OBS, Hermes, and Coolo's reminder mails go which ensures I notice them. And the mails are only useful for those who are not aware of build failures, those who didn't care before probably won't care even after you send them mail. -- Guido Berhoerster -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
