I don't see what the problem is in having a single response to the thread saying that the test was run, the result of the run, and a link to a page about it. It's certainly less mail than I get in the course of a normal review cycle about patch series I'm not interested in. I mean, suppose we just had a really enthusiastic contributor who made it their personal goal to test and build every patch that was sent to the list. Would anyone really complain about a single extra mail per series, when a typical series generates dozens of human-generated mails anyway? -George _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.xenproject.org/mailman/listinfo/xen-devel
