Subscribe to Test Results

To add (or remove) your email to nightly test-results emails:

• Check out and/or update $G/common/build/site and $G/common/build/valid from CVS.
  • In the site directory, look at the files test.platform.cfg, test.platform_critical.cfg, and test.platform_slow.cfg.
  • In the valid directory, look at the test.platform_*.cfg files, particularly test.platform_vrl.cfg.
    • Note: I (jadrian) am not really sure whether the scripts in "valid" run, and if so, what they're for. Worth somebody investigating.
• Read the instructions in the comment at the top of each file.
• Add your name to the list of emails anywhere you would like to be notified.
• Save the files you edit, and then commit them.
