I like buildbot emails. Well, except for the ones that complain about svn.zope.org being down. If buildbot complaints bother other people, how about creating a separate list for them?

I thought I switched it off early enough when I remembered about the svn.zope.org downtime, but it looks like I didn't. That's exactly the behaviour I was afraid of. I propose to keep it around for a few more days to see how it stabilizes. If it jerks again, I'll switch off notifications until I get a change done that avoids this behaviour.

Thanks Christian. But then using a little client side mail filtering made it easy enough to dump them into their own folder so it isn't such a big deal. --Tim -- Timothy Cook, MSc Health Informatics Research & Development Services LinkedIn Profile:http://www.linkedin.com/in/timothywaynecook Skype ID == timothy.cook ************************************************************** *You may get my Public GPG key from popular keyservers or * *from this link http://timothywayne.cook.googlepages.com/home* **************************************************************

Most projects use a separate list for such emails. I think that's a good idea. Martin -- Author of `Professional Plone Development`, a book for developers who want to work with Plone. See http://martinaspeli.net/plone-book

or is it possible to group the alerts in a digest instead of sending several messages?

I'm not sure whether this is a good idea. If the mails are annoying anyways then they're not the right tool. Putting them on a different list I fear that they'll be ignored anyways. Otherwise the mails should probably go here to remind people in a reasonable fashion. Aggregation sounds like a reasonable thing.

buildbot's standard MailNotifier doesn't have those capabilities. It's pretty simple. I'm curious how we aggregate the mails from the other buildbot.

Not by everyone, but yes, fewer people will see them.

I'd rather have separate emails. Now it's very convenient to open each email individually and hit the end key to see the actual failure. If multiple failures were aggregated in a single email, I'd have to page through all of it to find the relevant bits interspersed with the boring bits.

I seem to remember Steve Alexander writing a separate Python script to do that. Marius Gedminas -- Westheimer's Discovery: A couple of months in the laboratory can frequently save a couple of hours in the library.
