Re: [gef-dev] Re: [Galileo] Failed for build 2009-09-17_10-31-42

How about using procmail to search the contents of the email for references to network timeouts, and if found, cc: the webmasters?

That way we could at least ignore them knowing they were being forwarded on to the people who could actually affect a change.

So this is the usual "network sucks, try again" error that p2 can't seem to overcome (even though it's sourcing files on download.eclipse from build.eclipse, which is the same nfs drives and same internal network) ?

Can the buckybuilder trap for these and just try again instead of reporting them as build problems?

I would argue that in this case, they are indeed build problems and in some respect, some are actually your problems :-)

Rationale:
You provide a contribution. For some reason, the site denoted in contribution cannot be reached. So buckybuilder sends you a mail to inform you about the problem. So far, so good.

You will probably argue that in this case, everything is at eclipse.org and if there are network problems, then that's actually not something that you can fix. True as it might be, buckybuilder still holds you responsible for your contribution. Keep in mind that it is designed as a general purpose application that can be used by anyone at any place.

The Buckybuilder could of course be extended so that it would have special entries for domains or similar. That, together with special groups of exceptions, could be used to define rules like "Networks problems at this domain should trigger emails to this contact". But that's not a trivial change I'm afraid.
