I propose that all sub-project builds that send email to infra be diverted to the <sub-project>-patches mailing list.

From: "Mike Burns" <mburns(a)redhat.com&gt; To: infra(a)ovirt.org Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2013 5:48:26 PM Subject: Jenkins alerts on infra list I've noticed that the infra list has been somewhat inundated with Jenkins build failure notices recently. I wanted to ask whether infra is really the right place to get these notifications. In some cases, I think that it is the right place, but in most, I think it's not. Things like: check_disk_space_on_jenkins_slaves check_gerrit_ovirt_org and other jobs that are purely monitoring or slave maintenance jobs should report to infra. Other jobs that are sub-project oriented, I think, should alert a sub-project specific mailing list: ovirt-engine_create_rpms_fedora ovirt-engine_dao_unit_tests ovirt-engine-update_db_multiple_os etc... While I think infra should know when there are service problems (like a machine's disk is full, or a service is down), I don't think it's worthwhile for infra to be alerted for *every* failure of a job in jenkins. It's not the job of infra to make other sub-projects fix their builds, just to provide the jenkins service. I propose that all sub-project builds that send email to infra be diverted to the <sub-project>-patches mailing list. Thoughts?
