[Buildbot-devel] Send only one mail even when several builds fail

Hi David,

This may not be what you're looking for, but you could also merge those 
builders into the buildsteps of a single builder, and have the first step 
flunkOnFailure (thus not running the other steps, and sending a single 
mail).

However, I may have a similar need : I have a nightly scheduler which 
triggers the builders, and I'd like to send a single summary mail when all 
the builders have run.

It looks like the same problem to me, but if it's not I'll happily open a 
new thread (and in this case, sorry for highjacking...)

Do we have something similar to the mergeRequests function, but for 
notifications ? (this is not specific to sending mails, it could apply to 
IRC and others too)


Cheers,
Aurélien
