Hi, is it possible for a 'building' package to send a mail to the buildd admin of the current buildd machine (i.e. something like [EMAIL PROTECTED])?
Reason: somewhere around Sep-Nov 2005, an alternative symlink was left by the octave2.1 package in state 'manual'. This means that packages build-depending on octave2.1 fail to build (if they are built on a buildd which built octave2.1 in this period). A more explicit explanation can be found at http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2006/01/msg01566.html. Sending this problem to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list didn't fix it for all machines, as can be seen at http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.php?pkg=octaviz%26ver=0.4.0-26% 26arch=ia64%26stamp=1149076049%26file=log (search for '2005'). Now, I would like to add something to debian/rules that checks for the state (auto/manual) of this symlink and sends a mail to the buildd admin if the state is 'manual'. Thus, only involved admins would be bothered. Alternatively, I could add update-alternatives --auto octave-config to debian/rules; but I don't know if this is acceptable. Suggestions?
