These error messages can be quite long and annoying, far too detailed for the likes of the -current mailing list, which is why I've been sending them only to an opt-in alias called "build-reports@freebsd.org" which sends a success/failure summary like yours and include the last 100 lines of failure output for debugging. It also does this for both the RELENG_4 branch and -current. That said, I've also done a singularly bad job of actually letting people know that build-reports even exists so I wouldn't expect you or anyone else (except maybe Bill Paul) to have known about it. It's just an alias on hub.freebsd.org right now and not a real majordomo-managed mailing list, so I wasn't inclined to take on the workload of managing the alias. It does at least log its results to the build-reports mail archive so anyone looking in /home/mail/build-reports on hub can also spy on the current status of both active branches. If there's a real interest in this, then this should obviously be created as a real mailing list and probably split into build-reports-stable and build-reports-current for people who only want one or the other. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
