Hi All, There seems to be a fair few builds that fail alot and nothing is being done by the projects to fix them. Hudson is supposed to be here to help you guys test for failures and you fix them, that's the point.
https://hudson.apache.org/hudson/job/HBase-TRUNK/ as an example has been failing constantly for 21 days - not picking on HBase specifically here and I haven't looked into the cause, but really, junit tests failing for over 3 weeks , it should be fixed by now. (So I have disabled it until someone from the project looks at it) If there are many projects like this using up resources that more attentive projects could otherwise be using then I think they should be removed after ONE WEEK of failing at the VERY LATEST. Please, projects, be attentive to your builds. If you need help then please ASK, but know that as always the Hudson admins are volunteers, so provide whatever info you feel will be helpful. It is in the Hudson Admins interests and ALLcprojects interests to clean up your builds and ensure they are fixed so that they 'usually' pass rather than usually fail., this will help in the smoother operations of our Hudson systems. Thanks. Gav...
