Hello, developers. We have added a new mail alias travis-ci@g.o and set up travis-ci [1] to send notifications on status change there. Please seriously consider adding yourself to the alias, and contributing to the quality of Gentoo.
The mail load is low -- travis will only send notices when the state changes from 'good' to 'bad', and the other way around. However, you will need to manually grep the logs provided by travis for occurences of 'FATAL'. Please remember that keeping the repository in a broken state is inconvenient both for users and other developers. In particular the issues include: 1. dependency resolution errors blocking @world upgrades, 2. Portage unnecessarily switching packages to ~arch (and therefore reducing quality of stable systems), 3. repoman refusing to commit irrelevant changes to packages. Therefore, whenever possible please try to fix the issues ASAP. However, if you are not the person directly responsible for the dependency graph breakage, please *reliably* inform him about the revert/change you're doing. Failing to do has already resulted in developers repeating their mistakes because of misinformation. Preferably, always file a bug in such a case and make it block the 'broken-depgraph' tracker [2]. When assigning/CC-ing to the bug, please make sure to include both the maintainers of the broken package, and the maintainers of the dependency as necessary.
