Well, mails would not only be sent in case of compile failure but also
in the case of make distcheck failure, which is quite easy to break. But
we can certainly try and see how it plays out.

Hi,

How about letting this buildbot approving commits in some way?

My employer uses Hudson and I considered using Hudson for GIMP too.
Automatically building and testing commits before they are merged to
master is a really neat thing to do.

But I chose buildbot over Hudson because

* buildbot is more readily available than Hudson, for example, Fedora 13
does not have Hudson packages
* buildbot is built on Python, which is less controversial in terms of
software freedom than Java (Personally I'm fine with both, but it can
still matter to some)
* I already knew Hudson and wanted to learn buildbot
* I feared that people would look at Gerrit+Hudson as an obstacle, since
commits needs to be submitted, it's not enough to just push

And now that I've experimented with buildbot a bit, I have ended up
liking the system, so I don't plan to switch over to Hudson

I have mails being sent on failure now to my own inbox, but the
blamelist doesn't work yet. As soon as it does I'll make the buildbot
(currently hosted on my laptop until we have a proper host) send mails
directly to gimp-developer.

For now I'll just forward failure mails manually.

GIMP make distcheck failed tonight:

make[1]: Entering directory `/var/buildbot-slave/gimp/build'

Problem found in ./libgimp/gimp.def
the following symbols are in the library,
but are not listed in the .def-file:
+ gimp_item_transform_2d

+ gimp_item_transform_perspective
+ gimp_item_transform_rotate
+ gimp_item_transform_rotate_simple
+ gimp_item_transform_scale
+ gimp_item_transform_shear

*** .def files inconsistent ***

make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/buildbot-slave/gimp/build'
make: *** [distdir] Error 2
