Ian / Ian,
Daniel V. was lurking on a recent CentOS Virt SIG IRC meetings, and asked
about testing the libvirt git repo against libxl. I mentioned that we
already had some basic tests to do that, and he asked whether it would make
sense to have the push gate e-mail the libvirt list.
I have no idea how the libvirt people feel about that, so I'll let DV make
his case, and also let he Ians give their opinions.
I guess from my POV the answer probably hinges on the reliability of the
test harness. If it has a very low false failure rate, then it'd be ok
to send it to this list. Conversely if there's a non-trivial false failure
rate it'd be better to have it go to an individual who filters it and just
forwards the real failures to the list.
An alternative idea would be for us to setup a new 'libvirt-testing'
mailing list, exclusively for spamming by CI systems, that people could
opt-in to subscribing to.
In my experience the test e-mails are fairly chatty, and fail for any
number of reasons. The most recent test mail can be found here, for
instance:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/xen/devel/332583
And it seems to have failed because of a problem with the ARM testing
hardware (since builds of Xen and Linux fail as well).
My suspicion is that most people on libvir-list will learn to ignore the
mails unless someone raises a particular failure as something worth
looking at; in which case it might be better to have a separate opt-in
list. (Or to wait until someone on xen-devel raises the issue.)
