[Bioc-devel] Automatic build failure notifications

Hi Herve, Markus, all,



It would really be great if these automatic notifications would be on again -

and if this would happen for devel and release. After my last email Dan T.

suggested I sign up for the RSS feed - I followed the instructions but even

there I seem only to get an old feed of the release build report - which for us is

a different error [one that is relates to Java ... and has been going on for ages]



Manually checking the builds every days is a pain when we know we are

waiting for a fix - if there would be a way to automate devel build reports

(maybe an opt in so those that don't want the traffic don't go crazy), that

would be great. I'm sure there'd be quite a few of us that would really

appreciate that! We'd have found our error much quicker that way...



I would vote for daily in the run up to the release, if doable. A number of

us seem to still have some need for this ;)



Thanks,

Emma

We would also

appreciate it to have the e-mail system for failed builds / checks back

online :-)

Just to clarify, in the past we've only activated the automatic build

failure notifications for the release version of Bioconductor (except

for the current release i.e. BioC 3.3, for which we forgot).

Our plan was to activate them for BioC 3.4 after it's released.

But we could do it now if nobody objects. We usually run the script

once a week as a cron job but we could change this to run it 2 or

3 times/week until the release (which is in 8 days from now), and

then go back to once a week after the release.

Cheers,

H.
