This part I agree with, actually - I don't monitor my Bodhi mail as closely as I should because of this issue. For example, take this update: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2019-81bcdfa3d5 Basically nothing of interest happened in its lifecycle. I created it, it got pushed to updates-testing, it reached the time threshold for being pushed stable, it was pushed stable. For that I get *five* emails notifying me of comments from bodhi itself: 1. "This update has been submitted for testing by adamwill." (yes, I know, that's *me*, I just *did* it) 2. "This update has been pushed to testing." (this is hardly news: it happens every time. Do I need an email to tell me about it?) 3. "This update can be pushed to stable now if the maintainer wishes" (maybe useful if I *don't* have autopush-for-time turned on, but is it any use if I *do*?) 4. "This update has been submitted for stable by bodhi." (obviously this arrived at exactly the same time as #3; there's really no need for both) 5. "This update has been pushed to stable." (again, this is hardly unexpected, do I really need yet another email to tell me?) Now, considering a fairly common workflow is to submit updates for multiple releases at a time - up to 6, if we have two stable releases, Branched, and you're submitted to three EPEL branches - this gets pretty silly: for 6 branches, I'm guaranteed to get *30* emails. Thus my Bodhi mail folder is a disaster area and I generally don't notice *interesting* things sent there, instead I spot them when I happen to go to the Bodhi web UI and look at updates there. Now, I could I guess do some fancy filtering for this client side; I could just try and filter out every mail that's only telling me about a comment from "bodhi" (although this isn't that easy because there is no convenient header to tell me this, it would have to be done by parsing the message content). But it might be nicer/more efficient to have some simple server-side choices here, like "don't send me mails for bodhi telling me about perfectly normal things happening", or something like that... > A build finished. Yes, I know. I saw the "fedpkg build" command > complete. Nit: Bodhi would not send you an email for this, because Bodhi has nothing to do with builds, only updates. At this point no update exists and there's nothing Bodhi could possibly email you about. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
