Hi, we tested your kernel and here are the results:

Overall result: FAILED
         Merge: OK
       Compile: FAILED

You can find all the details about the test run at https://datawarehouse.cki-project.org/kcidb/checkouts/41055

One or more kernel builds failed: Unrecognized or new issues: x86_64 - https://datawarehouse.cki-project.org/kcidb/builds/218267

Hi Greg,

we fixed the issue that caused the lack of notifications for build failures (hence me sending the email manually yesterday), and that in turn caused some super old emails from May to go out. That was less than expected, and we're sorry about that.

...

Am I going to be forced to click through to find out the problems with all of these reports? Why not provide the error log?

The error log isn't at that link, where are we supposed to find it to figure out what went wrong?

The logs would normally be available, but as a consequence of the old emails going out, they were already deleted.

We're also working on a reporting mode that would add the failure log links into the email directly, and for build failures, embed the traces in the email body too. Would these two provide a suitable solution for you?

That's a good start, yes.

...

...

If you find a failure unrelated to your changes, please tag it at https://datawarehouse.cki-project.org . This will prevent the failures from being incorrectly reported in the future. If you don't have permissions to tag an issue, you can contact the CKI team or test maintainers.

Please reply to this email if you have any questions about the tests that we ran or if you have any suggestions on how to make future tests more effective.

I have no idea what the subject line means, sorry. A random git commit id with no context isn't helpful, what are we to do with that?

Would it be more useful to provide a branch name in the subject as well, and a commit description in the body? Or something completely different?

Think about what you would want to see in an email to try to figure out what it is trying to say. Make it obvious what the email is about and referencing and what needs to be done about it.

thanks,
