+1 for dropping the test: if we aren't going to try to fix it to pass, then scrap it. Note that I actually feel the same way about *all* the every-day failures: the value of the every-day mail drops sharply when there are any "expected" failures.
For me personally the value has dropped so far that I am mostly ignoring those emails.
I used to ignore them, now I pay attention.
They are hard to parse to begin with and there are just too many buildbot entries.
What do you think about the overview table at http://docs.zope.org/zopetoolkit/process/buildbots.html#the-nightly-builds ?
I wonder if it would make sense to send separate emails per software package (such as ZTK, Zope2, etc) so that people can pick and choose.
-1 for separate emails. One per day is plenty enough.
+1 for better organization within the email.
Currently the build results are grouped by status, and then ordered by time. I'd prefer if they were grouped by status, and then grouped by OS (or by project; don't care much) inside the larger per-status groups.
I think that ordering by name, only showing the "bad" status is a better idea for the *summary*. Having a stable sorting makes it easier to look for "your" entry. Dropping the OKs will make noise go away. I also suggest a single URL in the mail to go to a more detailed page in case you care for something specific to avoid the noise of visible text urls sprinkled all over the place.
