The easiest way to track build failures is to receive
the emailed logs and sort them to a folder, so you can maintain a
running list of current failures and detect new ones easily.
To do this, add an email address to
.
You can easily bounce the new ones to maintainers.${branch}
/portbuild.conf
After a port appears broken on every build combination
multiple times, it is time to mark it BROKEN
.
Two weeks' notification for the maintainers seems fair.
To avoid build errors with ports that need to be manually
fetched, put the distfiles into
~ftp/pub/FreeBSD/distfiles
.
Access restrictions are in place to make sure that only the
build clients can access this directory.
