I don't think Tinderbox supports multiple CVSup servers at the moment.
It seems like a desirable feature.
Normally they are pointed to a local mirror here at Sentex. However,
that server was having hardware problems which I think we have isolated
and resolved now. I will repoint this tinderbox to the local site again.
The best way to handle this would be to have messages about csup failing
to be directed only to those who are actually able to fix the problem.
Assuming that the cvsup server is always going to work is contrary to
both history and good system administration practices. :)
Perhaps as an interim measure a local procmail rule to filter out cvsup
failures from going to the list ?
That's a particularly unhelpful response. Not only is it borderline rude
to attempt to shift the responsibility for this to the users, it's a
violation of the robustness principle.
Perhaps more importantly though, the amount of tinderbox spam we already
receive as a result of developers inadequately testing their work is bad
enough, but the extra spam about csup failures is causing the whole
tinderbox feature to be increasingly useless since more and more people
are simply filtering the messages. Such filters, once added, are rather
unlikely to be removed.
