Please create a mailing list for Jenkin's build failures

[Zach Pfeffer]

It would be helpful to send mail to users when a build fails. Creating a mailing list would let people easily add themselves. Perhaps the subject of the mail could have the build name that failed to ease sorting.

[Fathi Boudra (fboudra)]

Jenkins provides out of the box an RSS feeds for failures. It can be found at the bottom of each page.
e.g. https://android-build.linaro.org/jenkins/view/Official%20builds/rssFailed

There's a feed for each view, jobs or even a catch all RSS.

There's also e-mail notifications, hence it could be sent to a mailing list.
The subject by default is: "Build failed in Jenkins: ${JOB_NAME} #${BUILD_NUMBER}"

Could you confirm that you still want the mailing instead of the RSS feed? both providing similar functionality.

Please agree on a mailing list and where should it be created with Philip Colmer (Linaro IT manager: he might suggest a google group, a Launchpad mailing list or lists.linaro.org mailing list).

Here are the mailing list setup to track the public and the restricted builds:
https://groups.google.com/a/linaro.org/forum/?hl=en&fromgroups#!forum/linaro-android-restricted-builders
https://groups.google.com/a/linaro.org/forum/?hl=en&fromgroups#!forum/linaro-android-builders

[Данило Шеган (danilo)]

Vishal, can you please provide a list of builds that should go to the each list? (if we are not explicit, we may send data to the wrong list: I suppose it's enough to enumerate the open builds list and restricted list is the default).

Also, Zach says in a platform leads call that he wants juice builds to email linaro-juice@.

Following jobs were updated to send out notifications to corresponding lists:

Email-ext jenkins plugin was installed and all ~linaro-android-* builds were configured to send email notifications to one of the suggested lists based on restricted or non-restricted build type.
Following triggers were configured:

Not Built: An email will be sent if the build status is "Not Built".

Unstable: An email will be sent any time the build is unstable.If the "Still Unstable" trigger is configured, and the previous build status was "Unstable",then the "Still Unstable" trigger will send an email instead.

Still Unstable: An email will be sent if the build status is "Unstable" for two or more builds in a row.

Failure: An email will be sent any time the build fails. If the "Still Failing" trigger is configured,and the previous build status was "Failure", then the "Still Failing" trigger will send an email instead.

Still Failing: An email will be sent if the build status is "Failure" for two or more builds in a row.

Aborted: An email will be sent if the build status is "Aborted".

Fixed: An email will be sent when the build status changes from "Failure" or "Unstable" to "Successful".
