Both the logs and the database are kept on a project machine, meaning you'd need to become a developer to get access (unless there are exceptions). Indirect manipulation of the database is possible via mail interface on the autobuilder. I believe the mail engine currently refuses to further add information to packages in state failed (expecting them to be in state building) but I've not tried recently... Nope, doesn't work. That might be a thing to try - change check_state(Building) to check_state(Building, Failed) for fail replies. Michael
