The attached 0001-* patch should implement the following: When transitioning from failure to success, email all committers since previous success. Compared to my request quoted above, this also gets in the loop the committer of the fix. It uselessly spams people that committed since last failure and did not fix the build (but did an unrelated change), but I think the service to the committer of the fix is worth that.
Thanks a lot, that looks nice - deployed on MacOSX-Intel_3-OSX_10.6.0-gcc_4.0.1 locally, shoot me if that gets annoying! :)
The attached 0002-* patch implements another change I think is relevant: on failure (and the above failure-success transition), email authors as well as committers. After all, the author of the patch may have more clue and/or insight into the problem than the committer.
Hm. Not taking that for the while, as sometimes tinderboxen are *very* spamming, and if author!=committer, the author typically has no way of committing a fix him or herself. If the committer needs help, they're always able to ask the author explicitely. Cheers, -- Thorsten
