Hi, When a pull request is created or another commit is pushed to that pull request, a build including running our test suite is performed (Jenkins at https://sparktc.ibmcloud.com/jenkins/job/SystemML-PullRequestBuilder/). This is the same model that other projects such as Apache Spark use (Jenkins at https://amplab.cs.berkeley.edu/jenkins/job/SparkPullRequestBuilder/).
A few days ago, automated build passed/failed pull request messages were introduced to our pull requests, following the same type of Spark model. A) SystemML example: https://github.com/apache/incubator-systemml/pull/442 B) Spark example: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/17765 Personally I like these messages because for contributors that do pull requests, it automatically tells them the status of the build for their pull requests and gives them a direct link to the build/test results. An opposing viewpoint would be that these messages are somewhat like spam. So we should make a public decision on the mailing list what to do about these automated build status messages. Some options: (1) keep the automated messages exactly as they are (2) keep the automated messages, but consolidate the two messages into one (such as "Build successful" and "Refer to this link..."). (3) get rid of the automated messages I like (2). Any other opinions or options? Thoughts? Deron -- Deron Eriksson Spark Technology Center http://www.spark.tc/
