There was no known outages to Android Build as a service. So, my understanding is that Zack meant that for that particular day, there were lot of build failures, which is true, I looked at them too, identified something we can improve on Infra side (https://bugs.launchpad.net/linaro-android-infrastructure/+bug/997551), the rest where genuine compile errors. For those errors, https://android-build.linaro.org/ is *the dashboard*. Ah, as it's confession time, some time ago that page was prefixed with content, not really related to the Build System function, which exactly complicates access to build dashboard (requires lot of vertical scrolling). IMHO, that text is misplaced there - it belongs to releases.linaro.org/snapshot.linaro.org, which are gateways for community access, and android-build.linaro.org is first of all internal build system. Having extra stuff there complicates access and maintenance. > * notifications about build system going down could go to the same >places where build failures / successful builds are reported; > perhaps we need a dedicated "build-notifications" list or something > like that -- Best Regards, Paul Linaro.org | Open source software for ARM SoCs Follow Linaro: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Linaro http://twitter.com/#!/linaroorg - http://www.linaro.org/linaro-blog ___ linaro-dev mailing list linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-dev

If you really want a better and more up-to-date place to show this info even IRC would be better. > Is Twitter really that much better to inform us it's broken?

Twitter is the general place used by most of projects for status update, that's why I thought that it'd be the best way to go.

Well, to be honest I don't really see the problem with letting the list know that there are issues, and I interpret Zach's brevity as "we're totally focused on getting the problem solved". I expect he's going to come back and explain what's broken when the issue is resolved. Is Twitter really that much better to inform us it's broken?

Re: android-build's are failing, we're on it...
Sorry to say that, but I hate these kind of emails at Linaro Dev, as I believe we have other places (and better ones) to report such issues. Twitter would probably be the way to go. If you really need to send it to linaro-dev, would you mind at least giving more information and writing the email properly to avoid just using the subject? Thanks. -- Ricardo Salveti de Araujo ___ linaro-dev mailing list linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-dev
