[Buildbot-devel] Using blamelist

[Alexander Lorenz]

hi,

the default configuration for the mailer is to send mail to 'interested 
users', which are all users who contributed to the build, not just the 
ones that might have caused errors (bb has no way of knowing what 
exactly caused the build to fail, it only has a notion of its 
buildstep's exit codes).

via 'extra recipients' you can send the build info mail to other uses 
(or mailing groups) as well.

but don't have too high expectations: as for explained reason, the 
blamelist is rather 'stupid' and can in no way replace deeper problem 
analysis by a human (also as to who exactly caused the problem), but it 
is helpful for a start.


regards

lx
