[higgins-dev] General instructions for signing up for emails on nightly

[brian walker <BWalker@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All - as a follow up to an action from a previous Higgins Dev call, below are the general instructions to sign up for build pass/fail emails. I also posted these instructions on the Higgins wiki here: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Higgins_Committers_and_Contributors#Processes

• Modify the the successMailList or failMailList in the projects.xml file in org.eclipse.higgins.auto.resources project located at trunk/builds folder in SVN.
• These fields will contain comma separated email lists. Anyone can add their name to any component and either pass list, fail list or both if they desire. 
• The following is an example:

<buildProject id="org.eclipse.higgins.idas.cp.jena2"> <pathFromWebHome>downloads/idas.cp.jena2</pathFromWebHome> <successMailList>slyakhov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx</successMailList> <failMailList>slyakhov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx,jimse@xxxxxxxxxx</failMailList> <targetToRun>plugin</targetToRun> <targetToRun>jar</targetToRun> <targetToRun>javadoc</targetToRun> </buildProject>"

• Adding your name to the successMailList will then include you on daily emails if all component targets passed the daily build.
• Adding your name to the failMailList will then include you on daily emails if all component targets failed the daily build.
• Adding your name to both lists will include you in daily status emails whether the component passes or fails.

Thanks to Peter K. for outlining these steps.

regards...Brian
